Council of Thieves book 2 (The Sixfold Trial) has the PCs need to go through The Six Trials of Lazarod. By default, the PCs are doing this to get invited to a post-play party so that they can search the host's manor, but it seems real easy for things to take a nasty turn and the PCs get outright conscripted instead. Later on (I think in book 3, but I'm not 100% sure about the book boundaries), the PCs encounter a gladiatorial arena -- by default, participation in the arena combat is considered a matter of prestige, but again it would be real easy for things to take a nasty turn and the PCs get outright conscripted instead.
In Hell's Rebels, if things take a nasty turn and the PCs get captured and enslaved, they could be forced to fight in a gladiatorial arena, although this situation doesn't seem to be as close to ready-made as the 2 situations in Council of Thieves.
Aspiring Hellknights have to win a fight to the death with a Devil of more hit dice than themselves (normally summoned), witnessed by a Hellknight. It would be real easy for the witnessing Hellknight(s) to enjoy this too much . . . .
