I guess the trap triggering kills any chance for suprise attack by Talien and I as they come rushing out the door to investigate?
DM Note: Yes, the trap pretty much blew any chance of that. While I don't think the goblins would be expecting the party to be surrounding the door, I also don't think it would take a whole round for them to react to you. It will be more cinematic at this point.

Arxius draws back as the nets fall and watches as her friend is knocked down beneath them. "So much for the element of surprise," Arxius mutters, drawing her bow. She will move back from the door but keep it in her direct line of sight.
Arx is going to warily check the other door and the surrounding areas. Every stone. Every crevice. Everything.

You walk over the net and up to the western door (it takes up 10 sq ft). The door does not appear to be trapped, but you do find that it is locked. Picking the lock requires a DC 15 Dexterity check using thieves’ tools.
You look to your right (north) and see Rees flat on her stomach with her head facing you. Both of her legs and arms appear to be fouled up amidst a sea of old heavy rope. She seems to be in quite a tangled mess.
DM Note: Checking the door costs an action (Search Action). You still have 25' of movement and your Bonus Action (If you want to cast Hail of Thorns). Do you want to do anything else this turn?

Corkie is going to hold sacred flame. She will release it if the door opens and she sees a goblin.

Alten will make a melee attack with the scimitar. If the first goblin is alive after Corkie's sacred flame, he will move to it and attempt to finish it.
Attack: 15 Damage: 7
If the 1st goblin is dead, then he stays at the door, holding his attack until the next goblin comes thru the door.

The door set in the northern wall suddenly flies open revealing a goblin gnashing its pointy teeth. As soon as this happens Corkie releases her spell and a dazzling bright flame shoot towards the goblin.
The goblin goes wide eyed and ducks at the last moment as the radiant flame flies over its head. As the goblin ducks Alten swings his scimitar in a downward arc carving deep into the goblins back. The goblin yelps in pain as its blood spurts into the air.

After Alten slices up his back from releases a Fire Bolt Attack: 18 Damage: 8
Dm note: im on my phone plz make sure that is a +5 to hit... ugh lol. just cause it's a max damage roll if that firebolt strikes something flammable it does ignite if it's not on a person lol
{Sorvas makes a good point. Depending on G1's movement and intent, he could have moved past both of us, invoking AoO - if he was intent on going to check out the trap. You didn't give him an attack on his turn (before Alten) which implies that he might have been dashing to check out what the net caught.}

Grom hurls a molt of fire at the goblin standing just in front of the doorway, but it ducks once more and the bolt flies over its head landing somewhere in the back of the room and igniting a pile of greasy furs the goblins used to rest on.

May as well use the action to search the door, to make sure we don't get jumped from two directions.

Action to open door so no attack available SD.
But I could understand one of us not being able to attack if the door is in our way, but the other PC would.

{Personally, I would rule opening an unlocked door and going thru it as part part of the movement - assuming it was unlocked. But that's a DM call}

DM Note: The +5 was added :/
Edit: Added the underlined.
