Walkthrough
During this quest, all of your skills are changed to those in the Dwayna Vs Grenth (arena). You are also unaffected by the slowing effect of standing still on ice. After asking Casey Carpenter to send you to the fight, your team will spawn in an instance of Ice Cliff Chasms, surrounded by a large group of NPCs. Another large group of NPCs will soon turn hostile and attack you. A good strategy to use is to let your team die and stay back. Once your team has died the enemies will stop moving and you can then pull them one by one. Alternatively you can fortify to far left side and maybe retain a few teammates to help with the killing after you pull some to you.
