Zakon nods in agreement. “It would make sense that they would hide something important behind a magical door, so I’d like to investigate that myself,” he says.
"I've never myself wasted the energy using magic without a proper purpose," Kelvin replies, looking at the gnome."I agree the door seems our biggest priority."
This is the door west to the veranda correct?

"Aye, though I am no expert in magic me self, I agrees with the waysbothof your are thinking. My gut says there's something important behind them walls. I'll volunteer to go in first and take the brunt of whatever is waiting for us." Ruggero says as he tightens the grip on his battle axe and clenches his jaw.
"Aye, anything that limits our danger is good," Zakon says. He reflected for a moment on his fortune in finding companions. I've been so used to going solo that it's a bit strange to suddenly have so many people with varied skills, he thought. He'd let himself get too isolated, he supposed, though of course he'd had good reasons for doing so.
In the description you said doorway, not door, is this an open shimmery doorway, or a shimmery door? If it's the former Kelvin sticks mage hand through the gap, if the later he uses it to open the door. I'll put a description in when I know.

Kelvinsteps forward, doing his best not to show his unease with the situation. He traces a gesture in the air with his hand, and a ghostly replica, fingers and all, floats forward and takes an exploratory poke through the doorway.

The pit beneath the floor of the chamber and the charmed and trapped doorways are leading Viayato an increasing belief that whoever worshiped at this temple did not want unwelcome guests wandering about. She can only guess at why and none of the guesses that come to mind make her any more comfortable with their current surroundings though she does feel inexplicably better once the group gathers together once more. Her gaze flickering over the others, the elf nods in agreement with attempting to get through the magicked door first. Grateful Theointercedes with a clever suggestion before anyone can just go walking into whatever it is and watching as Kelvineyes it before tracing something in the air, a ghostly hand extending out of his own and drifting through the door. Handy folk to have around these lot are. Whatever is waiting for them in here, whatever these traps were meant to protect the elf feels a growing confidence in their ability to handle it. So long as they actually make it out of this chamber without injuring themselves.

Kelvin: The transparent hand passes through the door with no complications. Still, not a sure sign that solid objects will pass through as easily. Standing in front of the doorway, you can see shelves along the walls lined with scrolls as well as several writing desks coated in a layer of dust.
Well now there ARE strange developments... I came to Goyag to study elvin magicks, I couldn't have imagined a better opportunity. Kelvin thinks to himself as he peers in through the doorway, spying the scrolls and writing desks.
"Luck favors those who act," hesays, grinning slyly back at the rest of the party, before stepping through the doorway.

Zakon inhales sharply as Kelvin rashly steps through the doorway, shaking his head. Hasty fool, he thought. Even if the spectre hand passed through without incident, there could be more spells or traps. Which again tickles his curiosity - why so many traps and magics here in this deserted temple? Not to mention that having to explore all this other danger is keeping them from figuring out what happened to Vall - and who knows how much longer before his condition gets worse?
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kelvin: In your attempt to go through the doorway, you trigger the warding spell. You are blown back 5ft and take 4 damage. As you slide across the floor, you disturb some debris and discover an aged amulet with the starburst symbol. Must've been from one of the long-gone acolytes.

Zakon is referring to the west door on F5 that leads to the scriptorium. The east door on E10 that leads to the veranda has the arrow trap.

"Wait ! Maybe it can be disarmed or the Sorcerer can do that magical hand thing on the door while we are hopefully out of range."

Alright, Kelvin, what would you like to try to deal with the spell?

Theo flinches a bit. Thinking maybe the magic hand could have carried a solid object through the barrier before one of them goes through.
He readies himself for action.
Very true, but what am I but a cocksure young sorcerer? :)

Fair enough. So, anyone attempting to go through the door needs to make a general charisma check.
