"Shrek in-tood-rrr?" he says with a confused look on his face, not understanding words with more than two syllables. After a little goading from Ankita, along with finger acting out the scene to follow, a figurative lightbulb appears on top of Shrek's head as he finally understands his role.
After giving them a few seconds to get ready with the ruse, Shrek will come clomping up to the orc like he's twice the size he normally is. "Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum...me smells food that me's gonna take from you."
Bonus action - Shrek rages
Shrek claw attacks the ogre, using his point of inspiration for advantage on the attack-
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Going to give an inspiration point to Olaerys and Melchor for this fun idea! Not even bothering with a deception roll again because, well, ogre).
Sandre and Petra stay in the hallway by the door room in case Jurth cones back.
Olaerys and Randall catch up to Drool who is about 30 feet from the cells , causing him to stop and turn. He looks at Randall, and scratches his head confused. "Who this? Why you not go with Jurth to fight?"
He then sees Shrek lumbering down the hall, axe mid swing. He pushes past you as he sees the threat, squishing Olaerys against the wall as he does so (its 10 feet wide so not enough room fir an ogre and 2 humans. Olaerys takes 3 crushing Damage.
He takes Shreks axe clean in the shoulder but he doesn't even blink, swinging his club at the new foe.
When it's time for Randall and Olaerys to spring the trap, Randall advances on the Ogre from behind and attempts a trip attack.
Trip Attack
When you hit with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to add the total to the damage roll, and if the target is Large or smaller, it must make a STR saving throw (DC 14). On failure, you knock the target prone.
Attack: 9 Damage: 10 Extra Damage: 3
[In case we get advantage for the Ogre not expecting us to attack from behind, 7.]

Olaerys times his attack as well after getting squished against the wall. “Surprise!” and attacks him from behind with his battle axe. He uses his bonus action to try and bash him with his shield in retaliation and force him down to the ground (if Randall’s attempt didn’t work).

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Olaerys lands a strong blow with his axe but the ogre stands strong against the shove, bellowing at being betrayed from behind. Shreks second blow misses.
You can hear commotion and voices as some of the prisoners can see what is going on.
(You are in the corridor leading to M19. Sandre and Petra are in M18, guarding it in case the orogs get through the barricaded western door. Bruldenthar and the two freed prisoners are at the west end of the corridor attempting to stay safe
The door smashes open despite Shreks hastily thrown up barricade. The two orogs burst in with a menacing looking, very fit female monk behind them. She is eyeless, the sockets covered over with scars. "I see you did not take the hint to leave well enough alone. I will now finish what that incompetent fool Qarbo did not"
Petra dodges one attack but the speed of the second palm strikes home followed by a snap kick to the ribs that lands with the crunch of broken bones and Petra slumps to the floor.
You hear a faint thud, and then a heart wrenching scream from Sandre. "Petra! No!"

Umber Claw Attack: 18 Damage: 13
Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?
OOC: Ummmm, stupid typo. That last post was Shrek attacking to ogre, not the orcs. The ogre is the bbeg here!

(In case editing the post mods the rolls, 6 dmg to olaerys, and the ogre Attack was 16 hit 12 dmg).
Is melchor staying with Sandre and Petra, or with Ankita and Shrek?
The ogres club glances off of Shrek's hairy chest with nary a scratch. "Surprise!" Shrek roars at the damn ogre, while attacking back at the beast-

Randall's lands a solid blow from behind surprising the now enraged ogre. His trip nearly works as Drool starts to stumble but catches itself.
(Ankita and Melchor can act)

You hear a dull thump and a yell from Sandre "It seems those orcs moved fast; They are at the door!"

Ankita takes her staff and whirls it at the ogre..
Attack: 24 Damage: 7
Ankitas staff connects solidly, further clobbering the quickly battered beast

The door smashes open despite Shreks hastily thrown up barricade. The two orogs burst in with a menacing looking, very fit female monk behind them. She is eyeless, the sockets covered over with scars. "I see you did not take the hint to leave well enough alone. I will now finish what that incompetent fool Qarbo did not"
Initiative:
Sandre: 11
Petra:13
Orogs:14
Woman: 6

Petra and Sandre both grip their longswords with two hands and assume defensive stances.
"Melchor, Olaerys, the surprise is up! We will try and hold but this may be beyond us alone"
The orogs advance, one on each knight.
On Sandre: Attack: 11 Damage: 11
On Petra: Attack: 20 Damage: 14
They return blows, attempting to hold ground until reinforcements come.
Sandre: Attack: 8 Damage: 12
Attack: 9 Damage: 4
Petra: Attack: 15 Damage: 9
Attack: 6 Damage: 10
You hear a loud boom of splintering wood. Very shortly after you hear Sandre, voice tense.
"Melchor, Olaerys, the surprise is up! We will try and hold but this may be beyond us alone"
DM spoiler. I'll let you know when you can click.
The orogs attacks clumsily miss. Sandre lands one solid blow but the orogs plate armor deflect the rest.
The woman smirks and casually moves forward: "You have some skill I see. My turn now however. I return you to the earth from whence you came"
She then quickly moves alongside Petra, limbs becoming a blur of coordinated fury.

Unfortunately he is not :p
