Such a sweet idea, sneak past a pair of ogres so... When we run away... Heavily wounded and low on spells... We can meet two, healthy and angry ogres on our escape.
Harvey shrugs and says “Be my guest, then.” He motions for Keeley to follow him, and she does. They and Butter sneak off to the side and disappear into the trees.
“I don’t think we should leave them alive,” says Guston as a giant boil pops, nearly alerting the ogres with its noise. “Not a fan of leaving our backs open to creatures bent on eating me.”
*Nanna gulps, remembering that in fact she has been tasked with assassinating Granny Wormwood... To save the life of another. These Ogres would kill her chiliren if given the chance. Nanna cuddles Vaga's arm and wipes away a tear on his bicep.*
I don't have to like the idea... But okay... I can remove them. Fireball?
Ignatius, getting tired and impatient at the party's hesitation and indecision, waits no further and casts Flaming Sphere on the two ogres! A roaring ball of fire erupts from his hands and darts towards them.......
The sphere wraps itself around the ogre, who yelps briefly, before he and his companion rush for the party, greatclubs waving in the air. The wounded one swings his greatclub at Fiora, and hits her in the arm. 9 damage. The other one raises his greatclub and brings it down on Vaga’s shoulder. 13 damage.
As they charge, the party sees two more ogres appear from within the cave. Each of them carries a number of crude, yet sharp javelins. They both begin to lob their javelins at the party. One bounces off of Fiora’s shield, but the other sinks into a weak point in her armor. 15 damage.
"Augh! Keeley! FInd someplace to hide! I can't stop every Javelin!"
*Fiora moves so that the closest ogre is between her and the javelin throwers. She will be careful to always keep an ogre between her and pointy missiles.*
"See what happens when you resort to violence!?" Vaga is angry at Igna for attacking on sight. He doesn't have time to think on much else, he needs to act. He needs to protect the team. Fi took two brutal hits and she needs his help!
Vaga rushes forward and attacks the other ogre which Fi is no facing so that they can draw the attention from one each while sheilding themselves partially from javelins using the ogres as meat cover. He channels his ki into a flurry of blows and attacks fiercely, ignoring the pain from the ogre's attack.
Fiora stabs at the ogre, but his hide armor is too thick for her blade to penetrate.
A glob of sticky webbing flies from Ignatius’ wand, catching the two greatclub wielding ogres in the web.
Anduin’s Fireball explodes with a loud boom, leaving the two ranged ogres little more than charred bacon, their bodies scorched beyond recognition.
Vaga: Attack: 12+7=19, 18+7=25
Vaga answers the greatclub’s Force with the force of his fists, as both strike against the ogre’s leg. The ogre’s muscles visibly quiver from the impact, and he falls down to one knee.
As soon as he can find a new opening, Vaga will strike again. He hears the howling of a crazed old woman running behind him but he remains focused on the ogre in front of him.
The two ogres swing at their respective foes once again. Fiora gets flung back by another club swing. 15 damage. Vaga takes a hard blow to the head. 22 damage. Vaga is feeling lightheaded, and Fiora is struggling to stay on her feet.
So greatly distraught is Anduin, that he/she swings and misses the ogre badly.
Vaga: Attack: 9+7=16 x2
Vaga leaps into the air and brings his fist across the ogre’s face, which dislodges its jaw, and sends it tumbling down to the ground, dead. That same fist streaks across and hits the other ogre, also breaking its jaw, though it is still standing.
Fiora: Attack: 19+8=27
Fiora’s sword stabs it in the knee at the same time, causing it to stumble and fall to the side, but it just barely catches itself, and the party can see a wild fear and fury in its eyes as it fights with all of its strength to stand.

...
Lets remove them...
Okay. I could cast sleep or hold person. We can then tie them up. Any other suggestions?

"Where is our Hag friend even finding all these Ogres to hire? Do they know how many have died working for her?"

*Nanna's face is wracked with despair and guilt as she looks at the charred remains of Granny Wormwoods brood. It soon turns to hhysterical concern.*
My babies!
*Nanna grabs her club from inside her cloak and begins running, raising the club to strike.*
No one picks on my little man you big bully! Waaaaaagh!
*Nanna attacks the Ogre facing Vaga.*
Kaled slices through flesh, and the ogre fighting Vaga howls in pain.
*Fiora presses the attack, aiming for the knees*
