A few comments:
1) Negotiations is the general rule in Mantol Derith. One of the stated reasons for the arena is to cut down on general violence and mayhem (although it hasn't had much effect on cutting down general violence).
2) Everybody hates Illithids. The Grimlocks and Quaggoths are probably either mind-controlled or have been slaves of the Illithids ever since they were born. In particular, the Duergar are unlikely to sit passively by and watch another Duergar's brain be eaten.
3) Quertus could probably run back to the luxury box. All other escape routes would require magic or risk AOOs for moving too close to a Grimlock.

Quertus isn't afraid of the Grimlocks, he can, and will blast them into oblivion if they start hostilities.Endur said:
It's the Mind Flayers he's afraid of, and he could buy enough time to let others surprise them.
Of course, he will do (about) as the Matron orders.
EDIT: To the Luxury box it is, though I think it as a great strategic mistake.

Arena area
The arena area consists of an Iron Cage (that is 40' long by 30' wide by 20' high), a clear oval area of five feet to ten feet between the cage and the audience chairs. The audience area slopes upwards 50 feet or so on a diagonal.
The four Luxury boxes are approximately 30 feet in from where the audience area begins.
The two luxury boxes that are along the long part of the arena are on opposing sides. The Drow have one box and the Duergar have the other box.
The luxury box on one narrow end is used by the gambling staff and is also near the entrance to the arena area.
The luxury box on the opposite end is the luxury box Laral was using.
The luxury boxes are approximately 20 feet wide (for viewing) by 20 feet deep. There is one staircase going up to the luxury boxes from the rear of the luxury box. The rear of the luxury box is about ten feet up from the audience stands. The front is about 30 feet up from the audience, and about sixty feet up from the arena floor.
The ceiling is about 80 feet from the arena floor.
Trygon's cage is beneath the Drow luxury box and made of stone, except for the gate itself which is steel. The duergar luxury box and Laral's luxury box also have steel gates. Jena thinks there might be a land shark (a bullette) underneath Laral's luxury box. Nobody has any idea what might be beneath the Duergar luxury box (the last creature they had was killed by Trygon).

I thought so too, until I considered the possibility that the Illithids could Dispell his disguise. If that happened we would have to deal with an army of offended Duergar, and risk having Quertus lynched on the spot. Illithid are extremely intelligent and I have the feeling our DM would play them as ruthlessly as they should be played.
Besides, Quertus posess the only means by which we could leave the Arena quickly, if we don't have the option to flee we might all too easily be massacred.
And now, when Quertus is probably Dominated he would be worse than dead if he had not re-joined us. Now on the other hand he will probably kill us all.

First I brought this out here cause it probably going to be a few days before I get to do anything in character. If anyone thinks the discussion has gone far enough please say something, I don't want to offend anyone nor start a conversation that could be reserved for a BoEF thread.
That said I don't want to be impolite and not respond.
More detailed reply (highlight with your mouse to read)
Why their are probably many bugbears in the Mantol Derith at any given time, but Kilcif has no cete, the "proper" word for a bugbear tribe, in fact he might have sold their where about along time ago for money. (As seen in his history) He’s a loner not really needing anything from anyone, other than his or her money to feed his ravenous greed. That also means that with his continued exposer to other races and their attractive females he’s been desensitized to his own race. Bugbears seek and respect two things coins (money) and power. Most races are weaker, at least physically, than bugbears and between that and the above would probably lead me to believe he likes other races better…
Bottom line: Kilcif is too greedy to want to pay for it, and what since of power is there in having to pay someone for it?
