OOC: I thought the Nothic was out of the crevasse and across the bridge, Whistler would charge across the bridge but I also like Ismenow's suggestion, I will let you decide.
Whistler - Lost Mines of Phandelver [Lvl 8 Barbarian] | Cinta Yuliani Lestari - My Island Home [Lvl 3 Fighter] | Shalana - Allansia Wildlands [Lvl 4 Monk] | Roger Durant - Storm King's Thunder [Lvl 8 Monster Hunter] | Rotthran - The Waterdeep Heist [Lvl 5 Thief]
Ireniana collapsed the southern Bridge. Baeshra's idea is a good one. Let's say you jump on the giant spiders back as it climbs out. Since this hasn't been practised before, make an athletics check with disadvantage. Or acrobatics. Your choice.
I'll proxy it: 14
That does it! Whistler sees Giant Spider Baeshra Not-Goblin skittering up the slope and jumps onto his back. As they climb out of the crevasse, Whistler brings his mighty great-sword down on the back of the Nothic, slicing the foul beast in two.
The Nothic is dead, we are out of initiative, what does the party do now?
"I'm glad we silenced that foul thing - it was likely off to warn Glasstaff - let's throw the body into the crevasse where it's less likely to be seen, then continue looking about. Let's check that other bridge as well, make sure it's not rigged to collapse like this one."
" Whose hurt?", Lyngheid said worriedly.
Ireniana rises to her feet. "I had a little tumble and could probably a little healing."
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
"I'm HURT!" Whistler frothing at the beak. He looks down at Baeshra, Not Goblin Spider and jokingly announces, "We Whistler Baeshra Not Goblin!"
It takes a while for the adrenaline to lower in Whistlers body, if 10 minutes pass (10 rounds), then he calms down again.
Whistler - Lost Mines of Phandelver [Lvl 8 Barbarian] | Cinta Yuliani Lestari - My Island Home [Lvl 3 Fighter] | Shalana - Allansia Wildlands [Lvl 4 Monk] | Roger Durant - Storm King's Thunder [Lvl 8 Monster Hunter] | Rotthran - The Waterdeep Heist [Lvl 5 Thief]
Ireniana is twenty feet down in the Crevasse. It feels unnaturally cold down there. On top of some old, gnawed bones she sees a half eaten corpse face down under the north bridge.
Whistler and Baeshra are on the east side of the crevasse, everyone else is on the north side.
Umbriel goes up to check the north bridge for issues. Make an Investigation check.
About 30 seconds have passed since combat ended as people are sorting themselves out.
Baeshra would gently shake Whistler off, then climb down and crouch for Ireniana to climb on and explore the crevasse before climbing up by the other bridge.
Perception: 19
Investigation: 17
Rolling with advantage assuming that Ireniana helps.
Alright, you and Ireniana go checkout the body amongst the bones. The face isn't recognizable, but there are wood carving tools in his back pocket.
As you are looking the half-eaten body over, a battered wooden chest in a cubbyhole under the north bridge catches your attention.
OOC: Do we want to take a short rest, or should I do some healing?

Umbriel investigates the north bridge for signs of tampering: 1
(ooc: I'll support the group consensus. I'm not hurt, but a short rest will let me get a spell slot back.)
You are confident that you could host a rave dance party on that bridge, if you knew what one was. Nothing fastens the bridge to the ground though, so either end could be lifted or shoved into the crevasse if someone wanted.
OOC: I wouldn't mind a short rest, Ireniana is only down 6 hit points, but she still has her second wind that she can use. I'm good with either.
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
" No worries. Love. This'll fix you right up...."
OOC: Cure Wounds. 7
" Bah! I already healed you, ya daft wullie. Maybe not good as new....but what can you do?"
Ireniana is twenty feet below you. Do you go down into the crevasse to administer this healing spell?
OOC: I'll just wait til she comes back up.
To recap:
Ireniana and Spider-Baeshra are at the bottom of the Crevasse. They have discovered a half-eaten body with wood carver tools in it's back pocket. They have also discovered a battered, wooden, chest.
Lyngheid is holding a Cure Wounds for Ireniana when she climbs out of the Crevasse.
Umbriel has studied the northern bridge and deemed it secure.
It's been about 10 minutes now, so Whistler's rage has faded.
