Chapter 2 - Phandalin

Gerbo laughs quietly to himself. "Huh. Neat." He closes the door back up and shows his compatriots the mechanism before standing back up to his full 34" height. "So, where to? They mentioned a storeroom having a secret door leading to the wizard. Do we try a door that we haven't been through, yet, or look in some old room? We might have missed something."

"Weird, smart though! One could slip in unnoticed if used at like a party." Belanor continues to do poses with his new found crossbow.
"I don't recall any large hall except that one you got shot in. Is that the one you think somethings in?"

Getting more frustrated that the group are going round in circles, Kerisha takes her aggression out on some of the barrels in this room, Kicking them over and throwing them at the wall.

A grin comes across Karma’s face, though due to the beard no one would notice, "Well my fine muscular dude you have some good mojo running through you." The shaggy Dwarf walks over to the newly revealed door, "Shall we try this one?"

Blinking and wincing a little at the sudden ferocity shown by his orc friend, Gerbo's eyebrows shoot up at the new discovery. "You know what, Kerisha? I like your style. Would you like to open the door you found?"

Breathing heavily after her exertion, Kerishia looks proud that she found a door, even if it was more luck than judgement.

She can still feel her shoulder throbbing slightly from the last time she tried to open a door. "Ok. I got this one". After watching Gerbo's technique several times now, she tries to adopt the more subtle approach. She places a hand on the latch while keeping her other firmly on her sword.

Gerbo glares at the stairs suspiciously, looking for traps before searching the end of the stairs for any more secret doors.

Karma waits for Gerbo to do his thing, picking at stuff in his bread absent mindedly.

Gerbo, expecting resistance on the other side of the door, readies his rapier with one hand and pulls the door open with the other, attempting to do so as quietly as the door will allow.

Karma watches from the top of the stairs as Gerbo releases the secret latch to yet another room.

Gerbo motions to Kerisha to grab the wizard or the staff (he pantomimes run and grab motions).
He will let Kerisha into the door and then will charge in behind her. If the staff is still there when he reaches it, he will grab it. If not, he will just lunge with his rapier at the wizard.

In either case, after the attack, he hops back to the other side of where the wizard sat to surround him.

Belanor whispers, "What's going on there."

Belanor whispers, "What's going on there."

At first, Kerisha cannot understand what Gerbo means with his pantomime actions...run and hug him? I don't know him. Would a fist bump do?

Eventually she gets the idea and bursts into the room to grab the wizard, holding him back from and weapons, and making sure his arms and hands are restrained so he cannot cast any of that weird magicy stuff.
