Once Cass has returned to the ground, Anton will move to the bridge. Unwilling to have such a questionable line of retreat or to have his friends fall to their death, he begins rigging up stabilization lines using his rope and pitons. Additional lines from the rail and platforms of the bridge extended widely to the side and tightly secured should make things much safer and more stable.
Once he finishes the near side, he crosses and repeats his efforts on the far side.
Acrobatics (or Dex save) for crossing the bridge: 24
Bho pulls himself upward and returns to the first ledge. Searching around the northern wall, Bho discovers a small fault line where a door has been fitted. Working quickly, you find the correct rocks to manipulate as the door slides grumbling across the floor revealing a dark passageway. Bho's darkvision outlines a peculiar sight. A crawling orc, bleeding profusely, crawls around the corner of the hallway and into view of the secret door. He stops and looks over towards Bho, blinking a few times. He starts to crawl backward into the room he just left, yelling something about elves. From behind the orc, some ways down whatever corridor lay that direction, Bho's ears are greeted by the sound of approaching foot falls. Heavy by the sound of it.
I am approximating your positions here let me know if you feel like you should be somewhere else.

Obsben perhaps does not catch everything Boh says, if anything at all, but the shouting Orc is enough to leave him wide-eyed. "I do dare say that we're in quite the pickle now, Mr. Anton! No point holding these back." Obsben then grips the woven holy symbol dangling from his neck tightly and said, "Big Mama. Not to be too much of a bother, but can you lend me a hand here?"It could have been just a trick of the light, but Anton -- as the only one close enough -- could swear the holy symbol glowed for half a second.
Obsben sees nothing, but feeling embolden all the same, he says to Anton, "Ya ready to throw down with some Orcs, Shadow Menace?" Obsben winks.
It's far too late now, but I just remembered that Cass also had a Bardic on him. Lol.
Speaking of, Anton, you know have a Bardic Inspiration. And Obsben has Resistance on himself.

Yep, a D6 to an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check one time. Lasts 10 minutes.

Anton's reinforcements have made the bridge much stronger and easier to traverse. (Those are also columns of stone, formed when stalactites and stalagmites meet.)
Bho swiftly ends the crawling orcs suffering and speeds his way across the bridge.
To the east, through a pair a stone doors, you find a hallway and open sleeping area. The walls are finished and smooth here and you can see four exits. The main part of the room has crates and barrels among the beds. The southernmost exit is covered by a wooden cage door and an ominous red glow emanates from the south east passage.
Are the rest of you moving east as well?

I would position myself behind the southern stone-column, trying to be able to watch the hidden door were i killed the orc and the coridor to the east as well as getting some cover.
Obsben couldn't see for crap, but still lingered by the bridge until the last person crossed, ready to provide some covering fire. Afterwards he bundles on after the last muttering, "This is loads more an exciting entrance than the last place, I do dare say!"

Scar would take position up front but let someone a else lead who can detect for traps on the way as Scar version of detect traps is to just set them off. He would try and be as stealthy as he can.
Scar and Anton move over the bridge and into the sleeping area, followed by Geth and Obsben. Staying in the shadows and moving quietly you peer into the oddly lit room. Something moves to the south, beyond the caged door. But before you can investigate further, 33, movement catches your eye across the room as four orcs, skin painted black as ash, creep quietly into the room through the north and east passages. They are holding javelins.
In the bridge room, an orc roars very nearby, obviously having found it's dead brethren. Sound fills the chamber as two orcs burst into view, with a third just inside the hallway (OOC no line of sight). With no enemy in sight, they look around and look to make for the bridge.
And then if he kills the Orc he would take two steps straight forward.
Initiative: 3
[OOC: Will be driving for most of today and not able to post, will try and get back online as soon as I am able but won't be till like 6 PM PST this evening.]
None of the orcs have noticed the party yet, you stealthy devils.
OoC: It's kind of amazing, really, that in a party of six, nobody has a stealth mod less than +3 and nobody is wearing more than light armor. The opposite extreme of another group I'm in which has two paladins and a tempest cleric, all with -1 or 0 stealth mods, and rolling at disadvantage due to heavy armor. Veeerry different MO than this group, as you might imagine. :-) (and no, nobody knew what classes anybody else was going to play)

Not wanting to fight next to the pit, Bhuraelea carefully crosses the bridge to get to Obsben and Anton.
What lies ahead to the east?

Anton move up front, near Scar. He's looking for movement and traps and going quietly.
Stealth: 16

Several things happen in the next few moments.
Scar and Anton move over the bridge and into the sleeping area, followed by Geth and Obsben. Staying in the shadows and moving quietly you peer into the oddly lit room.

Scar upon seeing the Orcs would go into a rage and attack the orcs to his right before they notice the party.
