Into the Woods

"Keep looking!" Bimpnott calls out, then moves the griffons paw back to its original position. Perhaps that locks up Umbril, but who knows, perhaps the other end opens up?

If not, the firbolg quickly opens the first door again.

Bimpontt manipulates the Griffons paw, and the nearer door moves shut again.

Terry tries to see if the other side opens as this side closes before the door obstructs her view.

Umbril remains in the dark cursing at the monk as he leaves him trapped in the small corridor. However, his darkvision, adapted to the gloom of the Raven Queens halls kicks in almost immediately and he looks again at both sides, both doors in the passage.

Terry peers through the wall / door and, just as the near door is about to close, you can see the far floor / wall just begin to move.

"It seems like the door on the other side opens and this one closes," Terry says. "So someone must stay here and close this door so the others can go through and then, hopefully, they can find the way to open the other side so the person left behind can rejoin them. Reopen our side and those of us going into the unknown can wait in the passageway."

Bimpnott frowns as he tries to process Terry's words.

"So I open the door again?" and the firbolg once more moves the griffon's paw.

 

[Neurotic]

Umbril goes through the new opening, but leaves his echo behind in the passage, just in case he needs to return.

EDIT: clarified that Umbril goes through the door at the far end of the corridor @jmucchiello @mips42

 

[jmucchiello]

"Can that open the door from the other side?" Terry asks pointing at the echo. "If so, we can all remain here."

Spoiler: Umbril

you just manage to sneak through the far doorway as t is closing and exit out into a largish room. It seems empty except, just on this side of the stairway bulge, you can just see a small object on the floor.
