Erel nodded. "Then it sounds to me like a good time to start a fight. There aren't that many gnolls left, after all." She put up her shield, and drew her heavy crossbow; no sense in engaging an enemy like that up close, if it wasn't absolutely necessary. She'd lead the way out, in search of the ogre, planning to snipe him from as far away as reasonable, most likely the second floor, as they could hold the entrances fairly easily, and have time to rain arrows and magic on their foes.
