All right i did the first fight in the gladiator arena and the ogre says he will come back when it is time for the next fight.... I have been waiting a very long time... a full hour in real time... i cant sleep to regain spells and speed up the process, i have reloaded and done this twice now, thinking that it was a bug... it appears they have forgotten about me... how do i get out??

ok nevermind the top door which was previously locked now becomes unlocked and you can speak to the prisoners above, thus moving the story forward.
