Green pulled Purple to behind a pile of chests inside the room, covering his mouth so he didn't make a sound.

Walking by was Blue. Body slightly slumped forward, a bottle of awkward potion in one hand.

And blood on the other.

In fact, he was making a trail of blood as he walked, eyes milky white and more blood going down his mouth.

Green didn't want to know who's blood that was.

The hypnotized figure seemed to be working on repeat, walking to a puddle on blood and smearing his fist on it before tasting it.
He made a grossed out face and moved on to a fungi growing on the wall and tasting it too. Same grossed out face.

Purple poked Green to get his attention away from Blue, pointing at the farthest part of the corridor that they could see, there was a actual pile of brute bodies there.

Blue didn't go without a fight and he managed pretty well on his own but now he was looking for something.

Every once in a while, the blue stick figure would give a shaky step forward and sip at his potion before searching the area some more, going to the right.

The two hidden stick figures decided to slowly go the opposite direction.

Blue was almost out of sight when Purple tripped on a unlit Lantern on the floor.

The item fell over and rolled away noisily, Blue's steps came to a stop before getting louder and louder again.

Oh Green could kill Purple right there.

Green got up, grabbing his sword and getting ready to fight, Purple had to take reds sword for the time being.

Blue shuffled into view, looking at both of them with his dead stare. Purple felt a shiver down his spine.

─Blue... it's me... ─ Green spoke softly, looking at his friend in hope he could hear him from the abyss in his mind. ─ I know how it feels like... But I promise the pain will stop...

The blue stick figure stared for a moment, before lunging forward and tackling him to the floor.
He tried holding him down but Purple was quicker, kicking his side to get him off.

Blue rolled on the ground before getting back up, now focusing his anger on his attacker. He tackled Purple, holding him against a wall, hands on his neck.

The stick figure struggled against the inhuman strength, gasping for air.

The grip let go of him when the high pitched noise came back, forcing the blue stick figure to contort and cry, hiding his face and covering his ears at the painful high pitch.

Purple looked startled, staring at the hypnotized figure then to Green who had the broken tracking device in his hands.

Blue's eyes became less foggy but something kept control over him, and he started to contort, convulsing in place and them just wildly swinging his arms, knocking the device from green's hands. It slided on the floor far away from his reach.

When his head stopped ringing, Blue tried to tackle Green once more, but Purple jumped on his back, hugging around his neck to try knocking him out.

What issued was the blue stick figure hitting it's back on every single surface it could find, trying to get Purple off of him.

In the chaos, Blue's pouch that laid abandoned on the floor was kicked several feet away, and some of the contents just sprawled around it.

In middle of it, was a small pile of netherwart.
