Hearing the rules of the trial, Aris immediately looks at Alloy. They know they're gonna say something and it's no surprise that they did. "Oh boy... Alloy, no. Listen, let's think through this first before we sacrifice ourselves---whether through self-loathing or martyrdom---to whatever weird twisted soul-crushing corporate work they have in store for whoever we choose." They frown. "Wait. Did she ever say what would happen after we chose?" They look all around the room, yelling, "Hey, excuse me? Ma'am? Can I ask a clarifying question?"
Alloy shrugs. "Whoever is left presumably becomes a servant of Hell forevermore."
"Presumably. I don't think she told us. It could be anything from immediate, painless death, to an eternity spent as a servant of Sisyphus Inc., to a lolipop and a pat on the back and freedom. Hell, it could even mean a one-way ticket to Sofi's exact location. Let's at least ask first before we make assumptions." They lower their voice and grumble, "I feel like that's how they really get you in places like this; misplaced assumptions."
Alloy finally looks at Aris. "I hope you're right."
They pat Alloy on the back. "Attabo---Alloy. Attaalloy. Yeah." They grin and give Alloy two thumbs up.

She reappears, sighing. "Yes?"
"What exactly will happen when we choose? Is there some sort of punishment for the person chosen? Or for everyone but? Like, give me a better idea of what's at stake here."

*Can Aris pull everyone aside real quick for like a family huddle? This means without the other tiefling or Steph knowing what they're saying to everyone else.*

"No one in this family is useless. So its impossible to have a 'least valued member' because all of my family are valued." Aovin looks at the tiefling women for a moment,looking her up and down before he speaks again, "Were you left behind?"

*Yeah for sure!*
*Can Aris also roll insight on her? Specifically when she refused to give details just then*

If you wanna do a huddle, go ahead and the tiefling won't know what you say. Equally, feel free to go into a DM without me and hold the huddle there for extra secrecy 😁
*Too much work, imma just put it in spoilers and let you decide if you wanna take a peek or not*
Aris tries to get their siblings' attention, waving them over. They won't stop until everyone comes and huddles with them, pulling people over if they have to.
"Guys, I really don't think she's actually gonna do anything to the person she chooses," they whisper. "I think the hard part of the trial is the decision, so, let's just make it easy and choose someone quickly. Roll a dice, draw straws or something random and just stick with it."

7 Persuasion. 13 for disadvantage

Okay so she's not convinced by just that, but for every character that adds a supporting argument to that, Alloy can do a reroll
She raises one eyebrow at you
