"Of course we leave the body, stop pushing it! What if that thing decides to attack us? Or became too Charmed? We can order it to remove the body later, no need to waste your strength on it".
"If you are going to do this, then do so, or let's just head back and find another path. We don't even know that the door through there is of any interest, or goes anywhere we want to go." Ravanala says in irritation. "I have something I have to do..."
Hjaldek looks at the party with confusion. "Spell? Oh no, I was just going to charm him with my pure charisma. I've yet to learn a spell that could charm such a creature. Well, no matter. My charisma is surely to have the same affect as if I were to cast a spell on him. I mean look at me. Who could resist?" He flips his hair back and winks at Mist before turning to the half-ogre with an over exaggerated look of sympathy and his hand over his heart. "Excuse me, my good half ogre sir. My apologies for your lost. Your heart must hurt deeply and it hurts my own to see you in such sorrow. If you'd allow me to, I would love to help you feel better. All you have to do is tell us if you know the way out of this place."
Mist gave a long judgmental look. Walked around Hjaldek to see from another angle and finally sneered: "the ogre will be moved, no doubts". She did not put away her bow and watched the whole conversation from a respectful distance.
Leaning in a bit closer to Mist the half elf whispers “At least this one knows the proper function of men. Even if they are not so good at the art itself.”
(I will take your persuasion score, I do not feel like you are trying to be deceitful here...in the future if you could make the choice yourself though...are you being forthright, or trying to mislead?)
The half-ogre in the other room looks up...you can see think soupy tears rolling down it's grey face.
"Now alone, no brother, no little brother, no little brother. You attack. You kill. You no help. Me no help you. Me know no way. No way to go. Me there, not here. You here, no there. Me no help you. Go away!"
Scooping the headless corpse of the orc up into its arms once again the ogre turns and lumbers out of the room through the exit in the east.

"Huh. That's a win as far as I know. We don't have to fight them, and we discovered whether they know the way out or not, they don't. Time to continue forwards." Maghana states simply, before looking towards the group. "We have a lot of paths in front of us, they all have the same chance of leading us out of here, so which one are we going to choose?"
(OCC: Ah, that's true. I suppose I wasn't trying to be deceitful. Just trying to get them to help us out.)
"Oh. Well the peaceful path is always the best path and I'm sure it's due to my presence here that it went so well. It's as Darxaris says, we do not know much of this place so please, lead the way!"
You could tell that Misttyn was not convinced with all that hipster "peace is the virtue" talk, but she shrugged and eased her grip on the bow. "We can flip a coin. Heads - left, tails - right. And if lands on the edge - we follow the ogre."1 She did just that - flipped a coin. "The coin says - left!" declared Mist and bravely led those who believes in fate to the upper corridor, past the room where newcomers emerged from.
Ravanala looks for the last door they passed that they did not try. (If not in this room, then in the previous,and so forth until she finds one they have not tried yet. The door the half-ogre went through being the only one she is not trying yet.)
"Sounds acceptable. As I said, we can't know the right path until we explore, so this is as good a choice as any." Maghana says, before following the group, as they head in that direction.
"Ah yes! A fine way to decide which way to go. A test of luck and fate! Magnificent. I like your style, uh, hm.... I don't think I actually got all of your names?"
"Mist," introduced herself Misttyn on the go and keeping pace, "and this is Ravanala, Wing, Maghana and Caryarus". Easily distractible she, nevertheless, never complained about her memory. "Now, what is here? Aha, another corridor. Who built that place!"
”So no map then? Do any of you happen to have some parchment and ink? Or I have some wood carving tools perhaps I could cut something onto a piece of hide?” Before leaving the room she goes back to the closet she had awaken in. Drawing a dagger she makes a cut into the door frame on the side that would have been to her right as she came out. Hurrying to catch up with the others she cuts a mark into the right side of the next door frame as well.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Wing looks at Darxaris "we came from that door, now we are going this way. Why do you want a map?". He then walks into the corridor, trying to see if there are any more orcs in there.
Sorry to do this to you all but I am going to have to drop out of this campaign. I've enjoyed playing with all of you. Enjoy the rest of the adventure.

”It might be better if we leave the body. That way if the spell does work we have a barrier between us and the brute.”

”Very well. As the only place I have seen are these two rooms please lead the way. Have you by chance made a map of the rooms you have been in?”
(OCC: Ah, that's true. I suppose I wasn't trying to be deceitful. Just trying to get them to help us out.)

Wing looks intently at Mist's coin and proclaims "this is a new way to find the way out, I like it". He starts following Mist to the northern door.
"Works for me." Ravanala says, following as well.
"Sounds acceptable. As I said, we can't know the right path until we explore, so this is as good a choice as any." Maghana says, before following the group, as they head in that direction.
