Froskan thanks Reverie for the assistance standing as gets his breath back, then follows her out of the room. As he does, he starts to think back tot he events just before exiting shadowfell. A from comes over his face as he realizes some oddities. He looks around at the others, but is unsure yet if he wants to bring it up in front of Theo or nayone else outside of their party.
The warning from the glaive feels muffled, like it is far away. But the message is clear: Isk does not want to go in that next room.
Given Isk's twitching and sweating, play up the paranoia, but not so over the top that the rest of the party will attack you. :-)

Isk looks to the group and swallows hard, forcing a smile, "I think I can make it back to our room, really. I've had my fill of the care of strangers." He turns to Theo, "Thank you for the kind offer, but if rather feel the sheets of my own bed tonight."
After he says this, he flexes his hand and the familiar sound of hissing voices heralds his glaive's arrival, which he uses to help support his went as he begins to walk away.
Theo (as Isk makes his initial steps to go the other way): "I would be a poor host if I let you walk away in your current state. I insist that you join me in this room. Your group will be cared for, your glory exalted, and there will be much feasting."

Nope.
No more checks, only actions from now on (talking or walking).

With a hint of aggitation that thinly hides concern (or is it fear?), Isk says, "No, no. That is ok, but thank you, Theo." He will continue walking towards the exit.
Reverie glances at Jack frowning ever more. Then she silently replies back to him with that message spell. ‘That’s what I could think about for now. Isk doesn’t want to go to the room and Theo’s action is very suspicious. I think the way we spoke about the crystal to the sages might have delivered to him... maybe.’
Then she looks at Iskander for a moment before she looks back at Theo, stopping her steps. “If my friend is eager to go back to our place, then I think your kind offer can be the poison for them,” she says, “I suggest we should all go and may tell you a story of what we have gone through. If you please excuse us, we should go back to our place. Now.”

“I agree with Reverie. He’s obviously sick. If he stays here, it could stress him and make him worse, correct? So we must be leaving now. Like, Now, now.” Jack says that last bit facing Froskan and Trim, still gripping the handle of his blade.
Cheerfully: "You mustn't leave. Can't start the feast until your group is in the next room." He steps forward and puts a hand on Reverie to restrain her.
At his touch, Reverie is overwhelmed by a surge of revulsion and rage flooding from her new scimitar. Without conscious thought, she draws the scimitar and hacks at Theo's arm.
Theo lets go, and takes a step back. There is a cut halfway through his upper arm, but no blood. Theo's smile is unwavering.

Reverie prepares her scimitars, realizing something is not right. When Jack rushes to her side, she glances at him briefly before gazing back at Theo. "I felt rage or a warning from this," she holds up her berserker scimitar a bit, telling her friends what she has, "Maybe you are right. We shouldn't forget that we have enemies around us since we became a hero—" Then she pauses, "He said, tell me about your heroic feats..." Another pause, then she looks back at her friends. "We need to get out of this place, Jack, immediately."

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Jack is urging everyone to head out the exit, Trim heads back to punch Theo. Nothing much happens. Theo is still smiling goofily.
Attack: 12 Damage: 11
Theo reaches out with his other arm, which becomes a massive barbed tentacle. It barely misses Trim, striking the ground and (easily) gouging the stone floor like it was peanut butter.
Theo is gone. The tentacle reaches back to the other room that "Theo" was trying to lead you into. There are more tentacles coming out. There something approaching the doorway of that room. Can't see it clearly yet, but it is big.

(Currently, something that can eat a hill giant like an appetizer is coming from the other room, and Trim is standing there trying to have a debate with it.)

Reverie curses under her breathe, readying herself with her scimitars. "I knew something isn't right," then she looks back at Froskan and Iskander, "you two would be all right?"

Reverie was at first thinking leaving this place immediately was the wisest course.
But after seeing Trim being attacked, she starts getting a bloodlust from her magic scimitar. It might be possible to snap her out of it, if she is taken out of the combat situation quickly. Otherwise, she might get caught up in fighting, even if it gets the entire party killed.

Jack looks at Reverie back. He, too, feels suspicious about Theo. He grips his sword’s handle as he sends Reverie a Message.
“Ye think he’s suspicious? Maybe he knows about the crystal, or he’s another Doppelgänger?” (Reverie May reply back silently.)

“Ok, that’s just creepy.” Jack draws his Moonblade, and rushes to Reverie’s side. “Are ye alright?”
”He might be a Doppelgänger, like that last time. That feast is obviously a trap. We need to leave everyone.”
