Rax with the proper leverage you probably could do that provided you have the tools for it.

Depends on what sort of tools you might think we need, then.
I'm guessing the doors are quite heavy, so we probably need something relatively strong and thin to knock the pins out of the hinges and a blunt object to use as a hammer. Roshek has a hand axe - the non-bladed side could serve as a substitute hammer. Maybe Hekras has something strong and thin enough to get at the pins? And if we need wedges or something to hold the door in the right position as we start knocking out the pins, then we all have daggers that might work?
Alternately, we could head back to the ogre's store room or the rooms we found near the stairs to see if there's useful equipment there.

I was mostly thinking a prybar, and hammer at the very least daggers or something to work on the hinge pins. I'm not impossible to work with.

Well, I don't think we've got a prybar unless that's included in Hekras' thieves' tools, but we've daggers aplenty and as I said, I'd guess it would be possible to use the back of Roshek's hand axe as a substitute hammer. Checking the Arms & Equipment Guide, it has the following description of what can be found in a thieves' toolkit. Anything there look like it could be useful?

screwdriver chisel and hammer should be good enough to work on it. The pry bay I was more or less thinking as the lever to push up on the underside of the door with that was my reason for mentioning it. But really anything that you can use as a lever would work. Screw driver and chisel would be something you can get under the door hinge pins to pry those out. The hammer to hit against either to get them up and out if they are stuck or in too tight. Granted the risk is that it will make lots of noise unless you have plans of a silence spell.

I suppose I should post an update wasn't entirely sure if the prying of the door was happening or not since it was just a question asked to Hekras but I will assume that plan is going forward?

Roshek actually directed his question at all the PCs and NPCs. Knocking out the hinges will make noise, and it will likely carry far through the corridors. It will be the sort of noise that could bring enemies to investigate or at least alert defenders to something odd going on. Do we want to risk it, or do we first want to try the more innocuous knock?
Knocking may be weird, but I assume that the denizens of the dungeon do actually pass peacefully through this door, so knocking might not immediately lead to an alert. Of course, if it doesn't work, we're back to square one and will have to try the hinge solution.

Ah well I made sure Hekras answered Q probably has other opinions. Hekras is about up for anything you want to try. Knocking would be a fun option, and possibly odd other cultists might have keys for the door and so knocking might let them onto the fact you don't belong down here.

Fast-Talking is a NWP that exists. I don't have it, but it exists!

Alright so any other pre-battle prep or spell castings/changes you want to make go for them now and then I'll just move to you all being back where the guards are.

I think Daos is about as prepared as he can be at this point.
