"I think I'm just a wee bit stuck." Vor seems relieved that his rescuers are indeed rescuers. "Found this cave and thought it would be a safe place to hole up for the night, but exploring it proved a bit dangerous, could have ended up a skeleton if you had not shown up. My thanks."

“Where are you headed?” Krusk asks the man. Krusk doesn’t fully trust him yet, and he doesn't want to give him many details about anything that’s anything.
Hallanann reaches a hand down to the man and introduces himself, "My name is Hallanann. We are on our way to Lapo, and our friend here, Chikra," Hallanann points to our little Slitherin barbarian, "was guiding us through the pass that we're hoping will help us avoid some of the deadlier wildlife in this area."
"Lapo," Vor says in a somewhat surprised tone, "why that's were I'm bound. Don't know anything about the place though, how about you all? Know anything about it?" He stands a bit gingerly, rubbing his legs, trying to work the circulation back into normalcy. He will gather up the candle, pitons and hammer, stowing them away.
"Just as a thought, this hole is an old mine and I was exploring it before I ... decided to rest a bit. Do you fancy giving it a look see? Who knows, might be profitable, could just as well be a hole in the ground with a lit of bat feces, too."

You travel down the twisting cavern. Parts of the tunnel were formed by nature, and other parts have been carved out with sweat and determination by dwarven miners. You come to a chamber in the mine with a ten foot wide crevasse splitting you off from the tunnel on the far side. There is a small opening on the left wall about a foot in diameter. Across the crevasse you can see there is some abandoned mining equipment: a wagon, some beams, and a shovel.
Newa will move toward the equipment and wagon, looking for a place to conceal herself and keep a watch out in between rummaging through the equip. and wagon for anything interesting or signs of who may have left it here...
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Chikra's going to look at both the crevasse and the smaller hole, looking for signs of recent passage, how long it's been since anyone's been through here, and which way they went. Survival or Investigation: 20
You are in a chamber that is about 40 feet in every direction. There is a crevasse that is unfathomably deep, and about 10 feet wide that divides the room from left to right. When looking down into it, there is no sight of the bottom. On the other side of crevasse is the abandoned mining equipment, with no clear way to get to it. Upon inspection of the small hole, you see that it goes into the wall, and then turns up. Chicra notes that she could squeeze through it, although it doesn't look like anyone has been this way in a long time.
This chamber is very quiet, and smells old and musty, like a mix of tar and mold.
Newa finds a place to conceal herself between some rocks on the close side of the crevasse. She is well hidden, doesn't hear anything other than the party.
(Can I assume that the Vor, without dark vision, lit a torch?)

Vor will light his miserable little candle. "Well," he says brightly, "to bad we do not have a portable bridge. Can anyone safely jump the crevasse? I have a rope we can use to secure the jumper just in case."
He looks at the rest of the arty. "I might be able to climb along the wall." He will examine the wall at either end of the crevasse to determine if one could traverse the walls.

“Chikra, can you squeeze through the hole? Maybe it leads to the other side, and we can use stuff to make a bridge, Krusk asks. He will also look around for anything that can be used to make a bridge to get across the crevasse. Perception: 6
Would Chikra already know, since she knows of the tunnel, if we're supposed to cross the chasm?
"I could get through, yeah, see if it opens up enough for the others at any point. Tunnel was supposed to be wide enough for lots of different types of folks to pass." She looks around. "None of you with magic have any way to get anything across either?"
"We can use my climbing kit," Chikra calls (quietly). She'll use some of the pitons to secure the rope on their side, instructing Lia how to do the same on her end. Making sure it's closed and well secured, she'll use the kit itself as a weight at the other end of the rope to throw it over the 10-foot span -- about 20 feet of slack rope, and the rest coiled up with the kit. That should be enough of a mass for Lia to be able to grab it, and if it does fall, we can haul it back up on our side and try again.

(ooc: Is this mine the same route as Chikra's Pass? Or is this something separate?)

Hallanann is curious about the small hole in the side of the crevasse. He goes over to it from the side so that he's not directly in front of it.
What does he see (Darkvision 60')? What does he hear?

Lia shrugs and casts misty step appearing on the far side of the trench.
She starts looking for something to tie a rope to so the others can cross easier.
"Gads," Vor says as he sees Lia doing whatever it is she is doing. "That would be a neat trick to learn."

Hallanann stands nearby the chasm, waiting just in case something goes wrong, and he can react.
