The paladin readies for the door to open
All of the switches having been pulled at the same time, the door to the west opens!

At least. It seemed like it took us weeks to solve this puzzle. as he moves forward.
As Talondreal speaks, he notices the door slowly closing.

He tries to keep the door open.

Dragall goes to Talondreal and looks in to the room.
perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
The pressure of the door closing seems like it would crush Talondreal like an insect under a dwarven boot, he does not think he can keep that door from closing. He figures he has about four more seconds before it splits him into two parts.

Press the buttons and keep the door open he orders.

Okay, but there's got to be a way to keep the door open. I wonder if there's a switch on the other side?
Kara is ready to hit her switch again whenever needed.

Dragall returns to switch and press it again.
Now, press!
Talondreal, use something hard and put it between door and wall.

Rizzok will move to the other side of the door and see if there is something on the other side to keep it open.
Not sure where the door actually is. Talondreal indicates he is at the door, but on the map, it looks like he is not.
It is the West door, as you came in from the North.
When all the switches are pulled once more, the door re-opens, though almost immediately it begins its inevitable slow closing.

Let's open the door immediately in case Rizzok finds something dangerous.
The other side of the door opens into a hallway. The moaning / wailing can be heard louder here.

Doesnt have a spike or anything that might be used to stop the door
Short of an act of deity, pressing the 3 switches, or a disable device check, that door will close each time one round after it is opened.

Can anyone aid me with some minor magic, I could see if some additional help would be sufficient. Otherwise, anyone think they are strong enough to break down the door.
Something is not right with this encounter. Getting from the farthest switch (where Dragall is) to the other side of the door would require 65 feet of movement. Since there are no straight lines to the door running is not possible. That means unless there is at least 1 person in the party with a speed greater than 30 feet (not a common thing), it would be impossible for all the PCs to make it through the door before it closed.
Anyone have a guidance spell? I could see if a 30 is sufficient by taking 20. (Taking 20 should be possible. Taking 20 on Disable Device checks to open locks is one of the uses of taking 20 specifically mentioned in the core rules.)

Okay, on re-reading, this was ran incorrectly for me once and so I took it that way after that... the door UNLOCKS for one round, meaning you just have to open it within that one round. It doesn't automatically re-close. We had no trouble doing it the wrong way though oddly... but that's neither here nor there.
EDIT: So the door is open. You may proceed.

Kara claps her hands excitedly as Rizzok opens the door.
Let's go, guys. Adventure!

Dragall enters the room with his greataxe in hands.

Dragall enters a hallway. The mournful wailing grows louder with each step toward the door at the end of this musty hallway. There are a host of bones strewn on the floor here, many of which are cracked and broken.

Kara almost seems to be having fun.

Rizzok enters the hall and listens to try and pick out which direction the wailing is coming from.

Rizzor can you check that southern door for traps?"

"Someone sounds like they're in trouble; it might be dangerous, but we have to help them."
Kasai follows the sneaky ratfolk down the hallway.
The door at the end of the hallway does not appear trapped, but it does appear to be locked and barricaded, the wailing coming from beyond it.

Can you pick the lock, Rizzock? the paladin asks.

Rizzok slowly works at the lock. (Take 20 for a 29.)
Rizzok opens the lock, but finds the door still barricaded. Rizzok (and only Rizzok) may attempt a perception check. The rest of you notice the wailing seems to have stopped.

"The lock is open, but you'll still have to break down the barricade. By the way, whoever is on the other side has a loaded crossbow."

Kara makes a gesture which cleans a dirty spot on her dress. Prestidigitation
We will be ready for them.
I can spam Ray of Frost for d3+1 every time, but I'm guessing that won't bypass the barricade's DR. Who's our physically strongest member?

I can try to force my way past the barricade but that might leave me open to the crossbow and who ever is weilding it, he says,.

Make some space I will try it! Who wants to live forever!
STR: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
"Not as easy as I thought."
Dragall does not advance. You get the impression that an average person could make it through, were a crossbow not on the other side. DC 10

Step aside, boys.
Kara muscles her way to the door and gives it a shove.
Strength: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (12) + 0 = 12 Ha! I love it!
She readies herself for the inevitable crossbow bolt aimed at her.

If Kara opens the door
Dragall enters a room, hoping to avoid the bolt.
perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The barricade is only slightly pushed away, it looks like another good shove (or in this case two) would have it out of the way. Kara does indeed find herself the target of a crossbow bolt.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5
She takes a wicked bolt to the side and begins to hear someone reloading.
M Half-Orc Oracle/4 CN | HP: 28/35 | AC 15 /T 11/FF 14, CMD:16, Fort:+3 , R+3, Will:+5, Init:+1, Percep:+5 | | Speed 30ft | Spells: 1st 8/8; 2nd 3/4| Active conditions: none. |
Dragall tries to push again.

So does the paladin
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Dragall and Talondreal manhandle the door open, shoving aside the debris barricading it. You find a slight man there, frantically trying to reload a crossbow. He looks dissheveled and smells like he's been in this room by himself for days. DAYS. Pic added.
