While Joshua has been thinking about the magic and the gem, he decides to do an experiment. He casts minor illusion to create a miniature sapphire dragon (as in made of sapphires) placed on top of the gem
"Something is definitely wrong with this area. Magic doesn't last long. We need to find why." Joshua sticks his rapier forward a little to see if the pit interferes with physical or just magical objects. And if the sword doesn't affect anything, he will try to find (investigation 11) some small living thing (like a snail type thing preferably) that he can place on the end of his rapier and hold it forwards to see the interaction with organic matter.
Talon would look to the others and attempt to cast mage hand, sending it out towards the crystal in an attempt to pull it close as quickly as possible before it can cause the hand to dissipate.
Joshua will light a candle and getting someone to make sure he doesn't fall off he will lean into the pit with the candle. "Magic doesn't work. But maybe natural light will"
Talon would open his eyes with his arms still outstretched, He would Chirp and Kaw excitedly as he enjoys the sensation of flying. When Hoyle shouts, Talon would shake his head a bit and try to focus his eyes to spot the gem the next time he goes past. Hoping to grab it.

Joshua's sapphire dragon flies and settles on the gem. In the space of a few seconds the illusion is also absorbed by the power.

(How large is the gem?)
"Hey guys, this pit goes forever or has something hocus pocusie about it. That stone I dropped fell from the ceiling after a while."
The gem is the size of a small fist.
The mage hand goes and grasps at the gem but it can't seem to take hold of it. It seems to be slipping from the grasp.
Talon will take a few steps backwards and take a running leap towards the gem, hoping to grab it in the air!
I ll need an athletic roll Talon.
Seeing Talon going to jump Joshua shouts "You can do it! Believe in yourself"
(though no bardic inspiration as I'm out until my next long rest)

Lol nice one.
OOC: Talon athletics! 18 (nailed it!)
Talon jumps to get the gem falls short. He probably misjudged the distance.
He starts to fall and you quickly loose sight of him.
For Talon
You fall and pick up speed. There is no wind except the one mad from your fall and you don 't see the bottom.

Talon would begin flapping his wings, trying to slow his fall. After a moment however he would close his eyes an imagine that he is flying.
Talon falls, tries to spread his wings then thinks and concentrate on flying.
Nothing happens. He is still falling.
Hoyle will yell out to Talon, "grab the gem after you fall from the ceiling."
Is there any kind of ledge around the pit or does it encompass the entire room?
No the walls are devoid of anything to find a purchase. (That phrase sounds strange I know 🤔)
As Hoyle says this you all see Talon pass by not far from the gem
Talon would open his eyes with his arms still outstretched, He would Chirp and Kaw excitedly as he enjoys the sensation of flying. When Hoyle shouts, Talon would shake his head a bit and try to focus his eyes to spot the gem the next time he goes past. Hoping to grab it.
Does he seem to fall from the same place as he fell or does he seem able to move forward?
