Though there are a few dicey moments, Wick manages to successfully navigate the 100-foot descent without incident or injury. Due to his focus on the climb, it is not until he safely reaches the bottom of the shaft that he becomes aware of the droning of MANY insects from somewhere deeper the mine.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Grigor's athletics check: 4 + 2
Once at the bottom (assuming he makes it safely), Grigor will stay close to the landing area while any remaining party members climb down, and begin casting his gaze around the mine, searching for inspiration as to how the buzzjewels might best be corralled without being harmed or agitated.
Wick, Warren, and Grigor have all safely descended the rope. Raja will have done so, but, as Guidance has a range of Touch, I'll assume he is descending last and wait for the checks of Griffen and Caldath (unless either or both intend to remain in the upper levels for any reason). Though, if Raja wishes to descend and leave the last two to fend for themselves, that's ok too.

[OOC: I will assume that the party was descending the elevator shaft one at a time for safety and thus Caldath's fall will not risk knocking anyone else down.]
As he descends, sweat begins to accumulate on Caldath's palms, causing his grip to slip. For just an instant, he dangles by one hand before plummeting down the final 60 feet of the shaft.
Bouncing along the walls of the shaft, though painful, provides enough disruption to prevent the lengthy fall from being fatal. However, the Halfling hits the ground hard.
Raja will cast Guidance on anyone attempting to climb down one at a time, so they can add 1d4 to their check.
Guidance roll to Wick's athletics' roll of 8: 2

Raja's athletics check (after everyone else has gone down)
8
Warren's Athletics check: 19
Don't forget to add your own guidance bonus!
Warren safely descends to the bottom of the shaft.
Wick walks forward into the mine a few feet, confident in his approach as his eyes take in the area.
Ignore
I didn't think I could cast Guidance on myself. TIL.
Athletics 11 (1d4+8)

Caldath Athletics: 3 + 1
[OOC: I will assume that the party was descending the elevator shaft one at a time for safety and thus Caldath's fall will not risk knocking anyone else down.]
As he descends, sweat begins to accumulate on Caldath's palms, causing his grip to slip. For just an instant, he dangles by one hand before plummeting down the final 60 feet of the shaft.
Caldath falls for 20 damage.
Bouncing along the walls of the shaft, though painful, provides enough disruption to prevent the lengthy fall from being fatal. However, the Halfling hits the ground hard.
Griffen's athletics check (with Guidance): 22
Though he makes it most of the way, Griffen's aching fingers give out near the end of the climb. He falls for 6 damage.
Though the mine is not yet clear of its Buzzjewel infestation, the party's exploits and combat have earned them significant experience this evening.
