"Oh, no, my dear friend, they will not bother you anymore. I just had to protect myself, that's all." The first swarm - or, what was left of it - flew towards Leon, the second (singed by Ramious) did the same. The woman herself stood up and in a swift fluid motion slipped behind giant Ramious. "They are hurting me!" Her voice was the sadness itself with a few notes of helplessness and hope for defense. "Save, me, my brave warrior! I'm begging you!"
Bats 1 vs Leon: Attack: 9 Damage: 6
Bats 2 vs Leon: Attack: 16 Damage: 7
Leon - Alyssa - Bernard!
Vampire is on the opposite side of Ramious, Leon can reach her and attack (with AoO from bats, though) Leon, do you keep your action?
(Ramious will continue to attack the bats if allowed, since they're attacking his friends and he's not charmed by them, they're annoying and need to be smushed!)

Charmed doesn't actually change much. Look at the condition... charmed It says you cannot attack them, and they have advantage on social ability checks. They gain no control over you though, and it is unlikely even a high ability check is going to make you attack someone you have fought beside for the past however long we have been at this... ;
(Normal charm - sure, vampire's charm has some additional benefits: " The Charmed target regards the vampire as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. Although the target isn't under the vampire's control, it takes the vampire's requests or Actions in the most favorable way it can, and it is a willing target for the vampire's bit Attack".
Though, "protection" does not mean he has to attack others, of course. Ramious specializes on the other ways of disabling living beings around him. But it's up to him how to act, obviously. Right now he just a sad witness of an infighting between his old friends and a new friend, who is particularly dear to him and suffers so much!)
Persistent Leon run all the way to the sad Lady and plunged the trident into her body. Wave in Leon's head was roaring in happiness but the vampire kept her face: "Oh, why is he so mean to me! Why?! If no help will come I perish! All I can is to fight for my life!"
She waved her hand with the razor sharp claws in Leon's direction:
Alyssa's eyes would follow the woman cower behind their now charmed tiefling. Without wavering, A would pivot stepping forward once again. Blue hues had returned, but remained determined. Although the vampire resisted the assault on her mind, it was enough of a divination kiss to fuel Alyssa with her next spell. Keeping her smirk, she positions herself closer to Bernard to provide the wizard with clear line of sight of Leon's target behind Ramious.
Inhaling a renewed breath, the cleric begins to sing a bright hymn causing her hand to glow with radiant light. Then with a flick of her wrist, she releases a flash of light that streaks forward.

Bernard was surprised and then not surprised by the Ramious's reaction. He had a habit of being influenced. To be fair though, he was always up front in those situations so of course he's tested more than anyone else. Bernard shook his head, he hoped he didn't start squishing people... With that though he willed the bugs to raise him up and with a audible buzz the bugs brought him 10 feet into the air where he hovered. He then aimed his bow at the vampire. He marked her with his magic and took two shots.

(Every cleric in every game (me included) would tell you that hitting someone with Guiding Bolt always feels like a miracle - somehow that spell is very tricky to land. But when it does land - it's awesome!)
The vampire ducked behind the massive Ramious's and less big but still shielding enough Leon's body and the radiant arrow of pure light hit the wall behind it, for a brief moment underlining sharp features of the woman's pale face.
The same shield, though, did not protect her from Bernad's arrows: both left the marks on her flesh (that quickly disappeared, though) and the vampire moaned again: "Undeserving cruelty! Do you really want to hurt me so much? We do not have to fight, just stop and think about what you are doing! I offer here wholeheartedly my friendship!"
Bernard, DC 17 Wisdom saving throw be charmed by the vampire.

Ramious glanced around at the sudden chaos. In a big low voice of his enlarged form he put his hand out towards the woman, and a hand out towards Bugs and Leon, "Hey hey HEY. Stop fighting right now! You, no more stabbing!!" He looks to Leon. Then he looks at the woman, "And you, no more scratching, if those bats are yer friends, then call 'em off!" He looks at Alyssa, "Cut out the spells!! Bugs stop it, she just wants to talk!"
He reaches out and attempts to grab Leon and grapple him. 30
"They are our friends, my brave protector. And I can prove my friendly intentions to you!" The (much smaller now) bat swarms flew up to the corners again and the woman herself did ... the strange thing - she stepped back and then suddenly climbed the wall all the way up to the ceiling, where she sat like a giant spider, watching the room through the veil of long black hair hanging down .
Leon - Alyssa - Bernard!
The vampire is out of melee reach (except for Ramious), bats too. Bernard - need that Wisdom save.

Bug's save 10
Bug's levels his bow at the vampire and says, "You say friends but you mean thralls. I got you pegged fangs. But I'm not an unreasonable fellow. We're here for a Welm or the other weapon besides Wave. You give it up and my friend there and we leave."
Moves: moves 10 feet higher and hovers, now 20 ft off the ground
Ready Action: Shoot her with an arrow if she takes any action besides talking
Attack: 11 Damage: 8 + 4 for hunters mark + 1 force damage from my bugs
(20ft would be the ceiling - with levitation Bernard too can reach the woman in melee if he so wishes)
Bernard was not fooled for a second, but the woman did not pounce. She narrowed her eyes and in a cold tone noted: "And you call a robbery a "reasonable act". See, nobody's perfect. We are very much alike. I think I would keep both the weapon and the friend. After all, he is my friend too now."
Alyssa would cut out her spells for this round. Without taking her eyes off of the woman, she'd circle the room in a manner that if she could align herself with some bats and the Vampire now out in the open on the ceiling, she would. Eyes clouding over white once more, the divination wizard would take out her wand with a flourish, twirling her it in her fingers before grabbing a firm hold of it. She'd unleash the last of her lightning charges.
Attack: Prioritizing Safety of friends > Vampire > Bats Lightning Bolt Dex DC 15 for half lightning damage: 32 If I may, Special: Portent use 6 for her to fail. Wand break?: 9
Ramious shrugs to her, "Well, I mean, don't talk about me as if I'm not here. That's not nice. And, you seem fine and all, but I'm not stayin in this mountain. Tell you what, we'll talk to ..." (he points up to the ceiling) "... you know who, and negotiate you outta this place. Wouldn't that be nice?"
Then Alyssa lets a lightning bolt go, "Alyssa!!!"

"My knight, you can see for yourself they do not like me," the voice was still sad rather than angry, but Alyssa could probably hear some mocking in it (could be imagination, of course). Her spell definitely hit the vampire but the wound did not look mortal. (Portent accepted). The vampire sobbed "Look at this nasty burn. Would you take their horrible weapons? We can keep them right here in that coffin, so nobody gets hurt."

"Anything you can do about this situation?" Leon asks the weapon in his hand. He then lifts his other hand and sends 6 magical darts flashing up to hit the vampire...
"Would have thought the axe would have taught you something..." Leon mutters as he steps around Ramious. He strikes at the vampire...
