I was neutral, had healing from Jharod

when I entered the Arena level and went lurking around there
Nak An'dwar suddenly went

"Too cowardly to fight in the arena, ye scum?"
(not exactly, memory)

and beat me up.

I was in coward mode - but beside from that
I think I wasn't cursed nor doomed mor invisible,

I was just a drakel thief wanting to have a look at the Arena while
being coward

Does he hate coward people? Never had that problem before
