Fifty-two criminals, armed with pickaxes, hammers, and clubs, headed down the mountain. 20 kilometers down the mountain they came to a road, south to the village of Toka, and north to the village of Kaina.
At a rest house on the road there was food. The criminals ate it, but they were wary of their pursuers and headed north without much rest.

In other words, the bridge is no longer a bridge, and the five players are stranded on the bridge.
The water is under our feet whether we go to the bridge or not. It is the Ermee River. The river is narrow in that area, but the current is fast and deep.

It may be a clichéd expression, but they both fainted, screaming like squashed frogs. Since I had dropped them on their backs, they would not have died even if they had not been able to passively catch themselves.
