The Wiz puffs his chest. "I am the strongest wizard my school had ever seen. I was actually barred from the arm-wrestling competition because I broke another wizard's arm. Allow me." He approaches the door, takes a deep breath, and sprints at it to bash in the door with his shoulder.
Alexia steps back after watching the Wiz nearly dislocate his shoulder running into the door. "I could try pulling it open with magic?"

"............anybody got any potatoes? We could drop a potato in each hole an' see which ones get viciously mauled by horrible monsters?"
The Wiz splatters against the door that is apparently made of immovable rods. He slides down it slowly, his ego crumpled as much as his shoulder. "That... is a good idea. Ugh."
Alexia looks back and forth. "Now which way should we go?"

"I can fly ahead with a light to clear the way... though, all this water might hamper all my fire based spells if I have to let loose," Ember chirped as he looked back and forth between the two choices. "Any guesses on what might be waiting for us?"
EMber flies ahead and looks both ways at the intersection. The air is very humid and there is a foot of cloudy water but that shouldn't do anything against fire spells except maybe bonfire?
To the left the passage has a sharp right turn at about 30 feet.
To the right there is a less sharp (45') turn to the left.

"Hmm. Number 9, perhaps you can help the Wiz? He is obviously about to open it himself, but we don't want you to fee left out!"
[If the Golem isnt enough, Grey will help him pull the door]
"Perhaps all the water in this room is about to go rushing out when we open the door? May want to grab on to something just in case!"
Grey will hold on to Number 9.
Grey and 9 are able to pull the door free with some effort and a small wave of water from the opening.
Ahead of you is a dark passage about 70 feet long that comes to a left/right intersection. The water has not changed depth and the air is still warm.

You get the feeling that both directions would lead to something interesting.

"Sounds good, Number 9, would you like to lead the way?" Grey points towards the right corridor.
9 looks at you blank faced.
You didn't really give him a command.
