If you are or have a good enough pickpocket, and you are playing alone, you can pickpocket the key for the hidden cell downstairs. This is what I do now because I have played the game multiple times. He sometimes knows I obtained the key and even though he doesn't go hostile he goes downstairs to stand guard with his goons. Then I sneak in and free Ardic. Then I don't have to fight if I don't feel like it.
