I say we go into the last room then throw the rock at the tiles, and hide behind the door in case something bad happens.

Yes, do we use a small rock for this? Or a large rock? I’m thinking a large rock, maybe we can find a boulder near the cave ins that we can throw onto the bricks

A bolder is probably to big, we should start with a brick or something of similar size.

[March]

Making sure to be well out of the hallway you pick up a moderately sized piece of rock and toss it randomly into the hall tiles...
The flying brick hits a 'human tile' and leaves it shifted in the direction of the bricks weight, as if balanced atop something.
"...I do not trust this hall. Per-haps it would be better to come back to it at a later time.", "It's not going anywhere." Makdt assures
You go to check the caved in hallway; it appears to be a continuation of the hallway to the north, at the far end you see a steep falloff like a section of the hall is missing...

[Superdorf]

Approach the edge (with much caution). Can we see what's on the other side? Can we see how deep the drop-off is?

[March]

You approach the edge cautiously; there is a carved descending vertical winze here, the far side is a smooth rock face descending into the depths below and curving up to join the ceiling while the near side is a sheer drop of equal smoothness, the east side is a continuation of the 'pillar' pattern of the hall rotated to follow the winze from near wall to far while the west side of the winze has had a wooden structure installed complete with a ladder descending downwards.
The bottom is beyond your range of vision. (over 30ft of darkvision)

[Superdorf]

Does the ladder look like it could support our weight?

[March]

The ladder looks sturdy enough to use with little worry.
"Deeper often means more danger, I don't know if should attempt to go down there as we are..." Makdt comments.

[Superdorf]

"Hm... per-haps not." (Head back to that tiled hallway.)
"I do won-der why all the wood in this place is so well pre-served... I find it un-canny, really."

[March]

"Hm... per-haps not."
You head back to that tiled hallway.
"I do won-der why all the wood in this place is so well pre-served... I find it un-canny, really.", "No clue, always find strange things in the ruins."

[Superdorf]

Grab, like, a thirty, forty-pound chunk of rock, and heave it down the middle of the hall. Aim for a "yarn" tile.

[March]

You find and grab a large chunk of rock from the nearby rubble and heave it down the middle of the hall towards a 'yarn tile'; it clatters onto the tile solidly and the tile remains steadfast and unmoving.

[Superdorf]

Great, now we have something to work with! Human tiles are wobbly, yarn tiles are not. Let's double-check that real quick, then move on to monster tiles.
Select ten rocks, between five and ten pounds in weight. Chuck three rocks at various yarn tiles, and three more rocks at various human tiles. Then chuck four rocks at various monster tiles.

[March]

You pick up ten rocks of various sizes and chuck them systematically at the tiles; each of the three 'yarn tile' you hit are equally solid as the first, each 'humans tile' wobbles and tilts toward the rock, each of the four 'monster tile' hit sinks evenly but very slightly.

[Superdorf]

"I think... we can safe-ly walk on the yarn-patterned tiles. I will try."
Place a foot onto a yarn tile. Shift our weight onto it slowly, so as not to fall if the tile drops out from under us or something...

[March]

"I think... we can safe-ly walk on the yarn-patterned tiles. I will try." you say
You place your foot onto a 'yarn tile' and slowly shift you weight onto it; it remains stable and solid until you are fully standing on it... and nothing happens.
