Bjolmar took note of how confident the Redguard seemed in his abilities but said nothing in response, instead continuing to hack away at the dummy in front of him.

Not long afterwards there was a roar of applause and the portcullis opened, allowing the guards to step into the arena. The Khajiit, who was covered in cuts and blood (both from him and the cliff racers) was escorted out of the arena, half-limping. Another guard went in after the first two escorted the Khajiit out of the arena, presumably to get rid of the corpses of the cliff racers.

After that had been taken care of, the same guards who had escorted the Khajiit out of the arena returned and began looking through the prisoners to find gladiators. They spotted Raig and Bjol instantly and hurled them into the arena, then began looking around for another gladiator to join them. Their eyes stopped on Scathach and they grabbed her, then tossed her into the arena along with the others. The portcullis slammed shut behind them and Bjol was only just able to get to his feet before the portcullis on the other side opened. There was shouting on the other side, but finally the guards were able to herd their opponent into the arena and close the portcullis before it could turn around and tear them apart, leaving Bjol, Scathach, and Raig to deal with the beast.

The mantikora turned to face the gladiators and snarled, it's tail flicking back and forth angrily while it regarded them with surprisingly intelligent eyes.
