With Benny hanging limply and wearing an embarrassed expression, Cynrik placed his right palm on the stone door leading to the Kobold Village and applied enough pressure to open it without making any noise slowly. Then, sensing Brance arriving behind him, Cynrik went ahead and opened the door beyond the inch-wide crack he had created, making a gap barely large enough for them to move through.
Brance brushed past Cynrik and Benny, making himself and Gabby the first ones through the threshold, which wasn't something they had previously agreed upon, but nonetheless, Cynrik was okay with it. Brance and Gabby had the most ground to cover, so breaking away sooner meant they'd already be in place by the time Cynrik and Benny arrived at the lavafall.
