Nothing seems to happen.
You all enter the door that Sechirehime found. Before you is a very large room that seems to have been carved out of a cave. The walls are natural rocks, dark gray, with 20 foot ceilings. About 20 feet in there is a huge chasm, over which a narrow stone bridge connects this edge to another edge about 100 feet away. The bridge is about 5 feet wide and looks pretty sturdy, so you all could probably all cross it at once if you all went in a line. )
Spoiler for Thili and Sechirehime:
The bridge seems sturdy, so you're not worried about crossing it. The stonework seems pretty good. Nobody else appears to be waiting for you all on the other side.
Spoiler for Zal and Jasper:

As you inspect the bridge, you notice that about halfway across, there is a part of the bridge that looks just a little bit difference than the rest. It's kind of far away, but you can tell it's a very slightly raised plate, about 10 feet across, long enough so you couldn't really jump over it unless you were very, very athletic. As you look around a little more, you see up on the ceiling a long, thin slit.
Jasper looks to Zalmanni and points to the ceiling. “Do you think a rock will be enough? Those goblins must use this path to. They must have a way to cross.”

“That didn’t work. Maybe needs more weight? Let’s go get one or two dead goblins and drop them on the plate.”
Jasper heads back to the brazier room and grabs a dead goblin by the arms and starts dragging it back to the bridge. When there, Jasper lifts the goblin and lets it fall forward unto the plate. I back away as it falls.

Zal tells everyone to stand clear of the plate and the ceiling slit and then goes back and flips the switch from the circle to the sword without removing any of the weight that is on the plate.
While Jasper and Zal test out their theories, Thili tests out the newfound power flowing through her and murmurs a spell to detect magic.
Detect Magic: For the duration, you sense the presence of magic within 30 feet of you. If you sense magic in this way, you can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears magic, and you learn its school of magic, if any. The spell can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.
(Thili casts Detect Magic to try to determine if there is anything magical afoot. She does not seem to detect any type of magicks in use here.
Meanwhile, Zal goes back to the previous room and flips the switch to the 'sword' symbol. As soon as he does, in the other room, the trap springs forth, the pressure plate drops and a large Scythe comes swinging from the slit in the ceiling right onto the middle of the bridge where it would have surely done some serious damage to anyone standing in its path. The scythe swings back and forth a few times until it stops right in the middle.)
Concern furrows Thili's brow as the scythe descends, thankful they had heeded the warning from Zal and Jasper. Her caution is clear as she moves to follow after Jasper and Zal.
(As you reach the other side of the bridge, you see a slightly open door. You all peer thru it, carefully, one at a time.)
Spoiler for Sechirehime, Mika and Thili:
As you peer inside, you see a large Bugbear, a kind of super Goblin, who may be the leader. He looks pretty tough, with thick furs and armor, and a giant Warhammer over his shoulder. Next to him, a regular Goblin in robes stands before a makeshift altar, chanting words that appear to be part of a ritual.

Next to him, a regular Goblin in robes stands before a makeshift altar, chanting words that appear to be part of a ritual. You adjust your angle and see that the makeshift altar is in front of a large statue that looks like the leader of the Delian Order, Sextus Varius. You adjust your angle again, and see that there are 3 Goblins standing about on the right side of the room, talking among themselves, not really paying much attention. As you make one final adjustment, you see that on the far left corner of the room, a small girl is squatting in a small cage, her dirty, tear-stained face covered in dirt and mucus. She sobs softly, as if she has been crying for hours and hours and is just about cried out.
"Don't stop", bellows out the Bugbear at the Shaman Goblin (in common), "we're so close. Soon, this place will become a proper temple for the Goblin God, and we will consecrate it... with the blood of the innocent! Nothing will stop us!"
The Bugbear lets out an evil laugh as the Shaman Goblin continues to chant and perform the ritual.
What do you all do? Also, please give me some pre-emptive Initiative rolls just in case.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As i look through the doorway, my eyes widen. I pulled back and gesture to everyone to gather around. I take hold my amulet and place one hand on Zalmanni, “benedictio vigilanti” [Casting Vigilant Blessing] Zalmanni has advantage on next initiative roll.
Then as I’m still grasping my amulet, I raise it in the air, uttering some words, and a glow of twilight emanates outward. The glow envelopes the group and invigorates them. Jasper casts Twilight Sanctuary [All group members gain Temporary HP] 5 Channel Divinity: Twilight Sanctuary You can use your Channel Divinity to refresh your allies with soothing twilight. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and a sphere of twilight emanates from you. The sphere is centered on you, has a 30-foot radius, and is filled with dim light. The sphere moves with you, and it lasts for 1 minute or until you are incapacitated or die. Whenever a creature (including you) ends its turn in the sphere, you can grant that creature one of these benefits: Give it 1d8 temporary hit points. End one effect causing it to be charmed or frightened.

NOTE TO DM>>>Sechirehime and Mika haven’t leveled up yet. Also I think Twilight Sanctuary lasts for another 9 Character action rounds. Do you want to roll the replacement of temp hp Per turn or should I?
