It was kinda implied that they were under her spell, like that elven guy in previous room, before the illusory door, so I dealt with them in 2 different ways:
1. On my first playthough I slaughtered them all. Stealthily moved all my companions to the high ground, and scum saved whenever someone of my team died.
2. On my second playthough I took a different approach. I was curious if you don't kill them, but kill Ethel instead, will her magical hold on them wane and will they be free? So I gave each of my companions potion of invisibility and moved them, one by one, to the end of the poisonous room. Never even touched them, and to my disappointment, after I went back to chat with that elven guy and that dwarf that was petrified, I checked the masked guys and they still were red... thinking outside of the box doesn't always reward you sadly. I hoped you could have a chat with them, well, maybe when the game is fully released, pretty please Larian?
