I can confirm this. The only mods i used were DFhack's `assign-skills` script to become a novice reader, `gui/create-item` to get an exceptional tea wood scroll, a completely different arena, and a tiny cosmetic change to dwarves. I don't think any of these should have interfered with anything.

I also come with some extra information. The area that one gets plopped in is the same X and Y dimensions of the arena (144×144), but is 16 z-levels high. The zero layer is where the adventurer appears. It's the penultimate layer, and is only generic grass, clay, and…specifically _marble_ ground, for some reason? I dunno. Also, the -1 layer is entirely revealed.

It's not possible to travel outside of the bounds of the arena. As far as i can tell, similar restrictions are placed on the adventurer as they normally would be in the arena (no quest log, no fast travel, no chopping down trees, etc.).

Personally, i think this is actually pretty cool, though i have to wonder how this could possibly have happened.
