Vodin is wary of newcomers and blinks for a moment. He could have sworn he was traveling with other people but maybe it was his mind playing tricks on him. He still has an arrow knocked as he greets the newcomers with their unique entrances "I am Vodin and as long as none of you plan to stab me in the back... never mind I mean you welcome to join us as we are stuck in this labyrinth. Shall we try door 3"
The drow sighs. "Damn. I could've sworn I was getting closer to an exit. Well, seeing as it's either navigating this labyrinth or trying to sneak back through the mind flayer colony, I'm happy to join. The name's Arya."

Rahla Novistrix
Rahla looks around at the new people, intrigued. A drow, a hobgoblin, and some sort of rabbit person. An interesting lot, but they looked capable, and as all adventurers were taught: it’s dangerous to go alone.
She speaks in a wispy voice, as if gently falling snow, the blue flame in her palm flickering, casting shadows upon the corridors walls, illuminating the engraved door ahead. “I as well would have liked an exit, but it seems the strands of fate have pulled us together. My name is Rahla, priestess of Selune, and Mage of the Seasons.” The , they reached the door, and she stops, staring up at it “What do you suppose the tree is there for?” She studies the door, her eyes searching for any indication of information she could glean.
Notes
I’ll make a religion (?) check to try to glean what sort of significance the tree holds. Is it the symbol of a god or the representation of a mystical plane?
Rahla’s Religion check: 18

Rahla recalls that there are dozens of religions that worship trees, or have tree symbols. The tree symbol on the door looks like a willow which is the symbol for a few underworld or death gods.

Rahla looks at the door thinking. “Willow tree…willow tree” she mumbles to herself, before turning to the rest of the group “I don’t know if this will help, but Willow Trees like this one are often used to symbolize some gods of death. Anyone know how to find traps?”
Her hand glows with guiding energy, as she reaches out a hand to bestow Guidance on whoever steps forward to look for traps.
Notes
Rahla casts Guidance on the person searching for traps. They get a +1 to the check.

Arya steps up. "Ugh. I guess I'll do it." She readies an action to cast misty step in case a trap goes off, then tries to check for anything that seems off.

There is an octagonal room measuring about 60 feet by 40 feet. The North and South ends have a 10 foot stage with a short flight of stairs going down into a lower portion of the room. The lower portion is covered in mud and in the center there is what looks to be a large misshapen willow tree. Directly across from you there is a bronze door leading out.
"I don't need to be a druid to think that tree looks suspicious" Nibsays gripping his longsword ready to fight it if necessary.
Arya steps a few steps back, then sends her familiar to survey the tree from the air. "Yeah, I've read enough fiction to know that skeletons and zombies are going to start crawling out of that mud if we walk in."

The bat flies back to Arya. "It looks ok to me. Maybe keep your eyes open just in case." She waits for someone else to go first.

The corridor is 10 feet wide and after about 60 feet makes a slight turn to the right.
Before you is a bronze door with a tree motif.

Vodin will head in and give the tree a wide birth as he tries to open the bronze door on the other side.
