The door slowly clicks its cogs and locking mechanisms open and shut, and after what feels like an interminable amount of time but only amounts to around thirty seconds, the door opens, revealing...another small hall, with a number-based locked door on the opposite you, and a pair of doors on your flanks. House Kundarak is nothing if not 'thorough', it seems. The blood trail seems to be thicker here, and, ominously, leads to all doors now.

Adam Human Cleric AC: 20(Cloak of Displacement) HP: 41/45 PP: 18 PIv: 9 PIs: 9 Conditions: Concentrating: Moving cautiously, starts to step forwards, then stops, clearly thinking about something worrisome, before he turns to examine the door. "If the blood trails are from the House Kundark expedition, why was the door closed? Do any of you have a piton, or some other way of forcing the door to stay open?"

"You think a piton could hold this? It would snap. And you would never pry the mechanism open with our arms alone, even if it stayed cracked open." Glancing back towards the entrance, he volunteers, "I can stand watch. If the vault closes, I can use the combination again, yes?" Spoiler: OOC Show Are we using BG3 Short Rests here as well?

No thank you. I just want to secure the goods and get out of this place with the Karnathi. I've had my fill of nearly being disassembled by monsters, kin, and magics." Honor grit his metal jaws together and waited for Adam to try the door.

Adam Human Cleric AC: 20(Cloak of Displacement) HP: 41/45 PP: 18 PIv: 9 PIs: 9 Conditions: Concentrating: Adam frowns, considerately. "Looks like the door mechanism is the same on both sides. And if we can't jam it, we'd best pray that it doesn't seal." His dire warning given, Adam heads through the door, his shield up and his eyes scanning the room for danger, codes, and signs of who died here. Spoiler: OOC Show (1d20+8)[17] Perception?

[Amnestic]

As you pass through the large door, you hear scratching from behind the other doors on your flanks - to your left and right, though thankfully not behind the code door to your front. With each scratch it seems to get louder, more insistent, until it begins harmonising with itself, and rapidly growing. In moments it changes from the raking of claw on wood into tearing and splintering. Something knows you are there, and it wants to reach you.

Spoiler: Map

You can ignore the door that Aanash/Honor/Adam are 'crossing over' - it's just not something I can remove from the map.

Dodge action?

[Amnestic]

No sooner does the code-lock door shut behind you than you hear the splintering of wood from behind it as one of the doors is crushed. As you take up position before the closest one, you hear one thump against it, and then the entire thing falls apart in a great wrenching of boneclaws tearing through wood. Stood in the now 'open' doorway is a red-eyed grey-skinned dwarf, its maw dyed with dried blood. Aanash's tail lashes out at it, but to no avail as the stocky undead ducks away from it and closes into melee.

Spoiler: Map

The ghoul smashes through the door, but its first attack missed, so it has no more attacks to give.

[Amnestic]

With only a single foe, surrounded as they are, they're brought low and smashed asunder before they can mount any attacks against the party proper. You hear more splintering and smashing of wood from the far side of the shut door, as chunks are torn from the larger door you're immediately adjacent to. It seems the others have begun to rip and tear at it, and how long it will hold is anyone's guess.

Spoiler: Map

Party downs it the ghoul, though if one attack had missed it'd still be standing.

Party's up again. It's an action to re-open the door, or you could wait for them to re-smash through it. Bear in mind initiative order if you are gonna have someone open it.

[Amnestic]

You quietly prepare yourselves as best you can, but the are perhaps entranced by the ravenous hunger that hasn't been sated for so long, and tearing claw and teeth manage to tear great gashes in the door, pulling apart wood and metal until there's a gap wide enough to strike and see through. One of the ghouls even manages to lunger through the gap, biting a chunk out of Svek, though the kobold evades its paralyzing claws.

Spoiler: Map

A burst of webbing seeks to entrap your foes - and indeed they all fall victim to it as they come under assault of hammer, moon, and tail. An unorthodox combination, perhaps, but one that nevertheless tears one of the ghouls to within a fraction of his life. They struggle to escape the thick webbing, and while two of them succeed, they have little choice but to move forward, right into the meatgrinder, while one is still kept within Adam's moonbeam, unable to advance further.

At the start of their turn, all three ghouls are webbed up.
They all use their actions to attempt to escape the web. The one on the left fails, the other two succeed, but since it cost their action, they're not really able to do much else. One moves forward, out of the moonbeam, but they're single digit hit points remaining.
