OOC: Olaf is closer to the door than the ravine floor, so he will want to move the chest back inside and then come back out to fight. He'll use his bow from the height of the stairs. If Olaf can't carry/drag that chest back inside, he'll have to drop it where he is. He'll still use his bow from the top of the stairs rather than trying to push the people in front of him aside to get down to the ravine below. He won't fire directly into melee, though, he's not going to chance hitting one of his own people with a stray arrow, so he will pick one of the Knaves...the nearest un-engaged one.

He could easily drop the chest and kneel behind it for cover. It is approximately 2ft high and 3ft wide and plenty solid enough, after all.

It is still dark beyond the lantern/torch light, so you can't be sure exactly how many knaves there are.

That's what Olaf will do then! Drop chest, kneel, arm self with bow let loose arrows at the Knaves!

How far down is it to the ravine floor?

I'm guessing it'll be tough to get past the rest of the party ahead of me, but Dieter has heard the Ogre and it will be really tough to get him to go back inside (or play pack mule) until that vile creature is dead.

If I can't get past my comrades, my instinct would be to scramble down the slope so I can get at the Ogre faster...

The embankment is about 15ft high at the door. It should be possible, though perhaps risky, to scramble/slide down it.

But then again... Dieter possesses The Ring of Gambado does he not...?
