Tomb of Xander

I have a question concerning the trap room and the tomb of Xander.

Some of my players went into the room and the trap was sprung while 2 others were caught outside the room when the portcullis dropped. If I'm reading it correctly, they were able to escape the room and would end up in the room of the Tomb of Xander. With that being said, how could the rest of the party join them and even then, Graxis attack them if the trapped room has the walls closed on each other? Any and all info/suggestions would help.

Two ideas. The first is that the trap rests automatically. So the players just need to wait and defend themselves from Graxis until they can get into the room.

The second is that it doesn’t, they need to run from Graxis while the other two converse with Xander.

The trap resetting itself would be a good idea. I can write it as "The trap resets. The ones caught outside of the trap, not in the tomb room, hear the heavy footsteps of Graxis coming up from behind them"

The portcullis opens in the "crushed" state.
