Ray examines himself in the mirror, smiling and posing in different ways.
"You, best be careful before someone else attempts to do the same, Ray."
None of those skill checks are applicable here. :p
Seems like Ray, Tyranius, and Laeowynne entered the room.
Ray, Tyranius, and Laeowynne walk in the room and start looking around.
A droning hum in the room starts growing louder and louder when the trio enters the room, and about 20 seconds later the room's mirrors start distorting and have their images spinning. In a split-second flash of light, Ray, Tyranius, and Laeowynne are gone.
The mirrors then return back to their original calm position and the humming dies down.
Ray, Tyranius, and Laeowynne:
You all three are still in the same room and see each other, but the door is now closed. As far as you know, the only thing that changed after the flash of light is that the door closed.

"Holy crap!" Creat looks around. "They're gone. And so is their stuff!"
Tyranius, hearing the screaming, rushes to the closed door. Whe are in here! The damn door shut on us. He runs his hands all along the door as he grunts trying to push the door open.
"By the stars! What happened? Where are they? Or did we leave? I can hear them? Can they Hear us? CAN YOU HEAR US?! WE ARE RIGHT HERE!" Laeowynne says at first and then screams out to the others. "What was that light?" and the elf looks around their immediate are for any clues...Perception:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Tyranius pushes the door open with ease. You find yourselves behind your party members. It looks like the room across the hall is an identical room.
Perception DC 15 - Creat, Tanna, and Valeros ONLY:
You notice that Laeowynne, Ray, and Tyranius are all now carrying equipment on the opposite side of what they were when entering the room. What was on their left side is now on the right, and vice versa.
Perception DC 15 - Laeowynne, Ray, and Tyranius ONLY:
You notice that your gear is now swapped. Things that were on the right side of your character are now on the left, and vice versa. It also feels completely natural to it to be this way. As you reach for things, you feel that you are left-handed if you were right-handed, or vice versa.

perception (+1 vs traps):1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Noticing the incongruity in the figures behind the southern door Creat tries to subtly clue his fellows in on it.
He cups his hand and draws an imaginary sash from his left shoulder to right waist, then he uses his hands to simulate a goatee about his chin. He screws up his face in a devilish leer that might either indicate that the people across from him are actually evil, mirror-world duplicates of the real party members or that he has serious stomach complaint. No one is sure quite which.
"This is rahter maddening. The noise, the switching. Did I just hear something bash against the walls?" the elf says as he is rather perplexed by what is going on.

Ray walks around the room, trying to figure out why everything is reversed. "This is strange, but I feel fine. Maybe we have crossed over into another reality or something?"

Ray steps out into the hallway.
"I don't recall taking note of her name... I just think of her as Creat's Mom."
"AH-HA!" Creat points an accusing finger at the ersatz Ray. "It was a trick question! I don't even know her name!"

Valeros is far too entertained by the shenanigans going on, and pulls out his keg and drinks from it.
"Well, when you get it all figured out, you may want to step out of the room, then?"
No help here, sorry.
Ironically had Valeros gone in (and this were a 3.0 edition game) no one would have noticed the change because he would have had Ambidextrous as a Feat.
"Come clean you short doppleganger! Oo, or maybe you're a family of dopplegangers and you're the bratty kid pretending to be Ray."

I don't think you can take 20 on knowledge checks regardless. If someone has guidance as a spell and uses it on you and you roll really really well....
The buzzing again comes to a climax in the Northern room, and in a flash of light, you see Ray transfer from one room to the other. This time, he appears to be back at the correct handedness.

Tanna has Guidance if necessary and will cast if needed. Again I am still out of town on business and can check in every couple of days. Please BOT as needed

[dice=Arcana] = 25 so close... any aids?
Don't know that I can (because it is so esoteric that I couldn't figure it out myself). If it were a Spellcraft check (like when used to ID the properties of an item) some of the others might be able to help--though they might need to cast detect magic first. We could argue the point to the GM by noting that were we to kill one of the transposed party members they would then technically be an item affording you a +2 bonus for being an elf who notices those sorts of things, though the effect was probably instantaneous and not ongoing. ;)
From people going in, by now you figure out that this will occur every time someone stays in a room for 20 seconds. Laeowynne, your handedness also returns when you go through the ritual again.
If anyone wants to switch handedness for their character (and have their heart slightly tilted to the right instead of left), this is the place. :p
Seeing the rest return to normal Tyranius follows the rest of the group in and rights himself back into the correct direction.
We will have to ask the Pharasmites what the purpose of this room is in a crypt...
"I don't know about the Pharasmites, but there were all those statues out there in that one area. Maybe it's related to something about them rather than the people we're working for?"
If a pregen Valeros gets his heart shifted, does anyone notice? :P

"Only until you shiv one of us in the night Momma Doppelganger. You guys are marching point until we can figure this out, find a thingie of true seeing or well, something. I'm keeping my eyes on you." He makes a two fingered gesture to his eyes and then points them accusingly at each 'doppelganger' in turn.
Sounds like marching ahead is happening. Where to? There's double doors at the end of the hallway to the west, and then it branches off two ways, north and south.
