Ellis would take a short rest and assist others with taking theirs by doing a Song of Rest. Besides that, he will help to boost morale and remembering what he can about the temple, assist with giving information about it.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

Ellis performance: 14
Darion History: 21 (adv from Ellis)
Erro- Though the days of travel have taken their toll on your body, you find your wounds healing nicely and feel almost back to normal. The puncture wounds themselves have begun to lighten to a pink rather than red. Your short rest is invigorating and you go out in search of your drinking buddy but are unable to spot him. Knowing the situation you assume he is assisting the army and decide to follow suit yourself. Your presence is immediately felt as you jump into the fray and begin passing along orders as well as transporting supplies. (Your efforts aid in reducing the time by 15%.)
Darion & Ellis- Your memories are partially tainted by the adverse conditions you were part of and the want of your mind to forget such memories. Still, you both relay the information you recall about the temple and are able to provide a rough outline of the rooms including the cave and river.
Ellis- Much like before you begin to use your voice and sing to embolden the troops. Instead of a stage and concert you stroll about the village singing as you walk. You see some of the troops begin tapping their feet while others hum along. Some of the villagers even take part and at the expiration of a few hours you see that the soldiers were successful in completing their preparations. (Your efforts aid in reducing the time by a further 15%.)
Everyone- You see Rawk and Kurrk fly overhead and land near the town hall. Arion, Elia, Quirin and Seresh appear to already be there while Faelar gives a few last orders before making his way. You quickly fall in behind him and enter to find Kurrk and Rawk partially out of breath from the journey. Once they slow their breathing and take a draft of water Kurrk speaks. "Their armies appear to have left within the last two days. The path the army left was imprinted in the ground from the rain two days ago so they either left in the rain or the morning after while the ground was still wet. The yuan-ti temple is guarded by 20 yuan-ti that we could see along its borders. There is no way to know how many are inside but we believe the majority of the yuan-ti left to attack Dom-Eko. If we leave soon we may be able to catch up or even surpass the yuan-ti. How have the preparations gone with the army?" he asks. Faelar takes a step forward and says, "We exceeded our own expectations, thanks to these two." he says nodding to Ellis and Erro. "They're eating now and resting but they'll be fresh to march into the night if need be." Elia, who appears to be in a much better frame of mind pipes in, "The food we prepared, it should aid in increasing their stamina. I only hope we are not too late."
Darion perks up at this news "Good, there is still a chance then!" he calls over to Robyn "Looks like more jungle trekking for us, sadly!" Robyn chirps sadly, nuzzling in to Darion.
Ellis smiles and bows at hearing that with his help, the preparations were going well. Then he was really glad to hear that they could still make it and save Dom-Eko after all. He will nod in agreement with Darion, not looking forward to jungle trekking but knew that they had to.
(Like mentioned before, Ellis will also do a short rest too.)
Rawk will grab some food and take a short rest as well. Before they leave she will find Tempest and check in on him. "We missed you on the trip. I'm glad you were able to help here though. Are you coming with us to help fight the yuan-ti?" she asks.
Rawk- Tempest smiles at your arrival and replies, "I missed you, you all. I'm glad you were able to return safely. I don't know yet what plans the council have for me with regards to your new mission. I'd like to come along but I know there is still much for me to do here. There are many wounded to tend to and Dom-Gar still needs to be protected. I'm sure we'll find out after everyone has eaten."
Though none of you are able to sleep you spend the hour eating and chatting idly. You absorb the atmosphere around you and can see the morale of the army is quite high. Many are excited to see action, while others feel a sense of pride at aiding in a rescue. The food is delectable and your stomachs stretch but not to the point of over gorging. The hour passes and you stand to your feet, the food coma still residing in your mind but you shrug it off and focus on your mission. The sun still shines high in the western sky and you watch all the soldiers collect their things preparing for the march.
You each follow suit one after the other packing your bags and weapons. You line up in the small open courtyard, which is now packed from the additional soldiers. Faelar, Quirin and Arion stand side by side in the middle while you all circle around. "The time has come. Sooner than any of us thought, but the time has come for us to attack. We fight not out of anger or pride, but for our survival. Let this day and the days to come ring out with the message of freedom. Freedom from the evil tyranny of those who would enslave us. Let us fight for our families, our children and future generations. Let it be known that our people did not give up, we fought, we fight, and it starts today!" Quirin shouts and a chorus of chants and cheers echo all around you.
Everyone falls in line and the horns and drums resound. The collective army begins their march and you see Faelar join you in line while Arion stays behind. On your left side you see Tempest jogging hurriedly towards you, his staff in hand and leather armor over his chest. "Elia said it would be good for me to stretch my legs a bit. I hope I don't disappoint." Tempest says and falls in beside Rawk and her father. The army exits through both ends of the protective barrier around Dom-Gar and reconvenes within a half hour. Your adrenaline powers your through the march as you assume your rapid pace.
I need a D12 roll, survival check with advantage and two perception checks.
"Glad to have you back Tempest." Rawk chirps and assumes her awkward waddle flap and hop march style for a few minutes in case the others wanted to chat before taking to the skies to scout ahead.
Erro remains uncharacteristically silent as he falls in and joins in the march. He was eager, but there were also too many variables to feel comfortable. Something about the situation felt off to him.
For the start of the journey, Darion keeps Robyn nearby, not happy with having to go into the jungle but recognising how important it is and valuing having his familiar close. After a little bit though, he sends her off on a scouting mission. He will notice Erro's quiet demeanour, and wanders over to him "What's troubling you, Erro, you are not quite your normal self?"
”Oh, I don’t know. It seems like we’ve happened upon the best possible outcome doesn’t it? Something doesn’t feel right though. Call it a premonition.” He rests his hand on his sword, idly fidgeting with the hilt, “Believe me though, I’m having no second thoughts about running through some of those beasts...”

(@Erro- Ha, no only level 6.)
Roll a d20 if you wish to help or do anything but rest.

((Nice try Brad. I personally am sure I remember Xtra handed out a +3 vorbal axe of Yuan-ti slaying to Rawk :D )
Darion would follow Ellis' lead, giving what intelligence he could.
Do you like my Boots of Flying?
((Oh yes, I clearly remember the axe that we found in that one place ;). Guess I was thinking of level 6!))

Short Rest Hit Dice

Darion to will do short rest things!

(Hey everyone. I promise I haven't forgotten you. I plan on posting tomorrow morning. Got hit with a whirlwind of stuff this week. Apologies.)
((No problem!! How annoying that real life impacts on the important things like DnD :) ))

Ellis was really happy that Tempest could join them all again, nodding before falling in line with everyone as they marched.
