She says, "You are so gracious, I am, I-- am afraid of heights. You are so brave."

Aggrammar smiles warmly at Kamalla. "Aye, lass, it's natural to be afraid o' heights. But facin' yer fears, that's what makes us stronger. Sometimes, the greatest treasures lie beyond the things that scare us most."
He secures his gear and double-checks the knot on the rope, making sure it’s tight and secure. "Ye don't have to be doin' this alone. We're all here to support each other."
With a reassuring nod, Aggrammar steps aside, ready to assist Kamalla as she begins her descent into the well. He keeps a close eye on her, offering encouragement and ensuring her safety as she bravely faces her fear.
Kamalla goes down next and the finally the rest of you climb down.
Once on the bottom of the well you can see gold, silver and copper easy to find on the surface but you can tell there is more under a layer of dirt, dust and sand. Poking around with a shovel should net a great deal of treasure.
"Does anyone have a spade? I seem to have lost mine."
Zairiah gets out the shovel that they used to bury the bodies and starts digging for treasure, letting others trade off with her if they want to, but likely plenty to do for everyone, pulling stuff out of the dirt pile, cleaning it off, etc.
Frackit begins to look about rhe well studying it.
Frackit the walls look safe and the floor is caked long dry clay which looks normal for a dry well bed.

You spend a turn and you find about 1/5th of what you feel you can find because you still see lots of shiny shiny metal in the well.

Aggramamr will first keep watch for a while - for him as a dwarf, it is not natural that treasure is just lying around, so he is suspicious and expecting to be jumped by something at any moment, either from behind a wall or from under the pile of coins.
Nura holds up her digging long enough to carefully inspect the coinage. Is it real?

Fadilah decides to stay at the top of the well (how many people can fit in a well and dig out the bottom, anyway?) and keeps an eye out for trouble.
Well, after inspection they do look real and are made from the precious metals they look to be. There are a lot more to dig up and you surmise it will take another 4 rounds of time to get them all plus there looks to be other stuff too.
Zairiah keeps working.
Aggrammar keeps watching, and also starts evaluating if they will be able to carry all of that up, or if they might need to do several trips up and down the rope.

Frackit will look around. He wasnt a strong sort. He did however come from a family of tinkerers. So he contemplated the rope and the rest.
" Did we have baskets in the caravan? Or buckets? We can get a large one to be lowered. We then fill it and hual it up like water!" Frackit says witha large smile on his face.
In total you are able to find 5,243 copper bits, 3,365 silver dirhams,
and 682 gold dinars. You also can start to see the bones of people who were here previously and uncover a
dented bronze lamp; a cracked helmet; a barber's kit which is made from the supplest kidskin; the hilts and rusted blades of
four daggers and scimitars; a number of corroded metal
buckles; a tortoise shield; and the skeletal remains of at least five humans, their cracked skulls and bones mingled with the network of secondary roots belonging to the pale ivy carpeting the stone walls of the well.
As Zairiah is collecting things to be transported up, she remarks
This barber's kit still looks and feels finely made. I wonder if it is magical. Most of the rest of this seems broken or damaged, and the bodies have clearly been here for a while.

Round 2
Zairiah is halfway up the rope,
"Kamalla, what are you doing?! Climb!"
Zairiah keeps climbing, thinking she can help more by shooting from above, or helping to haul people up.
Nura grabs Kamalla by the shoulders. "We don't have time for this! Climb!"
Paritosh climbs when his turn comes.

Kamalla does not seem to have registered what Nura said and continues to dig in the bottom of the well.
"What are you after Kamalla?"
"The plant must have intoxicated the lass" - Aggrammar gathered - "We need to drag her out" - he added, keeping watch in case the vine decides to attack them any further.
"See if we can wrap the rope around her and they can haul her out!"
