Upon seeing the Ogre Diadochi would have started makes his way over to them, seeing that Simis is talking to the Ogre he won't step on Sim's toes and doesn't want the ogre to feel crowded so stays around 30 feet away.
The ogre looks over at Sim, hearing the creature talk about being guests in it's cave. Insight check: 0
"Yes. Cave. Pretty." It rambles off a few other words in some language you don't understand. But hearing that a tunnel is filled with rocks, it begins to make it's way to the other tunnel. It nods to the others in the room as it goes down. "Cave. Pretty. Mine." it says while passing other people giving you all a brief few moments to think or do something. For the next minute or so, you hear it heading down the tunnel that has the rocks build up and the bugs roaming around.
"WHY SO MUCH ROCK" you hear it shout back up the hallway. Sounding confused.
Sims follows the Ogre at a distance. "My good Ogre, I had hoped you had blocked it off as it was that way when we found it. Do you know what was behind it. When we inspected it we heard...noises...and see bugs crawling out but no idea what was back there or why it was blocked off. Can you tell us where it led? Maybe it was blocked off by the gods for a good reason." persuasion12
The ogre continues to listen to Sim, (Insight 11), before pointing at the rocks.
"Dumb guest. Blocked rocks. More rocks. But bugs are good," it's voice carries off as it thinks about bugs. Sim, you do not believe that this Ogre has any idea of why or what's beyond here.
Abigail is going to try and find a good spot to hide. Preferably, one that will be an idea place to strike from the shadows if the ogre makes its way down the tunnel where the other ogre is dead.
((Basically, she thinks things are going to go south as soon as this ogre sees its friend dead, so she wants to be hidden within striking distance of where she feels the ogre will turn on us. Stealth - 27))
Sim looks over to Diadochi, "Maybe check on our friend Eshe. eh? Oh and Diadochi that story you were telling earlier about the meal. You know the really emotional one right? Maybe find a way to spin what happened...better."
Then he turns to the Ogre. "My good Ogre, I promise that we had nothing to do with those rocks. Maybe those pesky, dirty, murderous, thieving goblins were here while you were out. I saw quite a few dead ones outside." persuasion7
The Ogre hears Sim (Insight: 18), and snarles. Shouting something in whatever other language it seems to speak, if it’s a language at all. It pushes past Diadochi, leaning over to stare at Sim.
Sim, you can see in the torch Diadochi is carrying the Ogre approach and lean over to look you in the eye. It’s eyes growing more and more full of fury and rage.
FOOD. NOT. DIRTY.
Everyone else in the hallway hears the creature yell. It’s voice finding the same pitch as the one DIadochi fought. Sim, you begin to understand just how limited its vocabulary is. It nearing a blinding rage because it assumed you just insulted food. You have one shot to calm it back down, but know if you speak too elegant, it may assume something the worst and attack anyway. Diadochi approaches beside you, at the ready for this to go south. You can see that’s its tense. Ready to strike. If you begin to back away, it may just lash out anyway if not calmed down. Diadochi, seeing this as well, you can only imagine how your monologuing put the other Ogre into a blinding rage and what it may have been shouting at you during your combat.
What do you all do?
(You can try to roll persuasion, or deceive; The DC is 18. Failure and the ogre will get a swing on you. Or, you can roll initiative and begin combat. But it’s just you and Diadochi in the tunnel right now, the others out of line of sight.)
Diadochi looks at Sims, he understands his friend it trying to communicate something ((let's see if he can figure out what)) insight12 .
He goes so close to figuring out what Sims is putting down, but not quite. He goes up to the Ogre "You Food not Dirty. My Food Dirty. Many Moons ago. My Greatest Mother give Dirty food... No Goblins in it.... had to use Vegetables... one of Darkest Days of Dia... Of Funny Nose Man's Life." ((all technically true)) persuasion12
The Ogre looks between Diadochi and Sim, before letting out a bellowing roar of anger. The rage inside of it raising from a eight, to a eleven. It reaches behind it, grabbing it's stone javelins and beginning to wield it like a club. Throughout the cave, everyone can hear the roar and know that whatever they were doing down in the bug tunnel has gone south. The raven begins to caw up a storm as well once more, having been quiet this entire time...
Round 1 (Start)
Setup: Diadochi and Sim are right in front of the large Ogre, a bit more than halfway down the second tunnel (40 feet away from the main cave). About 30 feet past the Ogre, is the rock wall with the bugs. The tunnel twists and turns, only giving a sight line every 15 feet or so as it descends down into the earth. The tunnel itself is about 10 feet wide, making so two persons can fight side by side before needing to acrobatics across the wall or through the ogre's legs. Lafetha and Yaalin (and the raven) are in the main cave, about 50 feet away from where Diadochi and Sim are. Abigail is in a hiding spot down by the dead first Ogre, roughly 50 feet away from the main cave, and then another 60 feet from Sim & Diadochi. Both tunnels are cast in darkness, save for Diadochi's torch that he's wielding in his trunk.

Initiative: 17
Diadochi see the Ogre go for it's weapon and steps between the Ogre and Sims (protection fighter first attack on Sims gets Disadvantage). "That story was too good for you anyway" ((Loxodon culture is largely centered around sharing stories so this would be a sick burn to a Loxodon, but no one else)). He swing his war hammer at the Ogre's jaw Attack: 24 Damage: 9 then he uses Action Surge to attack again going down for the Ogre's foot Attack: 15 Damage: 5.
Sim sighs as the Ogre roars at him. "I had such high hopes for you". Then he backs up while yelling over to Diadochi "We should move him backwards out of this cave a bit to open up the space."
Then Sim moves back the 15 ft while casting hunter's mark on the Ogre. Draws his bow and shoots. attack15 Damage 2

Following the others nervously, mumbling prayers to calm her nerves from the resurrection and now this second ogre..
Upon seeing the ogre attack she mutter 'Not this time... You,' he voice raises to a yell 'GROVEL.' Her hand sweeping through the air as the command lashes against the beasts mind.
Round 1 Summary: The ogre roars, and grabs it's weapons. Lafetha, hearing the Ogre moves down the corridor and springs a whip of thorns from her hand. It slashing across the ogre's arms, leaving a trail of blood (6), Diadochi brings his hammer against the beast twice (14), followed by a arrow fro Sim (7). Abigail moves out of the hallway and back to the main chamber as Yaalin heads down and commands the Ogre. She doesn't have a clear line of sight on the beast, but her words are able to catch it in a brief moment in the errupting fight. The ogre drops it's weaponry and moves prone. Groveling on the ground; but you know it'll only last a moment.
Setup: The Ogre is prone on the ground, giving advantage to anyone in melee but disadvantage to all others further than 5 feet away from it. Diadochi is within melee distance of the beast, but as it's prone currently, could move away before it stands back up. Sim is about 10 feet away from the Ogre, with Lafetha being 15 feet away from the Ogre. Yaalin is just behind the bend that Lafetha is around, no longer able to see the Ogre. Abigail is roughly 50 feet from the Ogre. Currently, with the ogre being prone, a person could move to flank it with ease. (Difficult terrain, no check, just costs 20 feet of movement.) This could be the moment to run back to the main chamber, or try to get around it. But Yaalin knows that his command is now gone from the beast.

Diadochi will calmly walk past the ogre groveling on the ground "I want you to know something... You friend dead... me kill him... he snack now." and Diadochi will try to bring the war hammer down on the ogre's head Attack: 10 Damage: 9
