This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The air takes on a sudden chill, the already limited heat in the space evaporating, sending chills down people's spines. A plume of cold air emerges from Olin's mouth. Olin shivers, the hairs on his neck standing up. The two children, hazy and insubstantial, fade into existing in the middle of the room. The small boy moves towards Olin and Mordekai, his free hand outreached, his face squished up in an unhappy frown. In a voice that wavers inconsistently and sounds as if it's reverberating around the room, the boy says, "That's my toy....don't break my toy...". He stops after a step though, standing, and watching Olin and Mordekai.
The girl doesn't say anything, but stands, looking sad to the point of misery, as she glances around at the party. Unlike what you met on the street that appeared substantial, and real, the children here appear semi-transparent, and colorless.
Meanwhile, in the other room Kane's mage hand flips open the chest. The lid swings back. Inside, a tattered bedsheet with blackish red stains is wrapped inside. A human femur, aged and brown sticks out from within the wrapping of sheets. It's clear there are more bones wrapped under the thin bedsheet, Kane noticing a few through a couple small gaps or tears in the sheeting. As he stares in morbid interest in his findings, a terrified looking, skeletally thin young woman, transparent and surrounded in an evil purple haze, flying in the air, bursts from the chest in a sudden rush, screaming in horrific combination of fear and anger as her grasping hands reach for his soul, her form passing through part of a table as she attacks.
Everyone with the children hear the horrific scream come from the other room across the hall where Kane is. The children's eyes open wide hearing the noise, the boy floating back to his sisters side where she puts her arm around him, the girl whispers in fear, "The nursemaid....."
Nursemaid init roll: 3
Kane, please roll init.
Everyone else roll init, but you're surprised so won't be able to act in the first round.

Olin coughs at the cold air in his mouth, momentarily panicked but coming back to himself quickly. "I'm sorry for touching your toy without asking." he whispers, voice hoarse. "We will protect you from the nursemaid... What is the nursemaid?"

Hearing "she's cursed" from the ghost of Rosavalda, Mordekai suspects the ghost of the Nursemaid isn't likely to be reasoned with. Perhaps a show of force might help things along.
Mordekai casts Eldritch Blast at the Nursemaid. Attack: 25 Damage: 5
"STOP! All we want is to help these poor, sweet children find peace!"
(Going to add a persuasion check mainly to hopefully kick the dice roller into action, but if that's pushing it in terms of actions within my 6-second window, feel free to disregard.)

Hearing the noises from the other room, Olin raises his shield and staff and follows his compatriots toward the sound. Seeing Kane limp on the floor Olin casts healing word, healing him for 7 and then swings at the Nursemaid. Attack: 9 Magical Damage: 9

Aga will rush into the room and, seeing the ghostly woman, will hesitate. "Oh my..." then, seeing Kane on the floor, will get a rush of urgency and will try to pierce the specter with her lance.
Mordekai rushes from the kids room across the hall into the room crowded with furniture. He spots Kane on the ground, with a spectral bone thin woman standing over his body, a look of horror locked on her face. She looks up as Mordekai enters, locking a stare of anger and fear at him. He summons magical energy to him, and releases it in a blast towards the woman, but the energy just misses her, slamming into a mirror and sending shards of broken glass across the floor.
Olin follows Mordekai, hot on his heals, and rushes past Mordekai on his way to confront the creature. He absently focuses a priestly prayer into healing energy which flows into Mordekai on the ground, while swinging his weapon into the creature. It passes through the creature, but leaves a glowing path, the thin ghastly woman shrieking in pain.
Aga also runs into the room, just after Olin, and charges through the furniture, stomping on discarded white sheets, and drives her lance into the spectral creature. The lance strikes through, Aga feeling her mental intent seems to reach out and harm the creature, more than the physical lance. The woman's anger swirls around the space and people feel heat flush against their faces.
Kane, your eyes blink open, it takes you a moment to get your bearings from your near-death experience. The air is overly warm around you, and hovering nearby is a the wretched evil spirit, her back to you as Olin attacks her.
