Yellow nods, looking around as well. "The foul creature was crafty, but we were able to thwart him." She looks down at her hands and realizes she's holding a length of rope. "Krav, I'm not sure we can trust these two newcomers. I'm going to lower a rope to them, but watch my back, will you?" She nods at Kaslo. "You as well?" Yellow walks over to stand above Drita. She throws about half the coil over the cliff and wraps the part she is holding around her waist, bracing herself to withstand their weight.
Krav nods, drawing his greatsword and holding it point down in front of him, so the tip of its blade just barely rests on the ground. He gazes calmly down at Drita and Lethandaar, obviously ready to fight, if need be.
I was to lead a mission to gather intel on a graveyard located south-west from base camp. Our guide, Eku got us lost and we found ourselves at a yuan-ti city/village but ended up making friends with them. I found out they strongly dislike the undead just like we do. They helped us get back on track. Eventually we reached a cliff that we needed to climb down. I led the way but slipped halfway down and fell unconcious. I woke up later, not quite sure how much time had passed, and saw everyone else's dead bodies laying beside me. The only body missing was Eku's. After that I healed myself and quickly moved on attempting to complete the objective but I got lost and you know the rest...
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
After the necromancer falls, Ezio straightens, sheathing his sword. He walks over to where Kvothe is searching the body, with Taggart nearby, and picks up the man's staff before stowing between the coils of rope about his chest with the berserker axe. "I can identify any items of note while we rest. This island is the most defensible spot we're likely to ever find, for what could that did this wretch." he says indicating the corpse, "If everyone is in agreement, we'll rest here for two hours. That will give us time to tend our wounds, gather and search these corpses, identify any magical items, disable this summoning circle, plan our next move--" Ezio cuts off as he sees an unknown person join them on the plateau. He walks over to the group, "You slew a water spirit under water? Rather impressive." He says as Krav relates his struggles.
After listening to the newcommer's exchange with Yellow, he says, "This jungle has been the death of many in even my short time here. You said your guide was Eku? We know her, the dwarves even traveled with her as their guide. Should we survive this mission of the Order's, a rare thing, it seems, I'd like to see her again, she was quite...intriguing." He finishes with his customary grin. "Speaking of intriguing, your friend seems to be an aasimar. The gods seem to be watching this expedition of ours rather closely. It don't blame them, we seem to be a fire sale on souls." After relating the plan of resting on the plateau to the others, Ezio wanders over to the summoning circle seeking to find a way to safely disable. After a couple of glances at it, he calls to Panwan asking for help.

I rolled with advantage assuming Panwan would help. Of course, DM call on which number to use.
What is your name? You said you can identify items?
I picked up a few items on my way while I was lost, would you mind checking them for me? I don't have them on me, there back on the shore over there.
(talking to Ezio and pointing at my gear back on the shore)
Eku was an interesting person. Apparently the gods put her here for a specific purpose. According to what she's told me she's been alive for over 3,000 years!
During the rest period Kvothe approaches Panwan and says “that cleft in the other room looks and smells like it connects with the other world. Do you have the ability to help us block it, or should we not worry?”
"Ezio Miradark. I find myself the leader of this band of merry men. This vixen is Yellow," he says indicating the tabaxi, "the others are Krav, Kaslo, Taggart, Kvothe, and Panwan, our guide." Ezio indicates each person as he names them. "I can magically identify your items when there's time, though I won't be swimming back to the shore until we are leaving this place. If you'd like the identified while we rest here, you'll have to get them over here. In a exchange, you must hear out our mission. If you are beholden to the Order as we are, at the moment, we could use your help in completing the task they have given us."
"Chevall Yellow on the Sea," Yellow says, giving Ezio a sideways glance. "And that is Vindicator Panwan," she continues to Lethandaar. "We are the only two Order members in this party." Her tone of voice toward the new cleric is much warmer now. "I'm sorry to hear of your difficulties. Ubtao created a difficult maze here in Chult, but those of us worthy find our way with his guidance." She makes a small gesture with her hand and kisses her fingers to the sky.
As Drita runs up to her and shakes her hand, Yellow takes a half step backward, growling low and whipping her tail back and forth violently. She watches the aasimar warily as she continues on. After a few seconds, she turns to Kaslo. "Will you help me gather the dead so that we may pray over them?"
As Kvothe searches the Necromancers body he finds a gold ring on his skeletal right hand. He also finds 12 Platinum, 167 gold, 82 silver, and 101 copper pieces. He had a small pack on his back that has 4 days food and a waterskin, There was also a components pouch on his belt.
Panwan walks over to Ezio and helps investigate the summoning circle. "It's a nice one."He says "Those are eternal flames, you won't be able to dispel them, you're not powerful enough and my magic isn't geared towards that." Panwan walks over towards the newcomers and listens to Lethandaar's tale. "You will come with us Chevall, your mission is no longer important. I am Vindicator Panwan."He points to Yellow. "That is Chevall Yellow by the Sea. You will accompany us." He turns towards Drita and smiles.
The party realizes this is probably the first time they ever saw Panwan have a genuine smile on his face. "A pleasure Madam." He says with a bow before walking away.
Kvogthe walks over to Panwan and asks "that cleft in the other room looks and smells like it connects with the other world. Do you have the ability to help us block it, or should we not worry?”
Panwan looks confused. "You mean the Chasm? A cleft is something people have on their chin. And no I cannot close a Chasm made by mother nature. I am powerful but not that powerful."Panwan shakes his head and chuckles to himself before walking to the edge of the cliff and sitting down with his legs dangling over the edge.
"Well, then, we can inform the Order of this circle and they can guard or destroy it as they please and are able." Leaving the others to entertain the newcomers, Ezio goes about treating his injuries. Working feeling back into his cold-numbed hands at one of the giant pyres. Afterwards he sits away from the summoning circle and ritual casts an identify spell on the staff he recovered from the necromancer. He then casts the spell on any other seemingly magical items he is brought.
He discovers the staff is a Staff of Defense and the ring that Kvothe discovers is a Ring of Feather Falling. He returns the ring to Kvothe and informs him of its function. He also describes the function of the staff to any who are around and holds onto it.
With Kaslo's help, Yellow gathers the dead into two groups: One group of those with the emblem of Ubtao around their necks and a second group of those who do not. The necromancer is left to lay where he fell. Similarly to what she did in the clearing, Yellow draws a spiral around the bodies using her longsword, including those without the sign of Ubtao in the final loop. Instead of creating a pyramid of stones, she draws a maze in the dirt above the group of Ubtao followers. She prays to Ubtao aloud, not speaking quietly, but not purposely involving everyone on the mountain. Her words at the beginning are very similar to what she prayed in the clearing. She, of course, doesn't speak personally about any of the fallen as she had about Vyth, but instead thanks Ubtao for allowing her to get vengeance for these and those they found in the other room. She again dedicates herself to the cause of ridding Chult of the undead menace before ending her prayer and walking away from the bodies. The second half of the two hours, she rests somewhat near Panwan, but separate as well.
She stands about five and a half feet tall, her hair long and white like snow, glowing and reflecting the light off it. Her skin is golden in color and has an aura to it, except her hands which have that same celestial aura but have turned black up to her elbow. Her eyes are white, and have a faint glow to them.
To Krav... "I don't know anything about this jungle. I just arrived here. But maybe Lethandaar might know." Drita sees the hope in his face. "I am sure he is safe."
Yellow nods, looking around as well. "The foul creature was crafty, but we were able to thwart him." She looks down at her hands and realizes she's holding a length of rope. "Krav, I'm not sure we can trust these two newcomers. I'm going to lower a rope to them, but watch my back, will you?" She nods at Kaslo. "You as well?" Yellow walks over to stand above Drita. She throws about half the coil over the cliff and wraps the part she is holding around her waist, bracing herself to withstand their weight.
Krav nods, drawing his greatsword and holding it point down in front of him, so the tip of its blade just barely rests on the ground. He gazes calmly down at Drita and Lethandaar, obviously ready to fight, if need be.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Thank you!

So you are from the order too? Were you sent here on a mission?
My mission failed miserably, everybody died except for our guide. I don't know what happened to her...
I tried to keep going but I ended up getting lost and I found her Lethandaar will motion to Drita and discovered your campsite.
We saw someone had made tracks leading from there to the cave and we kept pushing forward until we found you guys too.
So what happened up here?
By the way I'm Lethandaar and this is Drita.
He's speaking very fast and excited happy to run into other people especially some who came from the Order of the Gauntlet.
Yellow smiles obligingly at Lethandaar. "Who was the officer in charge of your failed mission?"
I was...
Lethandaar looks down solumnly, feeling ashamed for letting such a thing happen.

“Well hello Ezio, Kvothe, Krav, Kaslo, Yellow, Tagamet! As Lethandaar said my name is Drita! It is a pleasure to meet you all.”
Drita runs about, shaking everyone’s hand, and getting just too close, making everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
“I am no member of this Order of yours. But I don’t actually know where I am so I’m glad to stick around for a while if you’ll have me.”

After sheathing his sword, Krav shook Drita's hand gently, always worried about hurting someone else with his strong grip.
Present: Krav helps Yellow as necessary, then walks over to Lethandaar.
"Hello," he says gruffly to the elf.
"I am Krav. Sorry to hear about what happened to your group."
Krav pauses for an awkward moment, then changes the subject.
"So, umm...Did you ever see a human named 'Thor' with the order or with Eku?" Krav asks hopefully.
And that's all I have to say about that.
I just want to post the description for Drita
She stands about five and a half feet tall, her hair long and white like snow, glowing and reflecting the light off it.
