Fae, as you pass through the threshold, Thorn attempts to possess you, but you fend him off. Instead, he goes into Elyse, who is directly behind you and possesses her.
Hadrian, as you pass through, you are immediately possessed by Rose.
Elyse:
You are still the dominant persona, as Thorn is only a child that and is less interested in using your body to carry out his will and instead just doesn't want to be left alone. But still, you now find that everything is very scary and you don't like it when things go your way.
Hadrian:
You are still the dominant persona, as Rose is only a child that and is less interested in using your body to carry out her will and instead just doesn't want to be left alone. Still you now find that you enjoy being in charge and don't like being told what to do.

Whereas Elyse was previously confidently leading the way out of the room, she immediately stops and looks toward the rest of the group with fear in her eyes. She will inch closer to Fae and won't move any further until someone else does.
Up until this point, Elyse has been soft-spoken but confident, sounding sure of herself and calm. However, as soon as Hadrian says this, she exclaims "No! We have to go to the basement! There is something evil here and we need to put an end to it." She continues to clutch Fae's hand.
“Who made you the boss?!” Hadrian exclaims. “You don’t know more than me.“ He stands unmoved, and unfolds his crossed arms to instead place his hands defiantly on his hips.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

"I'm with Hadrian. There's no baby here to save. If there was, they're as dead as these children. We should go. Maybe the Burgomeister's house has some clues?"
Hadrian and Elyse, both of you feel incredibly upset at the thought of leaving the Death House. It appears that the children do not want to leave their home.

"I'm sorry Fae, but the children are dead. I don't think there's anything we can do to help them. Hadrian's made a pretty clear case for us leaving the house. Maybe there are clues to ending all of this elsewhere, but we aren't equipped for a house full of ghosts."Phanuel is clearly saddened about it, but from what he's seen and heard they don't have options.
"No! No, no, no!" Elyse shouts as she begins to stomp her boots. She then takes a deep breath and more calmly explains "We can't leave. The children told us there was a monster here and I believe them about that even if they misled us about some other things. They are just scared, and they don't deserve to continue to exist like this. Maybe we can kill the monster that is likely in the basement and free the children from their fear."
(OOC: Saying no to Phanuel, obviously. She's still holding on to Fae and we can say she took her breath while Fae was talking.)
“I didn’t say anything about leaving! I don’t want to leave. We still have things to do here. We should do my plan, because it’s the best!” Hadrian argues.
“I think we should go into the basement. That’s my plan, because I had the idea first.” Hadrian speaks as if he has the final say in the matter.
(That was an attack, but Perception is no longer needed)
Fae, Elyse as the two of you lead the way out, the children suddenly start crying. "NOOOOOOO! Don't leave us here alone! Come back!"
Please make Charisma saving throws

Fae does not have a problem with Elyse coming closer. She grabs the tiefling's hand. "Let's gooooo!" she calls, tugging Elyse along.

Hadrian pauses. “Where did they go? I don’t like this one bit. Come on everyone, we’re leaving.”
Hadrian orders that everyone immediately leaves the house, arms crossed, tapping his foot while he waits.

Fae frowns. "But what about helping the kids?"

"We can at least put them to rest," Fae says stubbornly, eyes starting to widen.

Phanuel blinks and the immediate turn around on Hadrian's part. He looks between the three of them and sighs. "Alright, so down the stairs then?"
