Following the others down, Zeric kept his grip tight on the morningstar. While the others could think him foolish all they wished, Zeric was not going to allow their weaknesses to allow the children to come to harm.
As they entered the room filled with masks, Zeric allowed his guard to lower slightly as he approached the masks to study their workmanship. Zeric had learned much in the long months of having a dwarvish advisor, and even to his novice eye, he knew that creating these masks had to be a long process.
Turning back to face the others, Zeric once more set his face to be a stoney and listened to them arguing over entering the open door. While Zeric had no doubt that it could be a trap, it could just as easily be the door the kidnappers used when they brought the children down here. Deciding that once more, his actions would serve them better than his words, Zeric approached the open door to look inside it.
