They can not close the doors as several dead ogres are in the way.  A confused ogre strikes one Fomorian Giant.  He begins to clear a path for himself with his club that is the size of the ogres themselves.  As he gets just inside the doorway everyone concentrates fire on him.  He drops just inside the doorway.  He teeters and stumbles making many run in fear of being crushed under his weight.  Instead he crashes against the stone walls and slumps there.Cedious and the adventurers run back to the throne room.  The Rheks there have already begun to open the small secret door.  The archer, whom knows the hallways better than Cedious leads a chase through the corridors to an area the giants, will have trouble reaching him but he can fire his bow down the hallway.Cedious hopes the crew of his ship is having better luck.</blockquote>
