Thrash will struggle hard to get to his feet with Both hands on his sword, using it almost as a walking stick. His eyes a pale yellow... "This is all their fault" He will say looking at the prone witches as me staggers towards them. "I say we finish them before they get the chance to get up!" The lizardfolk will say through gritted teeth. He will then walk towards the prone targets with the intent of killing them both while they are unconscious

**yeah tyriok and OTC are dead to me irl and now dead in the game, lol **

**also pretty racist to assume all old ladies are witches, lol**

As Thrash heads out into the next room which is a large hall with glazed amber walls and a black marble floor. The two surviving women are laying on the ground, looking worse for wear but still alive and conscious.  "What did you doo..?" one of them says to Thrash as he approaches.

Tisnip will hurry forward to intercept Thrash’s path, careful not to turn her back on the witches—she’s wary of this whole thing but not stupid. “They didn’t break the door that released that awful smoke, you did! Perhaps you should answer our questions before killing more people.”

"What questions? I answered your questions? You want them to wake up and kill us?" The lizardfolk will say enraged. "I am sorry this is the first time you have had to bleed for the team.. I am sure it is a shock to you" Thrash will say with his yellow eyes growing darker. "Up till now, it has been only me and Rajiira shedding all the blood while also carrying you all on our backs!' Thrash will say spitting out a large blob of blood out on to the floor. "I cannot help but notice who you chose to heal with your powers as well dwarf... Rajirra and I are on deaths door while you and Alustine practically look brand new... Well I am sick and tired of being used...." Thrash will try to push past Tisnip and make his way towards the witches, determined to slay them before they can stand.

"And perhaps I'm sick and tired of being left to trail after you and fix your mistakes! If you would wait for the rest of us instead of leaving those more vulnerable behind for me to protect, I could fight at your side!" Not wanting to let him past, Tisnip will drop her shield and attempt to grab onto Thrash before he can take aim. "Did I not remove that child's spirit that took you over and turned you into a quivering child yourself? Did I not carry and injured Rajiira to safety after we escaped that damned house so that she could get the care she needed?"

Grapple check! 13

"Out of my way Tisnip!" Thrash will growl, blood dripping down his body in such large quantities that his scales appear more crimson than obsidian.

12

Thrash tries to push past Tisnip, but is barely able to stand without using the sword as a crutch

(I will let Tisnip describe the grapple if she wants lol)

Alustine runs to the pair and helps Tisnip hold the lizardman down. (giving you advantage!) "Thrash, something happened when you touched that coffin - it looks like you are possessed again! You certainly aren't yourself. Stop fighting and let us help you!"

(Alustine will cast suggestion as he speaks that last sentence. DC13 WIS save.) 

 (Sorry Alustine, I didn't see that I missed your post prior where you were asking Thrash stuff about what happened, I will just pretend like Thrash was ignoring you and I totally didn't just fail to see it :D )

Wis save 4

Thrash will suddenly strop resisting. His battered and bloody body heaving up and down as he takes rapid deep breaths... his face full of anger.

(Omg I can't believe that 13 worked! I was cursing up and down that Thrash was gonna kick Tiz's butt back down to four health. lol)

Tisnip will oof a bit as Thrash stops struggling and becomes heavier weight. With Alustine's help she'll move him away from the door and the witches. "You lot stay right there! If you don't cross us we'll do our best to help you, too, but I will not hesitate to end you if you try anything. Rajiira, can you either keep an eye on them or come talk some sense into your barbarian?" To Thrash she will try again to get proper answers out of him. "What happened when you touched the coffin? Was it responsible for that voice that revived you?"

(my -4 to everything did not help and Tisnip OS actually stronger than Thrash. He was probably checking out your muscles at some point in time lol)

(So how does suggestion work?, they suggested I stop fighting, can they now suggest I tell them stuff with the same spell or would they have to cast another? Just wondering.... lol)

Thrash, his back still heaving up and down in anger will turn his bloodied head to Tisnip. "You finish killing those witches that blew open that door and I will tell you what happend" He will say as he coughs up blood and places his large scaled head clawed obsidian hands, struggling to have the strength to even keep his head up.

"Stop fighting and let us help you!"

**To me that would mean that for the duration (8hrs i think) you won't fight anyone, and you would be compliant in accepting any aid from your friends.  But they can't make you do whatever they want, unless they can somehow frame the request as if its them helping you with something**

**I'll also say Rajiira is helping hold Thrash down for the moment, until she pops back in to say otherwise**

(Thrash lays on the ground saying "oh no, this is terrible.. please stop... this is the worst.. honest... with a smile as rajiira pins him to the ground :D j/k not cannon :P )

One of the old women gets herself up, dusting off her clothes, she sees the other old woman still on the ground and moves to help her up.  On her way she sees the pile of ash and bone that was once her other companion, her face drops, "Noo.. Offalia.. what happened?" 

She turns to look at the group of you all struggling with each other on the ground. "You fools..."

"KILL HER! THEY BLEW OPEN THE DOOR WITH THEIR MAGIC TRYING TO GET IN"  Thrash will yell from the corner of the room being restrained by Rajiira "They heard me breaking through the door and got scared!" He will say before caughing up another spurt of blood.

Tisnip will give as stern a look as she can over to the witches. "You lot can just shut your traps if you don't have anything constructive to say! We've lost friends as well here." Then she'll turn to Thrash and gesture with her hammer to the room around them. "The door itself turned into that smoke when you broke it, Thrash! Look around, do you see bits of door anywhere? It was a trap and you didn't let me try anything to get it open before it triggered."

"If it was a trap it would have been triggered when we tried to push it open.. or any of the first 5 times I hit it!" Thrash will snarl. "They must have blasted the door as I was breaking it loose!" He will say pointing to the witches!

Alustine shakes his head. "Thrash, you are not yourself. Something has obviously possessed you - again. We will not be killing the others because you triggered a trap that nearly destroyed us all! Now do you want us to fix you up, or leave you weak and bleeding? Just keep your eyes on Rajiira while Tisnip looks after your wounds. Then we can talk with the 'witches' and see what they know of this place." 

(Yes, Alustine is maintaining concentration to keep Thrash somewhat under control =)
