We didn't move out yet. Eku is not coming she is staying behind to help save the sick and dying with Thor and Undril. You only have Panwan coming with you. You do notice a rank pin attached to his robes. It is the rank of Vindicator. He has no military rank except "Scout" but is high ranking within the Order though. You would know what that rank is.
Just to clarify. The Order of the Gauntlet is a Worldwide faction that has ranks within the faction. There are five ranks. But they also have military ranks as well. You can be a soldier for the Order and you would just have a military rank and not an Order rank. But Ranking members of the Order wear little pins on their left shoulder indicating what rank they are within the Order.
The Commander is a Commander in the Military and also a Righteous Hand (rank 5) in the Order. The highest rank possible. He has done a lot for the order and is known worldwide for his deeds within the order. consider him a Legend within the order that is why a lot of people followed him into the jungle. It's an honor to serve with him and people jump at the chance but a lot has changed since they made it into the jungle. The Order was not prepared for the Jungle and the jungle is kicking their ass. Yellow isn't part of the military, she is just a member of the Order here on assignment to help out the Commander. The only other Ranking members of the order here are Captain Firebeard, Captain Salhana, Undril, Panwan, Sister Cyas, and a few soldiers spattered in. Ranking members of the order are a higher rank then plain military personnel and the military will always look towards a ranking member of the order for direction if something happens.
I need the party marching order before we actually leave. Panwan would be up front following the trail to lead you through the jungle. How do you wish to proceed after that?
Panwan leads you into the jungle and you spend most of the morning chopping through heavy brush and vines. The sun shines down on you all day and you continue to drink from your waterskins to stay hydrated. Every now and then Panwan pulls out the orb and says a few words and the arrow appears inside the orb pointing in the opposite direction you are traveling, satisfied he puts it away each time and continues.
You stop during the afternoon and eat some rations and take a short rest to regain your strength (You can do something for that short rest if you wish or just rest) before heading onward. As the sun begins it's downward journey you can hear large dinosaurs in the distance bellowing their various challenges to the other dinosaurs. You are sure you heard a Tyrannosaurus at one point close by and Panwan changed the direction of your travel to avoid it.
Panwan has set a rigorous pace and those not used to jungle travel are having a hard time keeping up with him and you find yourselves drinking more water than normal and your breathing gets faster as you try and get more oxygen into your lungs. Every now and then he will stop and look at his map but you guys figure out that he is doing that for your benefit so you may catch your breath.
You come across a small ravine and there is a shoddy rope bridge 30 feet in length crossing the ravine. As you look into the ravine you can see a river 40 feet below with a heavy current. The sides of the ravine are smooth and don't look to be climbable. Panwan inspects the bridge and frowns.
"We are going to have to go across one at a time. This rope doesn't look too sturdy."He swings his legs over the rope and hangs underneath it and begins shimming across the rope. As he gets towards the center the rope begins to dip down about 10' but does not break. He continues to shimmy and makes it across. Panwan stands on the other side and yells to the group.
"Slow and steady. Be careful. I'll be right back." He heads into the jungle while pulling out a handaxe.
I'll let you roll either an acrobatics check or an athletics check. Your choice. Good Luck :-)
Ezio walks past the others to look at the rope bridge and the ravine below. "I will go last. This rope bridge would not be difficult for me to cross and should it break I'll simply jump across. Should anyone fall, I can slow their descent so they reach the water unharmed, though I can only do this 2 or 3 times until I will need a short rest to recover."
Vyth grabs onto the rope and copies what Panwan did and begins to shimmy across the rope. It dips towards the middle and begins to shake from side to side but finally, Vyth makes it across and gets off the rope. On the other side is a little clearing about 20 feet wide before the jungle "wall" starts up again. You can see where Panwan chopped at some vines to enter the jungle.
Krav being a bit heavier then the others makes the rope dip a little earlier than the middle but it holds his weight as he is able to make it across to safety.
Yellow finally makes her way up to the ravine and watches as Krav crosses. "That doesn't look very reliable," she observes. "Toruk, didn't I see you pick up a rope out of the adventurers' trunk? If we tie that around the waist of each person before they cross and hold onto one end on this side, at least they won't be lost to the current if they fall into the river." She looks at Ezio. "If you can slow their descent, we could pull them toward the cliff face and they can climb back up as we pull the rope."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ezio looks at the tabaxi and then back down into the ravine, "That's a feasible proposition and could very well save the life of any who fell, who knows what dangers await at the end of that current?" When Yellow moves away, Ezio looks after her pensively as if reassessing her. He then looks around for any trees or other sturdy points near the rope bridge to tie his own rope to.

Perception (if needed): 3
From your vantage point, you don't really notice any trees that would safely hold the rope
Upon getting across to the other side he sits off the path watching the jungle where Panwan entered. Prior to settling down to watch the jungle he searches the area around for anything out of the ordinary.
If we're moving along and no one took anything else I'll have Vyth snag the dagger and crowbar along with 10 rations and 12 insect salve.

Yellow will start out in the rear, I think.
Kaslo will not be in the front. He also won’t be in the rear. Some where nice and protected in the middle.
Krav will go behind Kaslo, but before Yellow.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Ezio takes a rain catcher, a waterskin, and some the insect repellant then falls in line next to Krav.

After observing Panwan's movements, Vyth will follow along imitating Panwan's movements as best as he can.

Krav gulps and grabs the rope.
"I may need that spell," he says to Ezio, and starts shimmying across, mostly relying on his strength.
