A scene

The ogre had followed the wizard Ilias into the counting-house of a Mnesean iron mine, and he got the door shut just in time. He spoke a word against the planks. The ogre hit the door with its shoulder, then with both fists, then with a timber prop, and the door did not shift so much as a hair in its frame. But it was only an old pine door, and after a while the ogre stopped trying to push it open and started simply smashing through it. Ilias went looking for a window.
