Balmaris, you don't remember much in scholarly works, however, there are certainly tales that aren't even a stretch to remember. In several old stories, the valiant hero would fight against an apparition only to have the ghost possess their body and do with it what they would like. Sometimes it would end with the violent spirit throwing the hero off a cliff to be dashed on the rocks below. Other times a priest could utter mystical words that caused tremendous pain to the ghost, ripping them from the body. Yet other times, a strong enough personality could just scare the ghost out of the host with a convincingly strong display. How much is real and how much is merely fairy tale, you don't know.
Gralwynn slowly grunts out "Girl... doll... angry...." through clenched teeth, followed with "Boy... doll... where... threaten..?" Each word forced and shakey.
Balmaris and Adric, you do both manage to escape out of the room without Rose taking over your bodies, which is happy news! With your newly found freedom from the room of dead children, are you heading to the newly discovered spiral staircase door or elsewhere?
Balmaris picks up the doll again and hands it toGralwynn "May this give you as much comfort in the afterlife as it did in real life....we shall attempt to find your soul peace."
“If we were to go along with this plan of knocking Gralwynn unconscious, how would you suppose we bring her back up? Because I gave all my healing to Balmaris.”

“That’s why I asked- The children- he seems harmless enough- Maybe- tell them to get out- hit the road, Jack- shoo” Creak makes a little sweeping hand motion.

Gralwynn has yet to let go of Finlan's face, using him to stand up, she says, "Wouldn't reccomend it." Her breath ragged from all this flailing about.

Creak is in the treasure hunter business, May he try to recall what he might know about ghosts with a History check?

You recall basically the same stories and legends that Balmaris did.
"I say we leave her here and go find this monster in the basement, perhaps that will resolve her issues..."

Creak leans over to Adric, “Yes- but if we- KO- lady- leave the ghosts- crazy enough to work. Creak, get ready to get the jump on him- eh?”
