There won't be space until the Ogre comes into the ante chamber -- if it does at all.

Correct. Unless it follows Mads and Dieter into the ante chamber.

"Over here, you slime ball. Not so tough now that I'm not in one of your iron barred cells," yells Pelenwin, "or are you scare for a little axe on face action?" Pelenwin awaits the orge's arrival in the ante chamber.

Padrig will watch the other passways with spear/shield in hand while he waits for a space to attack, or until someone needs healing.

Initiative is rolled (1d6; Dieter=3(+1), Mads=6(+1), Ogre=5)

"Hold still, ya snivelling runts!" growls the Ogre as it hews left and right with powerful axe strokes, smashing dust, sparks and great chips of stone from the brittle walls. Mads and Dieter counter and edge back artfully, working in tandem to harry the stinking monster and then fall back. Despite powerful lunges amid the staggering clatter of exchanged blows (1d20; Mads=7, Ogre=4, Dieter=10), none make their targets.

Meanwhile in the ante, Olaf is back on his feet, and he, Gustave, Andaros and Padrig ready arms for the assault which must surely be oncoming.

By the end of the round, Mads and Dieter have backed out of the passage and into the wider ante where their company await with weapons ready, but the Ogre pauses at the cusp of the passage and comes no further despite Pelenwin goading it with verbal abuse belaying his noble air.

"Filthy snots!" spits the Ogre with a grimmace, and begins to back into the gloom...

Not that anyone has searched the bodies as yet...

Padrig will get an oil and light it and throw it at the ogre, should be easy if he is standing there or retreating.

Does Padrig see the arbelast anywhere?

It may well be easy if nobody takes the battle up to the Ogre, but of course it will take Padrig a round to get out an oil and set a flame to it.

No, it is in the passageway behind the Ogre.

"Stand clear!" Ulric shouts to the battle-mad warriors.

Ulric focuses his mind and speaks the hideous words of the Anthracite Sufferance and releases the arcane fire into the ugly face of the ogre.

OOC: As long as he has a clear shot that is.
