Klin -- As you are considering the Tabaxi's request for help Varnyr comes up the steps slightly out of breath, "What was all that noise? Sounded like someone was trying to break in!" Before you can answer the same sensation the others felt down stairs washes over you. The song echos in your head you feel the urge to fight those around you.

OK! For those of you who failed the charisma check you are over come with the song and a feeling of violence. You begin singing rapidly and out of control. You MUSTuse your action to make a melee attack against the closest person to you. At the end of your turn you can repeat your charisma save (DC15) on a success you break free of the effect. You can move as normal but all PCs and NPCs in your mind are hostile so you can not move through their space. If you are under the affects of the spell and someone moves and would provoke and opportunity attack you must take your reaction to attack them. While singing you obviously can not use any abilities that have a verbal component.

K'Tulah looks up at Klin who is standing right next to him. Her eyes turn white as she starts singing at the same time as the others. As the words pass her lips she unexpectedly turns her fury on Klin as she grips a quarterstaff from her back and swings it hard with two hands at the monk's face.

Varnyr stumbles forward with her cane singing the song with white eyes. She grips her cane with an apparent hesitancy but unable to stop herself she swings at the Tabaxi.

Seeing himself surrounded by people singing madly with an aggressive glare Ludolf backs up in the northwestern corner of Crinkles chamber and takes a defensive stance. (Move one square north and then Dodge action)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Ludolf steps back, Pardot feels compelled to swing his staff at his friend, his face a mess of song, evil glares, and the expression of sorry.
Even though Ludolf moves up, around 'around the corner', he's still within range of Pardot I think. So then Pardot doesn't have to move (potentially provoking opportunity) to attack. @ Obe - nothing personal~ with your dodge it's best for me to attack you since I'll more likely miss. And I'd rather not hit anyone if possible ^^ attack at Ludolf with dis: Attack: 20 Damage: 6 cha save: 20
(Not clear on Ludolf's action - where does he even step back to? This assumes he does move away. If not, disregard this.) As Ludolf steps back, Triäsa draws her Shortsword and attacks him, singing wildly out of control. (Attack: 12, Damage: 6)
She then turns on Crinkle, striking out at her with her sword as well. (Attack: 18, Damage: 3)
"Pardot! Hey, snap out of it!" Daventry shouts, realizing that with him in the way, there's nothing she can do... at least not without trying something.
The lithe woman gives a quick, "Sorry, little guy..." and with a quick run up she attempts to run along the wall, using her footing (and a hand on top of the Halfling's head) and vault straight over him into the room itself.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ludolf takes cover and easily dodges Pardot's half hearted halfling attack. As Pardot's blow find nothing but air he continues to sing the curse.
Triäsa sings and swings her shortsword at Crinkle drawing blood from the old bird's shoulder. She flinches in pain but no sound other than the rhyme pass her lips. As the blow lands Triäsa's mind clears and her voice quiets as the blood drips from her blade. (Ludolf does not produce an AoE where he moves I will get you a new map as soon I can)
Seeing the chaos break out all around them Daventry tries to leap the possessed halfling but her foot can not quite find the proper grip on the wall and she is unable to get past. (You can still take an action if you'd like)
Gailby cowers next to her dad as she sees blood run down Auntie Crinkle's arm. She screams and starts sobbing. Her father looks to her but his eyes are not his own as he starts to sing the rhyme. With regret and sadness in his pale white eyes he raises his fist and strikes his young daughter.

Fembris screams at the melee. Not knowing what else to do see picks up a rock and flings it at Crinkle. "Uh... guys... this seems bad...."
Attack @Crinkle 5
Damage @Crinkle 1
Crinkle sings more wildly than any of you. Her words gain momentum as they echo down the hall. So engrossed in the singing she does not notice the blood flowing from the wound on shoulder. She does turn toward Triäsa and swings a fist at her. As the fist flies at your face you notice she is wearing a rather strange ring that looks like the head of a ram. It glows blue as it nears your face the light takes on the shape of a ram just as it nears your face.
Attack @Triäsa 9
Damage @Triäsa 11
On a hit a wave of force will push you back 5 feet as well.

Klin you are still up in your combat on the top floor.
As Ebder's fists land squarely on the little girls chin it draws a bit of blood from her lip. Ebder immediately stops singing, drops to his knees as he hugs his screaming and crying daughter.
By some miracle Fembris's rock manages to miss both Daventry and Pardot as it sails through the air and strikes Crinkle on the beak. Unfazed Crinkle continues to sing as she prepares herself to strike again.

"TRIÄSA!"Seeing Crinkle hit Triäsa with a supernatural force Ludolf moves to intercept any further attacks on the half-elven bard (Moving one square to the southeast) then using his mind over matter to shove Triäsa behind him, hopefully into safety (One square to the west). Then Ludolf takes a defensive stance, trying to get Crinkle's attention (Dodge action).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Having recovered her senses, Triäsa stops her frantic singing, though she looks a bit disturbed about the bloodied shortsword she holds. She throws it to the ground. Being pushed back, and with Ludolf stepping forward, she finds herself near the small room. She tried to take a quick look to see what is there, hoping to find anything that might be related to this curse. (Investigation: 17)
You turn and look carefully at the contents of the newly revealed room. It appears to a meager horde of flashy, shiny objects and trinkets there is a small stack of gold, an ember ring, a finely made dagger with jewels inset to a delicately carved hilt, there two potions which you can not readily identify in the chaos. Sitting along side the potions you see the strangest "book." It appears to be sort of clockwork tome. The cover is an orange metal with a mechanical appearing spine.

With Triäsa noting the book, she will try to quickly grab it and take a look at it. (I'm presuming that is an Action whenever we get to the next round.)

Klin's blows land solidly against the hapless Tabaxi. She falls to the ground blood and unconscious. Varnyr turns to her mindless rage at the monk and unleashes a pair of attacks.

The old elf snaps out of her trance and sees the unconscious form of K'Tulah on the ground lets out a short gasp. "Klin my god what have we done. Please stop!"
Downstairs Gailby and her father huddle against that wall. Crying and holding each other hoping the madness passes soon.
