Although inspired by the god of thieves in your attempt to escape, Kroruk's grip on you holds fast, and her attention turns to your back pack, jingling with coins.
Nicolas, seeing that the party stands to lose considerable profit should the backpack come into Kroruk's possession, attempts to shove the ogre away from Anakis and back through the door. Strength: 10
And Kroruk tries to resist being pushed. Strength: 12
No worries! It looks like you may be able to help her out when your turn comes up.
Meanwhile, Ash steps up behind Anakis. "Hey," he shouts at Kroruk, "let go of my friend!" He stows his spear and grabs hold of Anakis to help her break free from the ogre's grapple.
The halflings have stopped at the intersection, unsure of which way to go and seeing that their larger companions are having trouble with the ogre. The S's are the shrieking mushrooms inside of Kroruk's chamber and the big K is Kroruk herself. Anakis, you would be in one of the spaces in front of the door with Ash behind you offering to help you escape from being grappled. What do you do?
Aluzira attempts to remove Kroruks grip on Anakis by prying her hand open and shoving her back through the door shouting over the shrieks from the mushrooms, “Let her go!”
Overcome by your onslaught, Aluzira, Kroruk releases her grip on Anakis and is pushed back through the door five feet into the chamber. Is there anything else you'd like to do on your turn (movement, object interaction, bonus action)?
Tarek leaps forward and slams the door, bracing himself to hold it shut. "If I'm to live up to the example of my hero, Byron Strongheart," he cries out, "I should be able to keep her in there long enough for you all to get away. Run!"
Torrent detaches what looks like a bear trap from a chord hanging over his shoulder. He sets the trap in at an optimal location in front of the door, drives a spike attached to a chain into a chink in the stone floor, and stands behind it. "Hold 'er in there, Tarek," he says, "an' If she breaks loose, step aside an' I'll lure her inna this!"
Seeing that Aluzira has caught up with the halflings, Remacle shouts to her above the din, "Do you think that'll hold that monster, Miss Aluzira?" he asks looking at the three ways they could go. "And if it doesn't which direction should we all run?"
The door shudders as Kroruk tries to force it open. Strength: 24
The chain-spike breaks loose from the floor, and Kroruk looks around, seeing that she's surrounded, and let's out a mighty roar.
Nicolas, seeing that he's stuck between a wall and an angry ogre, circles around in the direction of the halflings and, performing some gestures and a magical incantation, brings sacred flame down on the ogre.
Looking up at the descending radiance, Kroruk tries to avoid the flames. Dexterity save: 5
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The flames burn Kroruk for 8 radiant damage.
Seeing that it looks like a fight to the death, Ash curses the ogre and circles around it to join Torrent and Nicolas. Then he strikes at Kroruk with his spear, attempting to pierce the ogre's hide. Attack: 8 Damage: 9
Anakis, you're in the bottom right corner of the hall with Tarek, with Ash, Torrent, and Nicolas over on the other side of Kroruk. The shriekers are still screaming in the chamber behind you. What do you do?
Edit: Sorry about the deleted post above. I was having trouble getting the dice to roll properly.
“I don’t know Mr. Remacle. Back the way we came might be the safest bet,” Aluzira says before spinning around in surprise watching as Kroruk breaks free, only to get momentarily getting caught in Torrents trap.

Anakis ducks in behind Tarek and through the doorway to try and split Kroruk's attention. Annoyed that the giant creature tried to crush her, she screams at the top of her voice, competing with the screeching mushrooms, as she casts a bolt of lightning that arcs from her hand and towards the creature.
Your spell hits either way, Anakis, but are you going back through the doorway into the chamber, in which case Kroruk can take an opportunity attack against you, or are you staying within 5 feet of Kroruk, in which case your attack has disadvantage but still hits (because I'll take both of your rolls, and 8 + 5 still hits)?

Anakis drops and rolls to pull herself free of Kroruk's hold with Ash's help (Acrobatics: 12).
Kroruk does her best to hold on to you with a large orange-taloned hand. Strength: 14
Aluzira, it's your turn. Anakis is still grappled by the ogre, and one of your daggers is still stuck in one of the mushrooms. What do you do?
Aluzira attempts to remove Kroruks grip on Anakis by prying her hand open and shoving her back through the door shouting over the shrieks from the mushrooms, “Let her go!”
Strength: 18
Kroruk tries to hold firm with her grasp despite the ferocity of your attack. Strength: 16
Overcome by your onslaught, Aluzira, Kroruk releases her grip on Anakis and is pushed back through the door five feet into the chamber. Is there anything else you'd like to do on your turn (movement, object interaction, bonus action)?
Having freed Anakis she turns to run shouting, “Anakis! the door!” And starts humming the mysterious tune to give her Bardic Inspiration just in case.
(OOC: I’m aware she’s leaving a dagger behind, but she doesn’t think it’s worth the risk of going in to get it.)

Tarek does his best to hold it shut. Strength: 7
The door flies open, and Tarek jumps aside, knocking Anakis clear of the doorway with him. "Oh my weak limbs!" he cries.
Kroruk squeezes through the door, looking incredulous. "Who that pushed me?" she says. "She strong!"
"Over here, ye great monster!" calls out Torrent from a few paces behind his hunting trap and hold his shield in front of him, ready for the impact.
Enraged at the challenge, Kroruk rushes at the druid, and lands a huge clawed foot directly on the plate that triggers the trap. Dexterity save: 3
A saw-toothed steel ring snaps shut on Kroruk's foot, doing 3 piercing damage, and the chain pulls taught, stopping her from moving forward.
She looks down at her bloodied foot and kicks angrily to free herself. Strength: 20
The chain-spike breaks loose from the floor, and Kroruk looks around, seeing that she's surrounded, and let's out a mighty roar.

Witch Bolt Attack: 70 Damage: 5Edit: accidentally added too much to that one!
Witch Bolt Attack: 18 Damage: 6
Your spell hits either way, Anakis, but are you going back through the doorway into the chamber, in which case Kroruk can take an opportunity attack against you, or are you staying within 5 feet of Kroruk, in which case your attack has disadvantage but still hits (because I'll take both of your rolls, and 8 + 5 still hits)?
(OOC - stay within 5ft I guess.)
Roger that!
Blue lightning penetrates Kroruk's hide armor, zapping her large form with arcing electricity, but she seems insensitive to the attack.
Behind you, through the door, you hear about half of the mushrooms cease their shrieking, but the rest continue on loudly.
Aluzira, it's your turn. The rest of your party is surrounding the ogre, locked in melee with her. What do you do?
