Agh, sorry I'm so horribly slow.  I thought nothing was particularly waiting on me, so I let this slip a bit... since I'll do with Bree whatever works best for the others.<br/><br/>Ershin, not at all - I really enjoyed Samedi's tragic/gleeful turn as an agent of the big bad.  Like a duck to water, for sure!  :-)<br/><br/>As to the spork, clearly it is the Devil's tool, neither fork nor spoon but an unholy union of both.  So if schnookums is using it, clearly he's half-way to Hagan's side anyway.  Err, I mean Hunter is!  And between that, and Samedi's semi-eager turn, and Aleria, well... Bree can't hold the light all by herself!<br/><br/>Bree could indeed face a horrifying, instructive fate to persuade Hunter that "resistance is futile", if you wish.  I do think her inclination would be to make a swan-dive from the tower.  My other Sorceress character on Elliquiy has Feather Fall - that would have been an amusing escape.  Instant spell: quickly zap zap zap everyone on the way down, heheh.<br/><br/>But, for example, she could try and be prevented, showing that even a quick and clean death is not an option for Hunter.  Or I suppose she could try and succeed, alerting the baddies to the possibility and thus closing off such an escape to Hunter.  Hunter could be a bit sore about that, and be pushed along into Hagan's slimy embrace.<br/><br/>Obviously I'm assuming the other two would be inclined to go along already, for their various reasons, so it's mainly Hunter that needs convincin'.<br/><br/>Bree could also give in, if that would help Hunter make that switch, or at least appear to.  Perhaps Bree attempts to lie, pretending to give in, but some property of the room (or effect triggered by Hagan) points out the lie?  In that case she might be "made an example of"... or be sent off for proper re-education so that the next time they meet, she'll be quite honest to Hagan.  Leaving Hunter again with no apparent options but an honest (at least, honest at the time) surrender.<br/><br/>A few possibilities, and there are others of course!
