Geradin seemed uncertain. He held up a massive fist to keep the others from moving ahead just yet, and he stepped forward as he gazed about the cavern. Above them, the domed ceiling looked like an upside-down valley, the length of which stretching far out and into the darkness, even past their enhanced visions. Below them, the chasm seemed even larger. A sheer drop that spelled doom for any who might slip down there. 

Geradin stroked his beard, looking around as he pondered a moment. "Aye," he said to An-Hasst. "And if something were to happen to me, refer to the lad there. He grew up with my kin," he said. When no one spoke up, the lad was revealed to be Beren, who stood with his arms crossed as he marveled at the ceiling. "I might know more than the average man, but I can't speak to the stone like you." Beren replied to Geradin, who huffed and gazed into the chasm. 

"Seems to me that way is about...eh, seven thousand fathoms down." The Dwarf said as if he was reciting what he had for breakfast, and then tapped the stone under his feet. Alice and Settionne would understand this as 8 miles, meaning the sheer drop. Behind them, they'd heard the hissing Argon say outloud. "Is that a long way?" 

"Seems like it," Beren said. As if to prove their points, Calanon loosed an arrow from his recurve bow out into the darkness, past the bridge that lay ahead. It took a few moments, but just as the arrow had left their eyesight, they heard a 'tck' as if it struck stone. The arrow could not have gone downward too far, which meant the bridge led to something. Brogach the Elk huffed much like Geradin did, stamping back and forth behind the group. 

Geradin nodded, the piece in his mind coming together. "Ah, I knew the bridge looked sturdy enough to walk on. But I couldn't see where it led. Now I know it's safe if there's a stable base for it to end up." 
Geradin tapped the haft of his hammer onto the stone thrice while he intoned a prayer, and the head of his weapon began to glow faintly, providing a bit more light.
