The Kishi attacks Tyek: Attack: 20 Damage: 17; Attack: 11 Damage: 17
The Kishi slashes Tyekanik, but the cut doesn't even bleed. (THPs from Clarac's Inspiring Leader) The Huge-sized barbarian moves with surprising quickness, dodging out of the way of the demon's second attack before Khessa cuts it down with the demon-forged blade:
As you come around the throne, the cultist was in the process of opening a door when both of your attacks strike true.
Tyek moves up to the throne in just a few strides of his long legs. With his 15-ft reach, he reaches over Clarac's head and tries to hurl the cultist to the left (west) side of the room away from the door. If he succeeds, then he moves to that side of the room to block the cultist from escaping. Otherwise, he stays where he is at the throne. In either case, he roars in victory as he swings Annam's mighty greataxe.
Movement: Move 10-ft north to the throne before attempting to hurl the cultist away from the door. Bonus Action: Use Mighty Impel to hurl the cultist ~30-ft to the west side of the room. The cultist must succeed on a DC 22 STR saving throw to avoid the effect. Action: Two Reckless Attacks with Annam's Greataxe as his Elemental Cleaver (thunder) against the remaining cultist. Attack 1: 20, Damage: 30 (magical thunder) + 24 (force) = 54 (total) Attack 2: 37, Damage: 71 (magical thunder) + 27 (force) = 98 (total)
Because of Reckless Attack, all attacks against Tyek have advantage until the start of his next turn. But if the attacker is affected by Prot. from Evil, and Tyek is within 30-ft of Khessa, then it would still be a straight attack roll this round. (Disadvantage from Khessa's sacred idol cancels out Advantage on attacks because from Tyek's use of Reckless Attack.)
The cultist dies at your feet; the door he was opening was only partially opened.
The Golgari comes up, looking down at the cultist and then you see he is holding his head shaking it slightly before he turns and faces the group.
"You did something to me, didn't you? Something to do with magic so I would like you, listen and not attack you, correct?" He shrugs then nods his head.
"Doesn't matter anymore, as it also seems to clear my head of whatever was clouding it. I see more clearly now that my people are in danger from these dark beings that have usurped us from our own gods and pulled us into their war. I swear on my honor that I will do you no harm and will continue to be your guide. I will not fight my own people but help where I can to liberate them from this growing curse. What say you, do we have an accord?"

Vrox goes to the charmed Golgari (as he has done after every fight) to ensure that the dwarf is unharmed. Since Charm Person does not require concentration, he realizes that he may have lost track of how long it has been since he cast that spell. He answers the Golgari as kindly as he can: "Yes, you're right. That was me. I had to use some faerie magic on you so that you could listen to us. We meant you and the other Golgari no harm. As you can see, our fight is with the Nefarious Duo and their followers, and we had to take the fight to those who had invaded Uhubreen. We didn't want to have to kill a bunch of Golgari just to get into these halls, so I used magic to gain your trust. I hope that since then, our actions have shown that we're worth of that trust."

He looks to the group
While he talks, Vrox tries to maneuver the Golgari away from the door. He readily agrees to the proposal, "I cannot speak for Yôht and the Voltans, but I think that I can speak for Sir Sparhawk's band of heroes." He looks around at the others questioningly to ensure that no one objects before he agrees."Yes, we accept. We will do our best to keep you from harm, and we will not fight the Golgari as long as they do not attack us and do not impede us from ridding Uhubreen -- and the rest of Eosia -- of the Nefarious Duo's fiends and their committed followers and other gods who follow them in this insane war. Because, remember, it is a war they are waging, and you have now seen the vision of what they truly desire in the end." Vrox offers to shake the Golgari's hand to "seal the accord."
Vrox says, "Once this battle is over and the Golgari are free from the shackles of these fiends, it is my own wish for the Golgari to reach a truce with the other peoples of Eosia. Especially with the Voltans. Perhaps true friendship is too much to hope for in the short term, not for people with such a long history, but I believe that an alliance of mutual aid and defense would benefit all of you!"
Vrox encourages the Golgari to continue to stay toward the back of the group's marching order with him, explaining, "There may still be dangers ahead. We do not know how deep or how thoroughly the fiends and their servants have penetrated into Uhubreen's halls. Best to let the blessed warriors lead the way here."
[[OOC: I should have explained that that check was an attempt to maintain the goodwill, friendship, and help of the Golgari even after Vrox's Charm Person spell expires.]]
Khessa was about to respond to the Golgari, but hearing Vrox speak, she willingly lets the group's 'golden tongue' do his work — and she couldn't agree more with the terms of their continued collaboration!
The blonde arcane warrior finally smiles: "Very well! Even without fascinations involved, our friendship is the same as before, it seem — so let's go on!"
So the tall adventuress continues beyond the door.

Maynard comes around the left side of the throne, and fires on the cultist: Attack: 25 Damage: 15; Attack: 30 Damage: 15
Sparhawk and Yoht run to try and cut off the Cultist
Both of Maynard's bolts fly true and strike the cultist, and he is now severely wounded.

Round 2: Tyekanik
Seeing the last foe getting away:
Tyek moves up to the throne in just a few strides of his long legs. With his 15-ft reach, he reaches over Clarac's head and tries to hurl the cultist to the left (west) side of the room away from the door. If he succeeds, then he moves to that side of the room to block the cultist from escaping. Otherwise, he stays where he is at the throne.

Movement: Move 10-ft north to the throne before attempting to hurl the cultist away from the door.
Bonus Action: Use Mighty Impel to hurl the cultist ~30-ft to the west side of the room.
The cultist must succeed on a DC 22 STR saving throw to avoid the effect.
Action: Two Reckless Attacks with Annam's Greataxe as his Elemental Cleaver (thunder) against the remaining cultist.
Attack 1: 20, Damage: 30 (magical thunder) + 24 (force) = 54 (total)
Attack 2: 37, Damage: 71 (magical thunder) + 27 (force) = 98 (total)
Because of Reckless Attack, all attacks against Tyek have advantage until the start of his next turn.
But if the attacker is affected by Prot. from Evil, and Tyek is within 30-ft of Khessa, then it would still be a straight attack roll this round. (Disadvantage from Khessa's sacred idol cancels out Advantage on attacks because from Tyek's use of Reckless Attack.)
Round 2: Vrox
[[OOC: I'm assuming that Tyek just killed the cultist with those attacks.]]
Seeing the remaining cultist trying to flee, Vrox calls out, "If we take them alive, we may learn something..."
Too late! The Little Giant emphatically strikes down the cultist.
Vrox finishes the thought more quietly and a bit glumly, "...of value."
The cultist dies at your feet; the door he was opening was only partially opened.
The Golgari comes up, looking down at the cultist and then you see he is holding his head shaking it slightly before he turns and faces the group.
"You did something to me, didn't you? Something to do with magic so I would like you, listen and not attack you, correct?" He shrugs then nods his head.

Persuasion: 28 (or 28 if the Golgari is still charmed, or Vrox has advantage for any other reason).
While he talks, Vrox tries to maneuver the Golgari away from the door. He readily agrees to the proposal, "I cannot speak for Yôht and the Voltans, but I think that I can speak for Sir Sparhawk's band of heroes."
