You have no issues breaking the last bound woman free. There is only five of them so getting four of them on the disk is simple enough the fifth one will have to walk of be carried out.
If the last woman can walk well enough, Bastion will nod before making sure everyone is ready to go, if not, he'll ask if the jackal could be convinced to let her ride for now.
However things work out, he'll say, quietly enough to be sure it won't carry, "We make straight for the room with the stairs right back the way we came, chances are they won't take kindly to us rescuing these five, so move swiftly, but be ready for the attack when it comes."
Bastion will take point, with a readied action to strike at any hostile creature that comes close.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Yes, Bastion that's a good idea I have a little something for the human female in my bag I would like to give to her first," he says.
Rivoril, walks over to the naked female woman. He reaches for something inside his large sack. Then, pulls out a Monks outfit holds it up to the woman. Which, only consisted of a long brown robe. "I cannot, think of a more appropriate time, place or purpose in which to use this disguise. Try this on woman before you leave. It should suffice to keep you covered from both the cold. Also, prying eyes from the male of your species," he says, then gives it to her to try on.
(This is in case Susan hasn't got anything available for the woman to wear.)
He, waits for her to try on the Monks outfit first. After, doing that he insists on moving on ahead in front of the woman. Rivoril, has his composite longbow out and ready. Trying to move along silently as possible.
Katharina looks back impatiently into the room. She knows time is prescious for their group. Leaning against the wall she allows the others to pass her by and resumes her spot at the rear.

You move the women carefully to the area where the stairs has collapsed. Your rope is still hanging there how do you proceed as you can tell none of the women appear strong enough to climb the rope.
Bastion looks around to be sure the room is clear before addressing the others in a voice he hopes won't carry too far. "Okay, here is what I suggest. Avan, if you could go up first with Rivoril and Katharina, secure the top. I'll hold this entry whatever comes with the rest. If it is clear up top, we can then use the ropes to start lifting the captives up, then the jackal, followed by the rest of us. I'll go up last. I suspect that I will by then have reason to want to get out very quickly, so if you could all pitch in to help haul me up a lot faster than I could climb on my own it would be appreciated."
"There are a number of ways for this to go wrong, so if anyone has a better idea or suggested refinements, I'd love to hear it."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rivoril, hears what Bastion has to say then agrees. " Ok, I will climb the rope. Then, once up above will search for any inherent danger. Then, help secure the top," He says.
Avan transforms back into human form and answers, "My spells may go to waste, but I think this is the best course of action. However I should go third last to stay beside my jackal. Is there anything to loop the rope around up there? Create a makeshift pulley so we can help from the bottom too?"
That's an open question to the GM too.
If it all goes well Avan takes 10 on Use rope for a 13 and Climb for a 10.
Katharina nods at the suggestion. " Makes sense. " She grasps the rope and climbs rapidly to the top. Upon reaching the top she draws her kukris again. Walking quietly she moves a short distance down the hall to watch for any danger approaching. If the area seems clear i will assist the others in climbing out of the hole.
"We need to get three people to the top before we send up the women, we can make a cradle for them to sit in or slip a foot into to help them up from there and the other to keep watch. I volunteer to keep watch. Once we're up there, boost them up as far as you can. It will work better with the strongest at the top, and the tallest remaining person to boost making the distance as short as possible."
In whatever order makes sense, Kix will make his way up the rope carefully, his raven already at the top.
OOC - Taking 10 , or 20 if needed to climb. (+0)

It is a slow process getting the women up to the top but soon you are done and the rest of the party comes up. Soon you are headed towards the entrance of the cave. I need spot and listen checks from everyone.
Arms sore from the unaccustomed physical effort, Kix and his familiar keep watching & listening for threats.

Katharina stands aside and lets everyone file past. Once she is sure that all are accounted for she will bring up the rear quietly, listening for any sign of trouble.
Avan is mostly relieved that they were not attacked while split at the staircase, but the hair on the back of his neck stands as if we're being followed, and he glances back every few seconds.
As they pass by the Stone of Alarm, he says the command to deactivate it and takes it. As the passages get larger, he mounts up bareback on his jackal so he can dedicate himself to looking back.

Avan-bear nods to Bastion and he runs a paw gently along the jackal's snout as the woman is placed atop him.
Avan-bear then scratches the ground in front of Rivoril and points a paw to the teens at the rear of the group.

Bastion thinks for a moment, "Take the Rod, extend it in the doorway until it jams, it should do for a pulley."
Yes something like that could work and is allowed
