If that means "swimming upstream" against his comrades, then I guess that's what he'll have to do. And if they're running away, they're already getting out of his way.

Plus, if they see the look on his face, they're most likely going to let him by...

You can try, certainly. It won't be so bad for Caine, armed with stabbing daggers, but Mads will be attempting to swing an axe about in a 7ft wide passage shared with Caine!

And then there is the small matter of living and dying...

Understood.

Would it not be better to let the ogre enter the larger chamber so that we all, or at least most, have room to attack rather than two at a time? By limiting our numbers in the corridor we're putting ourselves at a disadvantage.

He is right people, let him come here!

He sheathes his blade and turns to help Ulric with Olaf, dragging the injured man into the side-tunnel before the double doors.

Verhaden; Mads is at the pointy end... what does he intend for next round?

Mads the Fair

Mads will be on the defensive, allowing others to pass through if they so desire. If he can get a swing in, he'll take it. Otherwise, given the restrictions of the corridor, he'll try to lead the Ogre towards the rest of the group.

So... Mads and Caine will make a fighting withdrawal, backing toward the ante chamber where the rest of the company await -- except Dieter who is heading up the passage toward Mads, Caine and the Ogre.

It is all down to the fall of the dice now...
