The halfling looked Sythm over. "Let me guess... archer?" He shook his head. "No ranged weapons have appeared yet, I can imagine that's pretty frustrating." Rubbing his chin, he added, "Hopefully it would come with a fair amount of ammo when it did show."
Sythm nods. "I can get up close. I've had my training with face-to-face combat as well, but I prefer ranged attacks. Everyone can swing a piece of metal until it hits something, but ending a creature's life before they even know you exist, only to see their teammates nervously trying to pinpoint the place from which the shot came... and that's if they even notice one of their friends is down! I guess throwing weapons also works some times, but not all weapons are effective at that."
Gogon just nodded. "I suggest," he said with a smile, "that unless we're all dying for a break, whenever we see a room with an image of a bow on it, we jump at it!"
Chan shrugs “None of the items are particularly useful for me either. Though it would be better to take the wand in case it’s needed than to pass entirely.”
Sythm studies the halfling. "I appreciate it, but so far I didn't see the actual weapon from the door as the reward. I don't think it is that accurate. Anyway, it seems like none of us wants anything in particular. So it's either the wand or..." He looks at Gogon. "Perhaps you want something?"
“Most of my magic would not be strengthened by the other wand. Magic Missiles are usable at least.” Chan says, as he picks up the wand to get a feel for it’s weight.
As Chan picks up the wand, the rest of the pillars sink back down into the ground and three doors reveal themselves to the group. The voice booms out again "You have earned your test."
37 ; 6
The door on the left has an image of a crossbow that is loaded and has a faint glow behind it. The door on the right has an ordinary rapier engraved into it and it is not glowing at all. However, the door in the middle contains a golden four-pointed star that is emitting a brilliance that matches or even surpasses that of the first door you had entered (on the first run).
Doors (Left to Right): Faint Glow Level Up No Glow
Yuno points to the star door with her dagger and says, "Obviously the star one. Have you seen any other star doors?" She then turns to the party and says, "So what you say? Ready to kill something big and scary?"
"Personally, I want the crossbow. However, none of the doors with a weapon on them had the actual weapons they described, so I doubt it'll have it either. Also, I wonder about the rewards we'll get if we complete one of the normal doors - if it's more than one weapon it could be worth it. That said, we're in a pretty good condition, aren't we? At the very least, we're all in good shape after resting back then. And death isn't a thing to worry about here so... I guess I'm for all options, therefore I am also against all. You three decide, and I will be tie-breaker in case you vote a different one each. Just tell me so I can sneak in as before."
Gogon cocks an eyebrow. "Hmm. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks brighter than even the dragon door was. I'm game, but we'd better be on our toes."
"Well," He says addressing Chan, "It seems like the other two are on about going into the shiny door. So, unless you have an objection, should we go in?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Sythm steps into the open room, the familiar stone walls surrounding him, he has but a moment as the rest of the party is teleported in after him and surveying their surroundings, they see that there are two goblins along with two worgs standing near the center of the room. After a short exchange in Goblin, the four ready themselves for combat. You also notice a clattering sound as a goblin in the corner that appeared to have been trying to hide steps out of the dim light to retrieve his dropped scimitar.

Gogon maneuvered next to Chan to execute their strategy, and grabbed the wand from his hand.
Concentrating, he fired off a volley of bolts of force; they flew from the wand, each streaking toward their intended target!
START: Maneuver to S-13 FREE: Grab the item (the Wand of Magic Missiles) to use it ACTION: Cast Magic Missile with the wand and expend 6 charges for 8 darts, targeting three darts to G1, three to G2 and two to G4 - Damage - G1: 6, G2: 9, G4: 5
Gogon will leave the wand (with one charge left) in his hand, in case anyone else wants to grab it.
Yuno agrees, "Yeah. Where's all the cool shiny stuff?"

Yuno says, "Hey as long as I get to kill things, I'm a happy girl. Sure, let's do that next time. "
Chan shrugs “None of the items are particularly useful for me either. Though it would be better to take the wand in case it’s needed than to pass entirely.”

“Our test eh? Does that mean that the middle door is the test? Or all are tests?” Chan asks the group.

(( Yes, Gogon is voting for the star door. ))
