Desira glanced around the corner and had a look at the blueish skins of them, and even when she had not met one of those herself she had listened to stories about them, they not only were stronger than a regular ogre, maybe Jack could match their strength while her spell lasted, but they were known to rely more upon their innate magic skills which she knew little of.<br/><br/>It would seem the collar would not protect the party beyond this point, was this as far as the lady of the sage would be allowed to reach, or would those creatures had known her and would let pass, anyway they wouldn't let less Cortia, as she was a completely different woman, even for an ogre. Then she had an idea, may seem crazy but if they didn't move forward, the ogres would come to them as the light Cortia was emitting was impossible not to see in the darkness of the passages.<br/><br/>If nobody else had any other plan, Desira would use her magic, as time was short to make use of a her disguise tools, to change herself into the sage mistress and try to earn them a safe passage through the creatures, although all she as baseline was her description through the diary, but it may prove worth a try as Desira was a good bluffer, plus humans must look alike to ogres, don't they....It was either that or fighting if they were to enter the tower.
