"I have a crazy idea," Harley starts saying as she positions herself near the door. "What if we try not fighting the magical flying swords? Slam the door shut and try the next one, since I don't think we're going to find any fully intact vials of cure in here anyway?" { The action is readying - If, after everyone else has had a turn, any of the swords look like they are about to start moving closer (and no one else in the party seems to strongly object) Harley will slam the door shut (from where she stands rather than pressed against the door. I'm not sure what material the door looks like it's made of or how thick it is but what I mean is just that if it's wooden, better not stand too close to where the pointy bits might poke through :) }
"Yes, do it!!!" Such a simply solution somehow did not occur to Katia and she honestly admired Harley's quick thinking. "In the worst case we will know where we did not look yet and on the way back will check that room again, knowing what to expect."
"Hidin' behind doors be somethin' o' a cheeky plan... shame we couldn't hurl a cloud of acid in there first n be shuttin them in there with it..." Daelnar steps back from teh door and moves down the the door with the Red X and listens for any further sounds coming from behind it. "Are we walkin' past this and tryin' them two at the end first?"
"I say yes? First the quiet doors and if vials are not there - the noisy one."What to do if a danger is hiding behind every door Katia did not decide yet. May be going all the way to the end and the return opening everything again one by one? At least with advantage of knowing what's behind.

"That they did not bother to mark?!” Katia sent some of her weak magic at the orange sword. Her blast heats the metal to a soft orange, causing the weapon to hesitate.
Daelnar sees the swords rise and shakes his head, "We could do with some of these..." He makes a few quick steps forward, launching two quick atacks at the blue sword. Finishing his attack, he steps back and waits for the swords to move closer to the doorway. "Keep them at the choke point" His first slash strikes the sword and it wavers in the air.
Standing behind the frontline, Shagar shoots an arrow at the blue sword. There is a clang as her arrow strikes the blade.
"You call yourselves swords?! Your mother was a toothpick and your father was made of aluminum!" she shouts as she casts vicious mockery at the purple-hilted sword after seeing the others concentrating on the blue.

"You call yourselves swords?! Your mother was a toothpick and your father was made of aluminum!" Red shouts as she casts vicious mockery at the purple-hilted sword after seeing the others concentrating on the blue. The magic seems to have little effect on the inanimate object. The light engulfs the sword.

Shagar relaxes a bit but doesn't release the tension on her bow string. "Lets try some of the other doors." Shagar will move to the end of the hallway and will press her ear to the door on the left of the hallway and listen for sounds behind it.
Shagar puts her ear to the ice-cold door, but hears nothing beyond it.
Yet behind her, the door across the hall creaks open.
Six long stone tables are set with steel and glass laboratory equipment in this chamber, whose walls are lined with shelves holding all manner of strange knickknacks and tools.
An armed humanoid with white skin and red eyes moves stands in the doorway. It speaks aggressively at Shagar, gesturing with its jagged longsword.
(Draconic):
“And what is this racket? Don’t you understand I am trying to work! Ah… newcomers. What are you doing here? Have you come to steal my work?”
Katia did not have enough senses to hide and was too amazed by the talking skeleton to think about anything else anyway. She hear the question, though. "Not me. I mean, sounds interesting but no, I do not."
"Oh!" Katia was so surprised that begun to talk before even explaining others what is it all about. "You can speak our language! We came to search for cure of some disease that came from that ruins. We learned the cure is a special liquid kept in golden vials but so far have not seen anything like that around." In Common she added for those who did not understand "This is a peaceful ... person. Just wants to know why are we here."
"Yes, but a good blade... Oh never mind!"

"Its a good plan!" Shagar replies knocking another arrow just in case
(We're all born in a barn except Harley haha)
Red Chanter lowers her crossbow and mutters something about wasting perfectly good insults on animated inanimate objects.

Harley slams the door. The swords beat against the door for a few minutes, then clatter to the floor.
(Combat over! Where to now?)

Red Chanter shakes her head as she ducks back around the corner out of sight, hoping the creature hadn't seen her.

"Got Notin." Chimes the old man from the back; "I don suppose yer able to speak this language?"
"Languages is not one of my talents" responds Shagar.

The creature repeats its question, this time in another language.
(Elven):
"Speak! What say you? Why have you come?"
Shagar keeps looking around at her companions hoping one of them can understand this thing.
