Ramious stops and stares, his mind ticking along slowly, then "Uh...oh, you think it's not us. Ha. Uh, ok...the creature..under that mountain...you mean the dragon? Ug...was it white? Or black? It was under the water like, the whole time....I can't remember...I'm going to go with black. Was it black? Besides, look, it's me, I got my axe? See?"

"Maybe he means the one that looked like rock, and nearly killed us all." Leon points out. "Remember the one, with all of those ropes it kept sending out to grab us... That one was much more of a fight than the dragon ended up being... I think it was gray, the rock-creature, not the dragon, which I think was black, but, as you said, it was under water much of the time so hard to know for sure..."
Bernard release his hand from the short sword. "Okay, okay. Its you two. Just wasn't sure if we went to some wierd plane or something but I'm convinced it was to waste our time."
Probably it was a waste of time or the local transportation system - after all, id did look as that part of the room was constantly in use.
Now you were left with too doors. The one to the north (barred) and a double door in the center (sealed with a golden seal, that was warning readers about an imminent death)
Alyssa could only bring herself to shrug once again before nodding. It was the door she had thought they were opening last time but got confused along the way. Which ever door they prefered, she was fine with.
Bernard will dantily send some bugs over to try and push the doors open as well. Picture several spiders spinning a thing web rope to the bottom of the door and then trying to pull.
Ramious sighs when the bugs fail to move the door, "Alright, alright, alright." He stands up and waves to the group, "Ok, back up in to that hallway a bit...I wouldn't want to take you all with me..." He glances at the seal. He seems to pause for a moment, "Hey...a bit of that extra guidance might be nice about now..." he glances back at the group, waiting to see if anyone gives him a bit of guidance, ...and to make sure they get out of the way. Then with one more sigh, he tries to open the door.

Bernard did not expect the bugs to open the door and did it more for the levity but Ramious was right, it was time to get moving. Trusting in his capabilities, he followed instructions and moved back. He crouched a little taking a prepared stance to dodge anything that might come flying through the door.
Alyssa would close her eyes. She’d inhale a breath through her nose. Shifting her weight, she’d eventually step forward letting out her breath, not looking up from her hands. The elf would begin to hum a barely audible elven hymn. She’d touch Ramious’ shoulder only briefly to gift the magic he requested. “Push. Don’t pull.” She’d attempt to jest some guidance as she stepped out of the way, standing to the right of the doors.

And Ramious pushed with all his might, breaking the golden seal and stepping on the threshold. The precaution of others proved to be justified: the tiefling was greeted by a volley of heavy crossbow bolts: two pierced each door to the left and right of him, one went over and, struck the stone wall behind and flopped to the floor, and two we aiming at intruder's chest:
vs Ramious: Attack1: 16 Damage: 10
Attack2: 21 Damage: 7
There was no second barrage though, and nothing rushed out of the doors right away. Once Ramious was able to look and breath again he could see a huge room beyond the doors - a pillared porch overlooking a chamber that contains a model of a city. Arrayed on the porch are numerous clay statues of guards holding bronze-headed spears. The face of each statue is different, as if they were modeled from different subjects. Next to each statue is a small, glazed clay pot. The walls are decorated with brightly colored frescoes depicting a royal court in ceremonial garb and a king arrayed with his armies.
There is a chill in the chamber beyond, like that of a brisk winter morning. In the center of the room is an enormous, tarnished copper raft, crafted to resemble a dragon, bearing a copper coffin. The raft is afloat on a sea of silvery-white, flowing metal, fed by several rivers that trail along the floor of the room. The flowing liquid appears to be cool.
Between the waterways, stepped pyramid-temples rise skyward in mute paean to the gods of ancient language you see everywhere here. Three of the pyramids appear to have tops that can be removed. In the rest of the area, a royal complex sprawls across verdant fields, and courtyards and ringed marketplaces dot the miniature countryside. There is a blight on this spectacle, however, for several of the models have been smashed and melted.
(Please, in addition to action keep mentioning your position, should anyone go inside)

Ramious winces, as he pulls two bolts out of his body and tosses them to one side. (I believe I am owed an addition 1d10 damage for that critical hit....it appears it only rolled 1d10...)
"OUCH." He holds his side where blood dribbles between his fingers. He takes a moment to re-focus himself. (Second Wind : 9 HP's gained). Actually, he'll drink a potion too. He chugs a healing potion : 7.
Looking inside his eyes widen. "Woah, check out that flowing metal. That stuff looks cool."
He pokes his head into the room without stepping inside, looking left and right for more crossbow traps. Then he shrugs and, making sure the group is still back in the hallway behind him...takes a step into the room, staying on his toes and glancing about. If nothing happens, he'll stick the axe behind the clay statue on his left, and tip it forward until it falls to the ground, hoping it just shatters into bits of clay, but expecting it to get all uppity with him.
((All clear - there is no modifiers and "14" came from two rolls for the crit))
Of course "something happened" - how could it not? The moment Ramious stepped inside the room, a wall of fire sprung up in the doorway. The flame licked the wall across the hall dividing the rest of the group with Alyssa on one side, and Leon with Bernard on the other. Where before stood the door now roared fire.
((Did not find the rule about grid adjoined the squares right in front of the wall - are they affected? May be not, then you are just divided))

"Always causing trouble... See you on the other side." Bernard says and jumps through the flaming wall and moving 15 feet from any section. He will then pull out a bow from his quiver.
Hoping this the side that does no damage crossing through otherwise here is a dex save: 24

"Um... what was color was that creature we fought under that mountain?" Bernard asks. His hand on his shortsword.

"I'd say not to open the southern door..." Leon says with a nod to the door. "Which one do you wish to try next?" He asks the others.
Alyssa would shrug. Seemed to be the same Rami and Leon. Probably was a waste of time.

Leon will try to open the sealed door with his mage hand.

The doors seem to be too heavy, at least magic hands unable to open it. Northern door is also barred, though bar seems to be easy to remove.

Leon nods and steps back into the hall, ready to come to Ramious's aid if needed though.
