Leon's caution was well understandable - the underground river was almost 200 feet below and judging by the sound was quite fast too. Hoever, Bernard - that gracefully regained his balance after throwing his dart from the middle of this construction, could feel, that despite its appearance the bridge is safe structurally.
(anyone is collecting ears? 3orcs at the entrance and one on the other side of the bridge)
The room on the other side of the bridge looks similar to the entrance - ceiling you can not see, smooth clearly handcrafted floor tails. It ends by the double doors - not locked, with a long corridor, far less spacious in every direction. The corridor ends in a natural cave, which walls and floor have been carefully smoothed. You can discern at least four routes leading off into darkness. Red coals glow from within the southeastern passageway, and a crude wooden cage door closes off the southern exit. The floor is covered with sleeping furs, crates, sacks, and rubbish.
Alyssa will go around collecting the three orc ears on their side of the bridge. Once done, she'd use prestidigitation to clean off her hands and daggers before joining the others closer to the bridge. The elf will do a quick inspection and ask the others, "Anything I can mend to reinforce it quickly?"
Ramious says, "I can tie a rope around this pillar for you to hold, just in case. Should we check those arrow slot spots the orcs came out of?"
He sets about tying a rope around one of the large pillars and then drags it back to the bridge. "It only meets half way." He drops the rope in the middle of the bridge as he leap / flies across the chasm to the rest of the group.

Ramious take some time tying two ropes together. Pulling firmly on the knot. Hmmm. Seems ok. He strings the combined ropes all the way across the bridge. “So, lets checkout those archery spots first?”

Bernard wavers for a moment before putting his longbow and maintains his grip on the a shortsword and draws one dart, "north or south." Bernard asks looking at both hallways.
Alyssa would wait until the others have secured their path across the bridge before she'd make her way along. Once on the other side, she'd collect the orc's ears before pausing to take count while the others decided which direction to go. She too would shrug and will follow Ramious south, cleaning her blade.
OoC: are we on the east or west side of the bridge. It sounds like some are moving east across it and others are on the west side heading south to the stairs to check out the arrow slits for orcs.
The travel across the bridge was additionally secured with the rope but decision to clean up behind firs kept everyone on the entrance side of the chasm. The doors to the "archery rooms" were crafted in a way, that should they not be opened already, it would be easy to overlook them - a hidden entrance for the hidden guarding compartments.
Rooms itself, though, were nothing special. The south door slid aside to reveal a narrow passage that descends a flight of stairs into a small chamber. Light from outside slanted into the room through a series of narrow embrasures (15 feet or more above the floor). The area is littered with well-gnawed bones, cobwebs, and rat droppings. Poorly cured hide blankets are carelessly scattered over the floor.
The room to the north was "decorated" in the same manner, though is bigger and with additional passage leading further north.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ramious looks about. He tries to take note of the way the secret doors are crafted so he can try to recognize similar ones in the future. He then heads north down the passage, his eyes looking for anything unusual.
Quiet and very perceptive Ramious investigated the passage up to another small room eastern wall of which was definitely the secret one and could be easily slid aside.
He turns to the rest of the group making the universal "shhh" hand motion. He moves away from the door. "Voices. Shall we...uh...bust on through, or do you want to go another way?"

Leon pulls out a second rope. "That is why I suggested tieing two together." He reminds Ramious, handing over the second rope.

"Probably a good plan." Leon agrees. He takes a moment to cast darkvision on himself, then goes to help with checking the archery slit areas.

Ramious shrugs and heads south.

Seeing that they are probably not returning to the bridge, at least yet, Leon falls back to his normal rear guard position as they continue onward.

Ramious listens. If he doesn't hear any noise from beyond, he eases the secret door aside.

He does. The door is a solid rock, but careful listening allows to hear some noises that sound like a talking, though words can not be made out.
