Flynn, Luca, Drake
Flynn and Drake, you slip into the shadows and move to look over the door. All three of you have a good long look at the door and discover absolutely nothing seems to be amiss with the door as far as you can see, all seems normal. Drake you even listen at the door but don't hear any noises. While listening at the door you look down at the ground and see what reminds you of flicking candle light coming from underneath the door that you hadn't noticed before.
Chirinide
You slip into the shadows as everyone else is examining the door.
Luca uses his telepathy to relay the thoughts of the group all to each other so that none need to speak and give away their presence.
I don't see anything. Drake, Flynn, do either of you? Just think, you don't need to speak, I'll communicate your thoughts to the group.
I saw a light underneath the door, flickering like a candle. Besides that i did not see anything
Well Malcom, we are devising a new strategy. It involves letting the sneaky ones scout ahead, and bring us news of what's ahead. Hopefully this way, we won't lose any more shields, eh? he says with a wink.
Also, he adds, Nexumis and I need you here with us if you don't mind. Far too many ghastly horrors roving about for elves like me.
"Oh Hey, Great idea!"
Malcom will travel with Aelaeron, Nexmis and Chirinide.
yes, and ghastly horrors cowar from the likes of loud metal noises, Nexumis snickers at his own joke and moves on, attempting to stay quite as well,
Then he thinks to the group, if you see nothing, and hear nothing odd, open the door so Malcom may give our foes the migraine to end all thoughts if only he still had metal shields to complete the orchestra
When the door is opened
Aelaeron moves up to the corner northwest of the door, staying behind the cover of the wall.
Is everyone ready? Pendin, will you open the door?
Luca flies back to his master and keeps a wary lookout for threats.
Pendin grins and nods his head. He holds his fingers up, three at first, silently counting down. When his pointer finger curls down he opens the door and readies himself for any attack that may come.
Flynn takes a look through the room, keeping an arrow knocked in his bow, just in case.

You open the door and within is a round room that is lit by four small candles placed just inside of four doors at each point of the compass including the open door you are standing in front of. The inside of each door is painted in reds, purples, and yellows, and depicts a fighter in full chain mail. Each fighter seems to be awaiting an onrushing enemy, although no enemies of any type are shown.
Aelaeron casts detect magic and lets his arcane vision penetrate into the room, he moves forward a bit to capture the painted fighters in the 60' arc of the spell.
Chiri looks in from outside the room, and watches the others.
Flynn glances around the room
Pendin looks back through the doorway at his companions, "I don't believe there is anyone in here. Just some paintings." Pendin moves over to the side of the door to make room for anyone coming through the doorway.
Nexumis stands back, awaiting news from alearons detect magic, hes calm now, although very suspicious about these paintings.
"Well that was anti-climactic..."
With an exhaling breath of relief, Pendin looks back at his party members again and says, "That was uncomfortable for a moment, mayhaps I'll wait until our magical types use their enchanted eyes to look over a room before I rush in."
The candles are carrying a definite aura of conjuration magic, Aelaeron muses. They are not magical, in and of themselves, but if I had to hazard a guess, I would say that blowing them out might have some effect, although whether that effect is for good or ill, I could not say. In terms of power, these conjurations are somewhere between the fourth and sixth tiers of magical might. In terms of power, anything summoned could range in power and threat from something akin to a dire wolf, or perhaps a chain devil, or even a huge elemental. How would you all like to proceed?
"None of those sound particularly pleasant. Is there any kind of magical trap you could place around it in case something does come out?"
Trap? Hmmm, no, not that would last long enough to be of any real use. There had been some discussion of Nexumis placing an alarm spell on this location though. And that would certainly prove beneficial. I can't remember if he did or not though... I was... distracted
"We could close the door behind us, and maybe if anyone is able to lock it?"
"True I guess. Nothing magical or mundane could hold the door that we have on us?"
maybe a wall of force around the candles? or at the door. If i had a few hours i could prepare a hold portal spell.. didnt think bout that one... ppsshhh, i say blow em out Pen, orbetter yet, Malcom. Im sure we can handle what ever demon decides to visit
or better yet, Malcom. Im sure we can handle what ever demon decides to visit.
Malcom forces his way to the front of the group, standing triumphantly!
"I can vanquish any foe in our path! Just let me at them."
"Well, lets have at it shall we? Blow them out Malcom, if you would." Flynn says as he knocks an arrow in his bow
Wait! says Aelaeron. There's no need to be in the room when the candles go out.
He digs into his backpack and pulls out a heavy, folded winter blanket.
Luca, if you would...
The little dragon casts mage hand and lifts the blanket. Once Pendin has left the room, he lowers the blanket onto the candle in front of the south door, cutting off the oxygen and snuffing it out.
Malcom will listen to Aelaerons words and wait for a go ahead.
Pendin chuckles a bit and steps out beside Malcolm.
Flynn takes aim and unleashes a flurry of arrows at the nearest enemy
Aelaeron studies the painted warrior with detect magic, curious as to what sort of conjuration it might be.
Pendin rushes over to the side of the painted warrior and reaches out to hold him...
"Ah, battle! Yes! Mouss casts bless.
Chiri looses an arrow right past Aelaeron's hat as it flys straight towards the phantom knight,
