red_herring don't disagree with the SUPPORT link, but that other player was blocked in a completely different room in front of the stairs (the room with the cakes, where Fiona turns into a troll) & to the right of Shmek so this player would be able to clear the right side of the room. To me, the way this post reads, player is stuck on the altar, that's why I questioned not going out the side door again.
