if your little gem can see I'll walk with it, but we need a way for it to tell me when something is coming.

I have five hundred feet of twine.  We can just tie one end to the crystal, and have it jerk three times if it sees something.

[spoiler]What is the left door like? Assuming darkness as well, if so Danus will close the door and move back over to the right one.[/spoiler]

What is the left door like?
Results will be the same with this door.

Assuming darkness as well, if so Danus will close the door and move back over to the right one.
Closing it would require you to stick you hand through the darkness, are you okay with that?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]That's what I thought you meant but wasn't sure.

Yes he'll stick his hand through, but only quick/far enough to grab the door knob/handle. As a player, do I want him to? Nope


Spot check to notice Chauser's c. 10-foot pole 1d20+2=16[/spoiler]

(If he notices the c. 10 foot pole)--Chauser's collaspible 10 foot pole catches his eye just as he's about to reach through the darkness for the door handle. "Chauser, mind if I borrow that for a few moments?" He asks indicating to the c. 10 foot pole. (Assuming Chauser hands him the pole) "Thank you" Taking the pole, he extends it and proceeds to reach it through the darkness to catch the door handle and pull the door close. He then moves to rejoin the group, handing the recollapsed pole back to Chauser with a nod.

(If he does not)-- His hand is quickly reached through the darkness to grab the door handle and pull it closed. He then moves to rejoin the group at the right door.

Dalanath motions at the others.  "Come, I will lead the way.  The room is large enough for all of us."  He then walks confidently into the darkness, his piscrystal moving foward in order to examine the other side of the room.

Terek, without a torch, cautiously follows Dalanth.

You can see an empty doorway, and a few feet of empty space.

Hearing the growl Frank immediately grabs his ax and turns toward the direction it came from.

Would it be logical to believe the doorway we see open in the 2nd door from the previous room? (just want to make sure i'm envisioning this right)

He follows Frank, stepping through the darkness and into the room beyond.

Galon flexes his spines as he follows within the torchlight.
there is roughly a 99% chance that this post is an obscure reference to SOMETHING.

Everyone's going to the open door?  Terek follows with his bow out, staying in the shadowy illumination part of the torch (more than 20 feet back from the torch-bearer).

As Galon steps through the darkness into torchlight, the group can hear a small thud from behind them, the sound of a door closing. When the group looks behind themselves they see no door at all though, just an empty wall where it use to be.

[spoiler]Robby, I think everyone was leaving the room still, but if you wish to go to the door, just say so. :)

You are all presently in torchlight or shadowy illumination, depending on how far away you are from your bearer.[/spoiler]
