As expected, after about two hours on the road, Cynrik and company arrived some distance from the mountain range and slowed to a halt half a kilometer from the cave entrance.
Calling the pets to a stop and unhooking them from the sled, Cynrik shrouded everyone under cover of his stealth skill and brought them together to ensure everyone knew their job.
Once everyone confirmed their task, Brance paused and looked over at Milo, who had shrunk back down. He was supposed to leave immediately with Benny and Selene, but he had an idea of his own, so he pulled Cynrik aside and spoke to him.
{Cyn, I have an idea, but I want to run it past you before I do anything.} Brance said as he looked away from Milo and at his brother.
