It's slow going, especially after you get out of the glow of Dieter's light. Infravision might help with heat sources but the bridge emits none, so Furuk's vision is severely muted and Grimes is effectively blind.
You shuffle along, holding the rope "railing" and trying to be quiet and stealthy. The bridge dips, as rope bridges do, and is starting to ascend as you pass the halfway point, when the half-orc sees something ahead. There are blobs of heat that go in and out of vision, as if some creatures are walking back and forth behind large objects.
I assume you stop to asses and take some...

Furuk stops and tries to focus ahead on the movement. He tries to identify the creatures if there are any.
"It looks like the bridge is holding up Grimes. Let's head back and get the others."

No way to identify the creatures from this distance.

Grimes - Fighter
Grimes agrees with Furuk. "yeah, let's go get the others, and maybe we can cook up a surprise for whoever's on the other side."
Grimes will cautiously backtrack, keeping Furuk close at hand.

Grimes - Fighter
Grimes says "I'm not one for planning, I'm for DOING! But even I think rushing in to this may be a bit foolish. I think perhaps we should sneak across the bridge in the dark, not in one big mass, but spaced out or two at a time, and assemble at the end. Once we are all together, we spread out and hit whatever's over there with Dieter's light wand, and then we jump em.'!"
Grimes shrugs and says sheepsihly... "that's all I've got. I just want to kill em, though. Whomever they are."

Yes, it may be prudent to not have everyone on the bridge at the same time.

"That sounds good Grimes. I'm ready to head back there when everyone is ready."
