Alyssa would remain back to take her notes while the boys played with their bag of toys. A small smirk tugged at the corner of her lips when the pair of warriors blocked their path. Her eyes would occasionally glance back to the red glowing hallway (should she still be able to see it) and keeping watch behind them.
Ramious pulls the bag back and hands it back to Bugs, "Guess we're all lucky it didn't get melted." He grins. Then he regards the situation. He heads up to the statues. If he crawled through, does it look like the halberds are hinged and can slash down or does it all look pretty solid and fused? He tries to figure out the situation a bit better, and assess if crawling through will result in him getting chopped in two.
"Actually, give me the bag for a second." He takes the bag, and uses a javelin to push it through the gap and a few feet down the hall, then pulls it back again. Then, if nothing happens, he'll crawl through himself.

((Sooo tempting to raise the difficulty for Ramious because of wings and muscles!))
Warriors still did not attack (the bag). The blades continue to spark and hum but the statues remain statues - motionless and seemingly unaware. Ramious was the first one to risk and climbed under the crossed polearms.
Ramious stands back as Bernard and Leon try to crawl through ahead of him. Ramious puts an arm on Alyssa's shoulder and leans on her gently...smiling as he watches Leon having troubles.

Alyssa would lean in a little as well to whisper, “Should we help him?” She’d smirk. Rami did kind of set this ‘trap’. Bugs got through, but a Leon didn’t. She was trying not to giggle.
Ramious grins and says, "Oh I don't know, he's usually such a lean, mean, killing machine that it's sorta funny to watch him get stuck...I say we enjoy the opportunity."

Actually, it was not that funny: the moment Leon touched the blades, a spark went through his body, making him twitch (6 lightning damage) and stunned for a moment (a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become paralyzed while in contact. If you remain paralyzed you will continue take the damage at the start of each of turns).
(Bernard could see the picture from another side, where he successfully arrived)
Shocked but not to the paralysis Leon managed to pull himself through the tight space.
Now Ramious and Alyssa could try their luck - the space behind the warriors allowed to all four of you to stand without touching the guardians and even open the doors.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Alyssa would shift a little uncomfortably. Normally she was pretty confident with being nimble and making her way through things, but the stiffness in her body and aches in her muscles cautioned her otherwise. Much against her core stubbornness to prove herself all the time, the elf was quite thankful for the offer of help. She’d decide to follow Rami’s approach, laying on her back and pushing her upper half through first so she could grab hold of helping hands.
(Assuming Rami’s help negates her DA from her curse. Rolling straight d20)
Dex save: 8
(Woops. It’s a check. -1 on that = 21 for a Dex Check)
((Afaik, you are exactly right - advantage from help should negate disadvantage from the curse))
The double doors appeared to be untrapped. No matter how thoroughly you searched (there was not much room - literally - for a mistake) they still look innocent. But there was no point to stand in front of it either and you had to open it eventually.
Surprisingly, nobody was attacked. Istead, when the door came open, a rush of warm, fetid air greeted you. The room beyond is lit with a sanguine glow. On the wall opposite the door are tacked several human skins. Another lovely cat-o’-nine-tails hangs beside them.
Ramious looks left and right at the scene. Then he patiently waits for Leon to finish. He leans against the wall, and pulls out a dagger, using its point to dig some dirt out from under his finger nails...blowing the grime away occasionally. Once he's done that, he puts the dagger back and picks at nicks and bits on the axe, scratching at them, occasionally licking his fingers to spread the saliva on the blade to try and wash a bit of grime from its shiny surface. When he hears the last few words of Leon's ritual, he clears his through, and leans away from the wall, standing up straight and shrugging his backpack firmly over his shoulders.

"You okay Leon? Looked like you tensed up for a moment." Bernard asks.
Ramious looks at Alyssa, a less humored look on his face...and replaced with a "uh oh, now it's our turn" look.
He takes a big sigh and, laying on his wings so they don't puff up, he slides himself on his back through the tight space.

Emerging on the far side he stands up brushes himself off a bit. Then he moves forward to give Alyssa a hand in case she needs it.
