This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Seeing Lothar struggle to try to climb the eastern side of the rift, Vandar works his way over and tries to climb up himself, but has no more luck than the bigger man.
The booming sound of waves that has been echoing through the tunnels since you arrived is strong in this room, it seems to be coming from the passages to the east.
Buried beneath the rubble Silas spots something. It looks like some bones but something the unfortunate person was wearing has somehow managed to survive intact these 500 years, probably something magical. Silas is too small to have a chance at moving the stones but one of his larger friends may be able to retrieve the item with a strength check.
Lothar heaves and the large stones roll off of the skeletal remains of a dwarf. Most ofvthe armor and clothing has deteriorated over the years in this damp section of the mine, but the dwarf's gauntlets remain untouched by age.
"Well lookie here." Nundro says stooping to examine the find. He reverently removes the gauntlets and leaves the remains where they lie. "I would guess these were made right here in the forge at this mine. There is an engraving here just inside the cuff, 'Let Dumathoin bless the wearer of these gauntlets with the strength of an ogre' Or at least thats the best I can translate it from the old dwarven script into common. By rights these belong to my kin, but I give them freely to you now in the spirit of the old alliance under the Phandelver's Pact."
They are gauntlets of ogre power. They will require attunement. Nundro is offering them freely to any of you, they will not fit Silas.
"I beleive since Lothar was able to move the rock it would make the most sense for them to go to him. If not then by rights they are yours to take." Tibern says to Nundro.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Vandar continues to try to climb the eastern side while the others play in the dirt. He finds a better pathway to the top this time and easily scales the rock wall. When he reaches the top, he searches out a place to secure one end of a rope, then lets the other end down for the others to use to climb up.
Lothar thanks the others for the offer and picks up the gauntlets. They are exquisite, and he is sure they will come in handy. Thank you kindly, sir, he said. He donned the gloves and prepared to strike down the denizens of the cave.
(OOG: whoops, i missed Vandar getting the up and dropping the rope, as well as Silas climbing up behind. No check is required to climb the rope so that direction is open to you now. Did Vandar climb up to the northernmost passage or the souther one?)
Tibern is going to move to join the others as they climb the rope. "For now let us continue to explore one room at time. Be sure to not touch anything that appears suspicious..."

(OOG: Sorry for the delay, had a break in at my shop. Unless I hear back otherwise I am going to assume you are taking the northern most passage. I will post a new map and get things moving again tomorrow morning when I will have the time to put it together.)

(Same one as Lothar was trying to climb before, so north)
A narrow ledge overlooks a large cavern that houses a surging, seething body of water. The rhythmic booming heard throughout the mines is louder here. At regular intervals, a fresh surge of water funnels into this chamber and slams against the wall just below the ledge. The echo suggests that this cave might be one arm of a much larger cavern to the northeast.
(OOG: Sorry again for the delay, been a crazy couple days and now imgur is making things as difficult as they can for the pictures, but I got it figured out.)

Tibern eyes the two climbing and shakes his head as he knew he would have even less luck

"Hey friends I have found something in the rubble. Its buried and I cant move these rocks by my self."
Lothar
The man moved over to the rocks to see if he could help. He'll have to deal with climbing the rock face in a bit.
Strength Check: 18

"Right then which way lads?" Nundro says picking back up the shield he took from the dead bugbear.

Tibern will continue to follow the path they have been taking it, making sure to keep his weapon at the ready. "So shall we continue onward?"

Silas will poke his head around the corner into the first passage. He will then tell the group what he sees.
