Tyde will race over to where Rubin and the others are around the arrow slit using his movement and action to dash, so covering 60 feet (or less if they're closer).
"I guess this is plan B?"

"Run thy sword across my chains, Silver Lady, that I may join your dance.”
Tyde manages to get to them with a little bit of poofing, while Kethra shimmies down the rope quite speedily.
Xan does the worm.
Marros watches over Rubin's shoulder, and catches a glimpse of 2 bird like humanoids.
Rubin takes a rather pragmatic approach, and just shoots 3 times, dropping 1 and nearly killing the other as well.
On their turn, the remaining kenku keep up the tortured screams but quickly slam shut iron shutters, blocking the arrow slits and any vision you have of them.

(OOC: I assume it's back to the party then? If so, can Xan tell how far he is from the other side of the gatehouse. That being the side that opens up into the city. And if so, how far?)

"How rude! Well I guess we weren't going in through the arrow slit anyway." Tyde responds to the shutters being closed in their faces.

"Oh no, you're right," Kethra says with a wink and in the tone of false desperation. Her hands however, are signaling the rest to ready, aim and fire. She briefly examines the ironwork then attempts to pry it open, secretly wishing that they had gone and bought those crowbars as they planned.
Xan stayed committed, and would keep crawling forward expecting an arrow or two to zoom overhead at any moment. When none does before reaching the end, Xan quickly scrambled to his feet and started look around for a possible entry point into the gatehouse. Which if he could manage that, then it is with some reckless abandon that he would rush over to take open any door just enough for a peek inside.

Marros jumps at the slamming of the shutters. "By the Light!" He gathers himself and attempts to salvage his dignity. "By the Light you will...pay...for that. Somehow. Maybe." His voice trails off as he strings the words together. He looks to Kethra "What now? Seems they're not interested in our presence. Shall we continue deeper?"
"Yes, let's continue deeper, I'm curious to see what else this underground dwarven city holds for us."
Tyde uses Prestidigitation to dust off his attire and waits for someone to scout ahead, or at least move off in a direction so he can be 3rd in the marching order.

He looks to Kethra "What now? Seems they're not interested in our presence. Shall we continue deeper?"
Assuming the shutters stayed closed, Kethra nods at Marros and Tyde and signals them to move.
Now using one hand to exaggerate that she is calling out to the kenku beyond the shutters, she whispers a little too loudly, "Shush, they're going to hear us! Also, we shouldn't just leave such obviously dangerous creatures in there to plot their next move! We're gonna to wait them out! They'll have to come out to eat, or use the washroom eventually!"
She continues to yell, then adds the hammer from her smith's tools to add to the noise while signaling the rest to keep going.
Rubin would step back as the shutters are slammed close. As an attempt is made to pry them open he would hold his hand crossbow ready, and fire if a target is available. If nothing comes from the attempt he would start down the path again, hoping to find a door ahead he can use to get in to the area the Kenku are in.

"This way!" he calls over his shoulder, "Rubin is scouting just ahead."
Tyde will try to stay close to Rubin and be ready for anything.

Beyond the gatehouse, the corridor turns slightly to the right. There's a door in the wall on the left side further down, and you can see another passage branching off on the left past that. A little further than that another corridor branches off to the right, albeit a smaller one. When you move forward and if you attempt to peer down either of them, the left one is a broad passage with pillars in the center that opens up into what appears to be a bridge or causeway across some sort of underground moat. The right one seems to turn after a bit, and run back towards the gatehouse.

"Do we want to deal with those kenku first, or continue onward?" Rubin asks as he pauses at the intersection. "Can someone check that door as well?" He nods to the door they passed to reach the intersection. "Might lead to more of those bird-men, or something else." he keeps a watch at the crossroads while the others check the door and answer his question about the kenku.
"We should take care of those kenku! We haven't gotten this far by leaving loose ends behind, let's not start now."
Tyde will check to see if the door is unlocked by trying to open it.
(if the door is locked/blocked in any way and doesn't open:) "Can someone give me a hand with this door, it appears to be stuck."

(So something like this? Sorry it's weird, I made it in a rush lol, but the document is editable.)
(Kind of, but the arrow slit corridor was in the gatehouse and the arrow slits didn't extend beyond it. Also the gatehouse is technically diagonal, but that doesn't really matter and you had no way of knowing that.)
