Jahren looks back at the stone doors they travelled through. A stone bar sits in place, with a pin through both ends on the sides. From the other side it looks simple enough to open. From this side....these doors would require some big bashing.

Jahren looks to Chen and the newcomer. “Can either or you pop out those pins and lift that stone bar out by yourself? If so we can send you to the other side of this next door to try the same.”
Jahren also takes note of the thickness of the first door to gauge any dimension door attempts. (although gaseous form may suffice and be safer, assuming there is space around the edges of the door?)
There is enough of a gap for gas to seep through. You guys figure probably anybody in the group could pull the pins and lift the stone bar...but Chen and Sebastion may have an easier time with it, being so big and strapping. You figure you could probably blind teleport through the door pretty easily as well, unless there's something unexpected on the other side of course.
Sebastion looks around the room. Aside from fine details in the carvings on the walls, he doesn't notice anything else not already previously noticed.

"Let's not to make too much noises if it can be helped."Mirica said in somewhat apologetic tone to Fianna but it did seem the situation was worth a spell here.
Toc says to Mirica, “Very well. It’s likely dark on the other side, so it can’t be one of the dragon folk. You have 1 minute. Then I drop the spell.” He begins weaving magic a moment later and Mirica slowly fades into an insubstantial whisp. Toc smiles, “I’d prefer it’s Chen of course, most amusing to me that I cast it on him, but a blind scout isn’t too useful.”
Mirica slips through the cracks in the door. It’s dark here for sure. She can see the faint outline of the door she’s come through from the groups light, but it’s not enough to illuminate this room. In the darkness she sees it’s barred from this side as expected. She also sees this is only a short ten foot long hallway and then it meets another double stone door. It appears the same as the others. You have 9 rounds until Toc drops the spell.

The last Mirica's thought before she got wisp-erised was "how are we going to communicate" but she realized quickly enough that it did not matter.
There was no point in opening one door only to bump into another. If there is a way to get past the second door - a big enough crack - Mirica will do just that. And the next one (if it is the corridor again).
“Do the see like they normally would while gaseous?” Fianna asks, curiously. “No special gaseous sight? If carrying a light source when changed, would they be a glowing gas? Or would the flame go out?”
“Still and all, if there’s a need again I could make the jump myself, if the door needs no great strength to open. We don’t want our Toc all out of spells...”
Toc look to Fianna and grins, "My oh my, what a curious mind you have. You get no special sight while gaseous. And no, anything you have with you becomes gaseous and can't be used and doesn't function, so a light, while still lit, doesn't give off any light. If that makes sense."
Mirica, you slip through the next door. The next spot is a wide room that stretches to the right a few dozen feet. Three of the walls of this long room are coved with books, each individually chained in place on its shelf. A hearth is on the western wall, though appears not to have been used in some time. Two reading tables run down the long axis atop the thin velvet like carpet.
However, you are not alone here. There are four creatures. They have dark chitin shells across their insect like bodies. They stand six feet tall and resemble a giant upright beetle. Aside from their two legs, they have four arms that end in pinchers. Each of them is wielding a wicked looking trident. They are crouched around the room, trying to take some cover behind the reading tables, and are watching the doorway. One of them glances at the other, and another seems to vibrate a little bit. Because of their insectoid eyes, it's impossible to read their expressions, or if they've seen you.
8 rounds until Toc makes you solid. What do you do?
Ok, before I get overcreative: by Mirica's estimations, how fast can she open the door? And is there another exit from this room? (Oh, and can Mirica have any idea who those insectoids are? Arcana/Religion? )
More like one minute, Chen growls as he poises ready to smash the door down. He contemplates whether it would be quicker and easier to bash the door with his hammer or just charge it with his considerable bulk...
(i.e. I assume a hammer attack will be against the door's AC and wearing down the door's HP, whereas charging the door would be more like a STR/Athletics check vs the door's bar as DC. Chen's bear totem makes STR checks a more favourable option)

Mirica looks around at the creatures. She figures they're probably not from around here. Extra-planar...but beyond that...she's not sure. As for exits, there is another door out of the room, on the same wall as the main door.

Then before deciding anything, Mirica tries to get through the next door.
The plan:
If the room behind the next door is empty - Mirica risks it all, meaning once she is back to the corporeal state, she Shifts, casts Protection from Evil and Good on herself, opens that door, runs to the next - Dodge (if she gets to dodge, probably not), opens that one, then runs to the last.
If someone else is in there, then she waits for materialization in the insectoids room, prepared (ready) to shift (BA) and open only those two doors (to insectoids and the first one).
