[DECEPTION (DC10)] ''I'll do you one better - I'm one of the Absolute's chosen disciples.'' |
Success The Ogres will not become hostile Failure Prove that you're affiliated with the Absolute another way |
Before approaching the ogres, make sure to separate the party member who walks up to them, and have the rest of your party on standby on top of the roof incase you are forced to fight them.
The first thing you will have to do is convince the ogres to not kill you. You can pass this skill check by having someone with high Charisma, and a proficiency in Deception, Intimidation, and Persuasion, like Wyll, to talk to them. Doing so will give you better chances of succeeding.

[DECEPTION (DC10)] Flash your arm at him. ''There you are. You could see the brand, could you not?'' |
Success The Ogres will not become hostile Failure Force into fighting the Ogres |
[INTIMIDATION (DC10)] ''Do not test the Absolute's finest, ogre. You would not survive her Wrath'' |
If you failed the first check, you will have another chance to convince them by passing one of the two choices above. It is important to have someone with good Charisma to speak with them because if you fail this check, you will be forced into a difficult fight with the ogres and can no longer recruit them.
After convincing them, you can ask them to fight for you and negotiate a deal with them. Once you make a deal, one of the Ogres will give you Lump's War Horn which you can use to summon them in any battle.

''Make me an offer. Tempt me.'' | Dialogue Options | Dialogue Results |
[DECEPTION (DC10)] '''1000 - to be paid once the killing's done.'' |
Success The Ogres will help you in battle Failure You cannot recruit the Ogres |
[PERSUASION (DC20)] ''I'll pay you in the flesh of the fallen - you'll have your fill.'' |
|
''I'll give you 500 gold if I can call you into battle.'' |
After chatting with them for a bit, you will have the option to ask the ogres to fight for you instead of the gobbos. The best choice for this one would be Persuasion since you will not have to pay them anything to get Lump's War Horn. However, this has a high difficulty check of 20, and you can only have them help in battle once since they will be dissatisfied with the deal and leave.
The easier choice is Deception since it only has a difficult check of 10. After using Lump's War Horn in battle, the ogres will want you to pay them 1000 Gold, but you can deceive them again and call them into battle once more. Even so, the ogres will eventually catch on and become hostile if you keep deceiving them, so be prepared to kill them when they retaliate.
If you fail one of the skill checks, your only option is to pay them 500 gold if you want their help. You could also choose to disregard the deal entirely if you think paying this amount is too high, and they will not attack you for doing so.
Lump will give you his war horn if you successfully made a deal with him. When it is your turn in battle, head into your characters inventory and right click on Lump's War Horn. Then, choose the option ''Sound'' and it will summon the ogres to help you fight.
Additionally, it is possible to summon the ogres more than once because the war horn can be used in multiple battles. Although, keep in mind that the ogres will attack everyone, including you, if you don't have a deal with them.
