Of course they'll be careful. Call this a calculated risk, if you will. Jim for one has a feeling Poe is very much like him in that aspect, which is why he likes that it's him taking that trip down that pit with him first. Better than someone who might panic halfway through. Poe can keep calm in a dangerous and risky situation, it looks like, and has enough presence of mind to think of a solution fast.

"Yeah, I know," he nods as he glances at Beverly, then Bones, offering a comforting smile. Okay, not that comforting considering the situation, but still.

"We'll get in touch once we're down there," glancing at Loki. "And thanks for the input. We'll save you a dwarf, if we find any."

Huffing a chuckle, Jim shakes his head and walks towards the edge of the hole. He tugs on the rope to make sure it's secure, then drops the other end down the pit, testing the eight and the carabiner again before he takes a couple of steps down the edge. Nodding at Poe, he waits until he joins him before descending farther down, one careful step after the other.
