As the rope goes slack Taman would look to the others in concern. "Do you think something happened to them?" He asks, nodding to the no-longer-moving rope.
Thistle "Too late now but for future reference, if we do this again we need to set up some signals... like three quick pulls of the rope to signal danger and one long pull for "help, get me out of here" and so forth.We have no idea what's happening. Can anyone else swim well enough to go ahead and take a peek?"
Marius turns toward the attack and fires off an Eldritch Blast and hits the Trog right in the chest, blasting a hole through it. His second blast hits the dead body of the Trog putting another hole in it. Rivon turns away from the attack semi-blocking the hit (the Uncanny Dodge wiould have only worked on the first hit) reducing a bit of the damage, then steps away from the Trog as he readies his bow and moves backwards, firing at the remaining Trog and hitting it in the right eye with his arrow. The Trog stumbles forward not realizing that it's dead and falls flat on the ground pushing the arrow further through it's skull.
@Rivon and @Marius you each get 50 XP.

Marius, after getting jumped and blasting down the enemy, decides to look around, then go back to the party. Better plans can be made. He jumps back into the water and swims upstream.
Perception: 14 Investigation: 9
"That was fun. So, we blasted some creatures after they attacked us. I might need some healing, but I'll help get people through there. I do have a spell to ensure a safe long rest, if you would all like. Otherwise, ill try and slow down the water so that we can get through easier. Three, I think us together should be good enough to get people over there. But we should probably get the party over there if we want to continue."
He then attempts to slow down the water through the use of Shape Water.

Prior to at least Marius return, Three had been looking back to Taman and Thistle in confusion, having not really noticed much of a change in the rope. Between the plenty of slack and the fairly past moving stream still probably tugging it along, nothing much was all that different to her eyes. "I mean.. I guess? Kind of figure Mr. Riverz already knows to do that tho'. Also... Thimble... Do.... Are your ears alright? 'cause I... I mean, I did already say that I would-...."She kind of cuts off there, squinting at the petite figure as if trying to put together some puzzle.
When Marius(and presumably Rivon) returns though, she turned to smiling at the returnee(s). A smile that only grew wider and more predatory hearing of other creatures on the other side for at least a moment or two. However, as soon as Marius mentions a longer rest, she immediately pouts and crosses her arm. "... yea.. I-wait a minute. I just--I already-...." She trails off sighing in defeat and just shaking her head.

When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
Durlan having no interest in being "helped" across will make his way on his own. "What say you all about tying that rope to the far side as well as here just in case we need to climb back up it?"
Though still a touch frustrated, Three just sighs in defeat prior to getting to work on Durlan's request using her own length of hempen rope. Even if there's nothing in apparent sight that the one could be tied off at, the chimera -- thinking herself clever in the moment -- took out the enchanted longsword intending to stab and chip away at the wall enough to be able to wedge a javelin point first into it. Then if all seemed to go well, slip into the water intending to do much the same on the other side of the river adjoined chamber.
(OOC - @DM: Let me know if any checks is necessary for all the above. :D)
Once Rivon realizes what Three is trying to do, he digs into his bag and produces a hammer and some pitons. He also volunteers to connect the other end.
If offered, Three is sure to make use of both, hammering the pitons close enough to the river side to make the most of her rope before intending to head over to the other side. But, if only for the sake of time, while hammering in the one side, she'd pass Rivon the rope and hammer after, seeing as the halfling would be far quicker in the water. After giving him a few minutes (or if he returned sooner), she tugs on the rope to make sure everything is secured, before gesturing to it.
"All set, Mr. Cormanthyr. Mr. To-... oh! Sorry. Mr. Taman. Still-..er,... You good to go, or?"

Once everyone is able to make it to the other side safe and sound, Three shakes her whole body like a dog might its fur, and is smiling again after the trip. "Ah! Nothing like a dip to refresh the spirit!" She said while brushing her hair from the face. "Noooww which way should we go next?" She adds, asking noone in particular. If she should spy no immediate off shoot tunnels from the immediate chamber, then the Chimera would nonchalantly start following the river while on the look out for some, and fully expectant of the others to follow along behind her.

No, you can't hear any of what's going on, with the sound of the stream and the wall between you.

Rivon offers to power-swim anyone across the gap, should they choose. Did we find anything other than the trogs in our investigation?
Seeing Rivon and Marius looking at least slightly hurt, Durlan moves towards them. "If we're planning a rest soon I can provide a bit of healing."
Durlan casts Cure Wounds at first level on each of them.

Thistle accepts this offer as he's not really a water person.
Durlan having no interest in being "helped" across will make his way on his own. "What say you all about tying that rope to the far side as well as here just in case we need to climb back up it?"

Other than the hanging carcasses you did not find anything else. There was a lot more of the cavern that you did not explore.

Marius follows Three through the water, intending to follow and search the caves.

"Let's get it over with then." Taman nods with a grunt of anoyance. He would move into the water and use the rope to traverse to the far side.
Thistle tells Rivon he is ready to go.
Rivon tells Thistle to take a deep breath, then (way faster than Michael Phelps) he ferries him to the other side.
Thistle pouring water out of his boot "Gods I hate swimming!"
Once everyone is able to make it to the other side safe and sound, Three shakes her whole body like a dog might its fur, and is smiling again after the trip. "Ah!
