Well, it didn't seem like Ionjae was watching this time, and no one else is, so you think you're fine.
Fergus doesn't really care about some magical brat getting offed, but he'll listen to you if you want to tell him the gory details.
You're fighting in a week (10 days) against a half-ogre named Narg. His name might have been something else at some point, but his jaw has been broken so many times that now that's as much as he can enunciate. The fight isn't officially to the death, but everyone is going to expect to see the half-elf get broken and smashed to a bloody pulp, and probably die on the spot. William might not be all that trusting when you tell him about this.
No one has even heard that the murder has happened yet, nor do they have any idea who this kid is. He didn't exactly frequent those sorts of social circles.
Narg is favored 20 to 1. He's reasonably experienced. His owner, another underworld (if such a thing can really be said to exist in the semi-anarchy of Sigil) lowlife similar to Fergus, is a mind flayer who doesn't properly have a name, but for the convenience of his associates answers to Edward. The fight is going to be in the basement of a seedy brothel, and you have no reason to think that Narg intends to take a dive. No one would really believe it without some serious help, so you've got your work cut out for you.
There is a pretty decent chance that someone would catch on to the presence of a summoned creature at the fight, so it isn't going to make a good stand in for William. If you've got some other use for it, then by all means try it.
On a similar note, any spells cast from outside the perimeter of the fight are likely to be detected, so you'll be wanting to find a way to let William take prepared effects in with him, or some other way of rigging the fight.
"... should I even ask why you'd want me to summon this creature for you?" Ionjae doesn't seem disapproving, more like amused.
"There is perhaps a thing that you could do for me. In return for this summoning, you'll give me all the gold from the sales of our loot. And, furthermore, you'll owe me a small favor in the future."
Ionjae looks pleased by the power the request Varian has offered, he seems to be awaiting his response.
It's just a basement. Large, open. Right now there are crates stacked in the middle of it, but presumably they'll be moved before the fight. Feel free to make up an exact layout yourself if it's important to some plot, though I'll veto any too-obvious security flaws.
As to the new students, what exactly do you want to do with them? You've got 2 who are considering minoring in enchantment. However, you've also got that date with Moll, an enchantress.
