Ardo looks at his companions and wonders what is going on. "Jonathon, keep an eye out for an ambush, Jess ask the other Bugbear has he seen or heard of something like this in the valley before?"
Out of Character: Falrun is that it? Are we just doomed now?
In Character: Falrun kneels there like a puppy waiting on milk but something still within him knows this isn't right.
Jonathon does not fall to his knees but he is still visibly stunned for a moment by her majesty and beauty. Being the man he was, even while resisting what his companions could not, he was still effected by her presence. Yet since he was not caught under her spell, so to speak, he was able to take notice of his kneeling companions.
A look of worry would appear on his face, as he with difficulty pulled his eyes away from the beauty before him and looked to the others. Moving to Hunter he would place a hand on his shoulder and try to shake his attention to him.
On such failure, and trying the others, he would turn to the goddess speak hoping to get her attention as he bows respectfully, "Great and beautiful goddess, I know not your name but I ask who are you and in what has happened to my companions?" Jonathon just hoped he would get a reply, he would feel foolish for trying to speak with one who would not or could not reply.
Hopefully he has also shown proper respect and wouldn't be smited for trying to speak with her.

Jess speaks to the bugbear but, based on the body language of the bugbear, it appears that he's not aware of what this is or what's going on. However, the bugbear's first instinct is to get he fellow bugbears out of this room.
Jonathon speaks to the image, but doesn't seem to get a response of any kind. In fact, the image doesn't seem to acknowledge him speaking to her or his presence, at all.
Those who are unaffected, notice that once the bugbear is able to get his brothers out from line of sight of the image, they seem to come back to their senses. Once Jess sees this happen, she begins pulling the rest of the party our of the room as well, imploring Ardo and Jonathon to help her.
Once Hunter, Drethen, and Delgar are also out of the room, they come back to their senses.
Jonathon would help, getting betwerlen his companions and tge image deciding to keep his attention away from who was on the throne. He was a bit confused as well as he sees his companions break free from their entrapment saying to no one in particular, "Is it an illusion, an enchantment?"
Taking a more steady stance, once everyone was freed and back to their senses, the storyteller decides to do something potentially foolish. He moves towards the figure and tries to touch her arm.

"Um, what, huh? Where am I? What happened?" Hunter is as confused as ever. Then he remembers his steps before the image of the woman took his steps away.
"This place is full of traps! We need to be more vigilant."
Out of Character: Would someone who already saved against the charm of the woman be able to enter the room and search without any further problems?
Jonathon approaches the image, gently touching it to see it it's real. As he does so, his hand passes through the image as it seems to shimmer or shake from the contact, or rather, the disruption that the contact made like a reflection in a pond.
At the same time that Jonathon does this, the 13 skeletons wearing the black and red robes that were kneeling around the room, seemingly enthralled by the image, rise to their feet and brandish rusted weapons that had been hidden by the robes. They seem almost appalled that somebody would dare touch and defile the image.
