Not Splitting the Paladin
The door separating the party magically opens again, reuniting bard and mage with monk, paladin, and ranger. Well, I say ranger, it's more that we have a cat with an elf companion. But now we can join the fight against the tiefling, as Brennan and Skelra enlighten us as to the mechanism for the doors' opening and closing.
To make sure we all get in the room before all the doors shift again I tell the paladin to straddle the doorway to prevent it from closing prematurely.
'No.'
Damn, he saw through my advanced ruse. At least it means we won't split the party again, so to speak.
