Question About Effects of Antimagic on Charm/Domination Spells?

[Aluvial]

I have a strange question that one of my players wants me to ask...

We recently had a situation where one of the PC's was Dominated by a Pit Fiend (Pit Fiend used his wish to save his own hide in battle by charming the PC barbarian who was hacking him to bits).

The party wizard put up an Antimagic Field to save the barbarian from chopping his fellow PC's to pieces defending his "master" and engulfed the barbarian in the effect.

This ended the compulsion for the time being.

The Pit Fiend through circumstance has grabbed the wizard with his tail, grappled him, and then moved him to the other side of the battle field, away from the barbarian and the effects of the Antimagic Field.

I know that the barbarian's charm is no longer being supressed.

Question; does the barbarian pick up again with his last order to defend his new master, or does he need to be recommanded to act (a move equivalent action I believe)?

IMO, the Pit Fiend would indeed need to re-state his orders. The only pseudo-argument I have on my side is in the Protection from Evil spell, which also suppresses domination attempts for the duration of the spell:

If the protection from evil effect ends before the effect granting mental control does, the would-be controller would then be able to mentally command the controlled creature.

The highlighted part implies, to me, that the controller has to make a mental effort to command the affected character.

Of course, it's interpretation.

I agree with Altamont Ravenard the pit fiend must re state his orders
I think the fiend only need speak with the Barb as a free action the spell are now in effect.
I hope the fool wiz are now dead je jeje
