(If those paintings can be moved, then it would be great if we could just drop the one with the dragon right on top of the witch. If not, then what about luring her into the painting. I suggest when BenKii gets out of his stun, that he moves in front of the painting and taunt the witch to follow him. Once close enough, he'd sidestep out of the way and the other warriors would push her into the painting followed by burning it to prevent her from coming back out of it. What does everyone think about that? Any other ideas to dispatch the witch?)

(That's a very creative way to deal with the witch and minimize violence. And if it fails, we can always go all-in with everything we have).

I like ZyloxDragon's (Roy) idea to drop a painting on the witch and then destroy it to prevent her return.
Maybe he'd need an intelligence check for such plan tho.. )

Anyway yeah, I see the painting's strategy as the only winning one, if it's possible. )

(Also, just as a recap, Peloquin is already working on a painting for the puprose of catching the hag)

There's no guarantee that these painting are 2-way doors. For all we know, even touching the frame might suck one of us into the painting without a visible way of getting out (from the inside). It would be best to have test subject.
However, it's the heat of battle, and the paladins have caused chaos, death and destruction (even though orcs are generally blamed for these types of things). Roy will be heroic, and try removing whichever painting he is closest to, and see if he can get the painting "onto" the hag. First cast Reflect Spells on himself to "possibly" mitigate any effect touching the painting does to him.

The sudden explosion made Loradan startle and retreat a few meters.
Those fools! I tried to warn them! - he thought, seeing the two humans stunned on the ground.
Then, an horrible creature emerged from the blasted doorway.. it was a Hag, a powerful witch!
His options against such magic-resistant foe were limited.. again.
But fortunately, some warriors were ready to react and they immediately attacked the monster.
Loradan, however, tried casting Dispel Magic on the Hag, hoping to weaken her magic protections.

I, Strigon, drow necromancer casts death armor upon me to protect myself from any magic attacks by the Hag.
I, Strigon contemplate whether it will be better to just shut the door on the left and have it locked and barricaded to make sure whatever is coming out from the paintings cannot come out of the room.
It would be a shame if the creature coming out of the paintings was friendly and wanted to attack the Hag in our defence.

My fellow orc just gave me an idea. We could try going inside the right painting. The one with the tress and tall grass. Even if the hag can follow, at least we have a more open space to fight. I miss the sun and open air. Being inside this tunnel is making my blood boil.

If it's possible to come in and out, and if we want to get rid of the flying creature in the center painting, we could just put one of the side paintings in front of the center one, facing it. Whatever comes out of it will instantly come into the other one without harming us.

I kinda favor the lure the hag into one of the painting world strategy. Of course, we have so many other ideas that could work, so updated actions:
If Tanea is not able to bring BenKii and Roosevelt back to consciousness, I use Heal on them.
If the witch is still alive after creatures/elementals/spells are being thrown at her, I try to lure her into the paintings. If this is not possible (e.g. she is immobilized or the door to the left room is closed) and/or she becomes aggresive, I attack her with my silver sword before she attempts to hurt anyone.
After (if) everything is cleaned up, I walk and join the rest of the group in the left room.
