How do you get past the arena in The Hold of Rime: The Fortress Spire? Tried talking to Sleetsaber Gnonlin, who gave us a potion to put in the mug of one of the fighters (which we did, got a red message about it fizzling in the drink as it dissolved), then we talked to Abelbrow the Bookie: Abelbrow the Bookie says 'Allo there! Would you like to placea wager on this next battle between the unbeaten Kreegar Krikneck and Quanth Coldblade? You never know Quanth might get lucky or sumthin...' Select the only option: 'I sure do! Put a platinum piece down on Quanth to win!' Abelbrow the Bookie says 'Excellent! The odds are 20 to 1! So at 1 platinum put in you could win... Let's see... Carry the 4...Divided by 42....18 platinum pieces! Taking into account for my fee obviously!' Select the only option: 'I have no interest in giving away any of my platinum.' That's where we got stuck. We killed all the sparring mobs down there, ran around a few times, tried talking to sleetsaber gnonlin again, nothing happened. The doors to the next room were locked, I remember this problem back in the day... but what is this still a bug in TLE ?
