Dialogue
 * "Inside this arena, I have gathered together a team of convicted criminals, who will face you in combat. To heighten the challenge and provide greater entertainment for those who have come to watch the battle, I will also let loose upon you some of the fierce creatures I have captured from across the Jade Sea. Are you a coward, or will you enter the arena and face this challenge?"

Before the battle starts, Portus makes the following announcements.
 * "Greetings Luxons. Many of you have traveled great distances to be here today, and you shall not go away disappointed. That I promise you!"


 * "They shall face a team of criminals who were convicted to battle in the arena for crimes too unspeakable and unsavory to mention aloud."


 * "For your entertainment, some of the creatures I have captured from across the vast expanses of the sea might also make a special appearance in the arena today!"


 * "I know you are all eager for the show, so without further talk... Let the battle begin!"

Walkthrough
The convicted criminals are a complete pushover. Bring Barrage, if you have it, or the henchman Aurora. If you find your target not dying fast enough, locate the monks and take them out first. All the convicted criminals have the same name, so it may be hard to locate the monks outright without watching their skill warmup bar. The monks will be the male staff carriers the females are mesmers or elementalists.

Note: This quest is repeatable every time you zone into the Archipelagos.
