Because you have darkvision you see that two brutish humanoids stand watch on the other side of the crevasse. They snarl a challenge, revealing yellowed tusks, and prepare to hurl javelins at you!
Let's roll initiative! :D

Slate was just about to chime in on the rope bridge situation when Iroona screamed out about the orcs. "We'll handle them like we handled their friends outside by the power of Talos the Untamed!"
"...Debts must always be paid, sometimes in more than blood and gold. But this is Ordo Ursa," Ren places his hand on Erakas's chest, right where the Dragonborn's heart is. "Right here. And it always has been and always will be. Don't ever forget that. Because I won't."

OOC: To be honest I did not expect the baboon to obey Rowena at all and also Rowena asked it to climb up... wanting it to peek through one of the arrow slits and not the door but talking to animals is always a bit dicey so I can see the confusion there LoL. Mostly her action was just to share what she can do and establish ways characters with various talents and magic items might possibly work together. I did love Master of Nashbea Tower reaction to it though, taking it all in stride...
Story of Flint's life lmao :P Magic works for him, he just really isn't a master of it...more a bullshitter of magic lol

Ok so thanks to Iroona's warning you know that there are orcs across the way - however only Vonman and Iroona can actually see them (because darkvision) they are about 45 feet from you. (So I believe ranged attacks from anyone that can't see them at the moment are at disadvantage.)
Rowena finds a cozy spot to sit down and cuts off about 3 foot of her rope and ties one end of it to her maul and the other end around her wrist to secure it so that later should she drop it etc. she won't lose it... as it will be more or less attached to her.
She turns to the dwarf Vonman, "are you a fool or practically minded dwarf? Look at the darkness in here, I'm no better than half-blind. What bloody use is the wand to me... to us if I cannot see to use it? Now take it, and use it to cover my beautiful bum!!!" She extends her hand with the wand in it to give to it to him...
OOC: Not sure if that counts as Rowena action no worries let the others have a chance instead Rowena hogging the spotlight who went first last time so more than willing to go to the end of the line to be fair so Iroona is up...
OOC > Is Rowena doing this as her combat action? Not entirely out of character to stop and have tea amidst the battle, but...
Iroona will step over to Sir Aldon, and cast Light on one of his crossbow bolts. "Shoot it that way!" she points across the chasm along the bridge at one of the orcs. Then she hides behind Slate again.

she/her Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands.
OOC: What would have Rowena besides what I outlined, she cannot see the orcs to use the wand nor does she want to risk trying to cross the bridge and risk losing her weapon without securing it first and offing the wand to someone to use it to help provide her with cover fire when she is ready to charge the bridge and try to cross... so for me, yes that is her action since there is little she can do except scream taunts and she already used her best taught. So please free to continue initiative order, thanks. :)
"What a shot." Flint smacks Sir Aldon on his leg. "Keep up the good work, and we'll get out of this alive, we will."

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Like a slow arc of lighting, Sir Aldon's bolt soars across the gap misses both orcs completely and slams in to the wall behind them. They are now currently backlit by the glowing crossbow bolt on the ground behind them. They seem surprised at first and they are gripping what appear to be javelins, and are prepared to throw them.
The parties excitement is short lived however as one orc grabs the glowing bolt and throws it in to the chasm between you. It slowly tumbles about 200 feet before disappearing in to what appears to be swift moving water.
Now from out of the darkness, a javelin flies through the air at Sir Aldon.
Slate growled as the light source disappeared, <goblin> "Foul smelling rotworms, come meet the Scion of Talos the Untamed!"she called across the chasm to them as she cast light on her Warhammer so the group would once again have something to light up the darkness. She then moved toward the bridge and stood with her shield raised and warhammer at the ready.

Rowena Initiative 15
Ok so thanks to Iroona's warning you know that there are orcs across the way - however only Vonman and Iroona can actually see them (because darkvision) they are about 45 feet from you. (So I believe ranged attacks from anyone that can't see them at the moment are at disadvantage.)

(Sorry, forgot that it was Sir Aldon's turn)
"Thank you, Lady Iroona. I shall put your light to good use." And then he aims his crossbow towards the orcs.
