Have a melee attacker enable the Non-Lethal Attacks toggle, and attack Oskar to knock him out. This will immediately kill the three poltergeists. Don't actually kill Oskar, though, as his death causes Jannath to immediately kick the party out and prematurely end the quest.

If you can't knock Oskar out and must instead kill the poltergeists manually, be aware that they'll turn invisible. [[Volo's Ersatz Eye]] and other sources of [[See Invisibility (disambiguation)|See Invisibility]] can greatly help in this encounter. Otherwise, [[Faerie Fire]] and [[Spirit Guardians]] are incredibly helpful.

Once the poltergeists are dealt with, Jannath pleads with the party to help her. She needs discretion, which is why she sent the servants away. She notes that there appears to be something off about the atelier at the top floor and directs the party to investigate there.

However the Torch is acquired, bring it back to the atelier and equip it. Then, use it on the possessed portrait (if it's equipped as a torch, perform an off-hand melee attack) to free the spirit of [[Echo of a Lost Love|Kerri Evenfield]]. The ghost inside is enraged at the fact that Oskar trapped her, and wants revenge. Kerri can be Persuaded or Intimidated (DC 15) into backing down from killing Oskar. Otherwise, she'll attack the party with two Vengeful Souls and two Tormented Souls. Once you've done this, all the invisible Poltergeists throughout the house will immediately die.

If both Oskar and his marriage are saved, he'll be immensely grateful and offer to paint a portrait as a reward. He goes up to the atelier and starts painting whenever the party is ready. He also allows the title to be chosen by the party, which does not affect the price of the portrait if you decide to sell it. {{bug}}
