Yosben, as quickly as he can, follows after the others. "Gwen! *Huff* You must- *Huff* - be really- *Wheeze* - excited -*Huff* - about this. *Deeper breath* Maybe I shouldn't- *Huff*- talk..."
Drip. Drip. Drip. That hollow sound pierces the silence in this cave as water slowly falls from stalactites. Stale air fills your lungs as you take in the cave. A large, unworked stone column holds up the ceiling. Stout stairs leading up hug the column’s one side while a 5-foot high ledge that leads into darkness appears along the other. Further back, a second set of stairs leads up to a stone door carved with a skull. The ceiling here is 20-ft. high, and covered with stalactites.
OOC: So there are essentially two pathways, one that leads west up some stairs past a column, while the other leads to a staircase with a skull door at the northern far end of the room.
You pass across the room, the dripping of the water cut by both the sound of your footsteps and the incredibly loud scream of an earth genasi during a stealth mission. You see that the door in front of you is stone, along with a single handle on the side. A keyhole also lies on top of the handle. As you look at the skull itself inlaid upon the wall you notice a glimmer, as you see that there seems to be something shiny inside of the eyes of the door.
The eyes are set a bit taller than Yosben actually is, but with some lifting and jumping he sees inside. It appears that set into the eye holes are two tiny mirrors.
Yosben grabs the handle and pulls on the door! Except... it's locked. However, there is something strange. As he touches the door a jet black wave of energy shoots out from the door and smothers the stairway. Every person who is standing on the stairway (for Craben please speak honestly on whether or not you would be on the stairway) please give me a Constitution save as a wave of fatigue crashes into you like a falling rock.

Liches are undead mages. Radiant power should deal with a moajority of any undead we see. I have the knowledge I can do this.
Craben will repeat this to himself as he's following the mage shield at the ready in case anything goes down.
"Shit water. Why more water I have books here."

"Maybe we should go the path without the skull." He started trembling.
"Going with my instincts," Gwen says as everyone else reaches the top of the stairs, "Skull means bad, let's go the other way"
"The hero sought to save the world.
"If I keep trying, I'll be able to win," the hero thought.
But the harder the hero fought, the further the world seemed to tumble away.
Drowning in doubt, the hero could not even save themselves.
Hero, if you still believe in a brighter future, hold in your heart a thorn that can pierce all doubt."

"Thank you." Clay lets out a sigh of relief.
"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm taking the skull door. I want to see what's behind it." He begins walking toward the skull door.
"NO!" Clay screams. "DON'T DO IT!"
"Well okay then!" Gwen says smiling, trotting in Yosben's direction.

"C'mon Clay? What would it hurt? Who knows; maybe we should take the skull door. Maybe the other one's trapped?"
Be brave. You have to be brave. "OK! Let's do this!"
Yosben stopps, and inspects the strange gleam.

Gwen stands on her tip-toes, and whispers: "Yosben! Whad'ya see in there?"

"Hm. Be ready." Yosben opens the door, with a sudden, serious look.
"It's mirrors."
"Mirrors?" Clay asked
