Ulric augers wisely. Might I warn thee all that faced with only 1 HD opponents, a 4 HD Ogre will attack twice per round. Any two of you might be felled in a single round of ill dice.

Not safely -- the passage is tight and crowded with the fighting.

Pelenwin can see that there really isn't room to get by Caine or into the melee. Looking quickly about he spies Michele's (loaded) arbelast at his feet. Hmmm, he might put a spear-sized hole in an Ogre with that...

"Dieter...when you have a moment", says Gustave, visibly shaken by the sudden disposal of Michele. He presses the attack, seeking an end to the apparently indomitable foe, while manoevring to permit the foaming Dieter to deliver additional fury.

Andaros:

"Dieter! Flank the creature! He must be taken down fast!"

If Dieter is able to maneuvre and attack the ogre from behind, Andaros will strike again.

"Surrender, foul creature, you have no chance to survive!"

Dieter doesn't respond, but he is already turning and attacking the other Ogre.

(As I already posted, above.)

Judging from the map, it should be easy for me to flank it.

Mads the Fair

Mads hears the suggestion amidst a fierce battle and will fall back after he dispatches his first wolf.

Ulric (wisdom 13) and Padrig (wisdom 14) judge the filthy Ogre to be some 40ft away, and know all too well that such monsters can cover 90ft per round...

Ulric sees their doom in the face of the massive ogre. Hearing Mads, he quickly begins to fall back down the passage to give the fighting men some room to fight.

"Oil," he shouts, "we need oil here!"

OOC: There may not be time for firebombs, but perhaps we can douse the corridor with oil and light it as we retreat?
