Unfortunately there are none currently nearby

The river enters the fissure and flows steeply down into it, yes.

Tis late morning... say about 10am.
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time. mjulius: That's how I know I'm home. Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager! Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life. Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen. Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death. Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village! Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

From the sounds of the water, and the investigations of the dwarf, you know it's actually only (at least initially from this fissure) about an 8' drop into the cave, or whatever is down there. This, in the late morning sun, is easily discernible. But also the river runs pretty quick and thus after entering the fissure it must continue downward.

The Ranger puzzles quietly for some time, staring into the fissure. I forsee a problem, my companions, if we find ourselves in need of a hasty retreat. If we enter this crevass by rope, something may remove it, and what will be our way out? Even with this in mind, would it be a good idea for someone to descend before we return our guides to their village, if only to set eyes on what awaits us? Likely nothing this close to the opening, but the rushing water could make our descent more difficult than we anticipate. I would know now before we return, in case we need to reenforce our supplies.
"Agreed, a quick scouting of below would make some sense, as well as to determine what we would need to procure in order to effect an exit from below, if it becomes necessary." He looks around the group, assessing their capabilities, but says nothing further.

Malak creeps closer towards the edge of the fissure, peering into its darkness. "Send me." He considers. "Unless Incio wants to go. He can see better in the dark. I would need a light source."
Zafalia asks the two guides to stay close and keep a lookout on their perimeter. She shrugs off her backpack and gets out her silk rope and grapple, going then to look for a point near the fissure that she can secure it to. "Whomever will be going down there, I would suggest tying a rope around your waste. If you drop in on trouble, we can pull you up quickly..."

Son of Thunder also offers his hemp rope. I only carry torches, but you are most welcome to one. Please take note of any solid walls we can attach iron spikes into.
I will give a quick tug every 30 seconds to indicate that I am O.K. & conscious. If I don’t tug every 30 seconds, pull me up. Three quick tugs will indicate trouble and I need to be pulled up.
