Cimeri might not know much about survival in the jungle (though, she was learning) but stealthy movement was her thing. Brynn and Azaka were fine on their own, the rest of the group could still use a few pointers how to do it more effectively. So, Cimeri tied herself in role of a teacher. And if she did not have her Master's sternness, persistence was suppose to compensate that flaw.

Bryn enjoyed the feel of the earth, the dirt between her toes. During the morning she would scout the path ahead, feeling the earth, sniffing the air and using her druidic instincts to lead the way through the jungle. The half giant would consult with the others, feeling confident in their navigation. There's no lack of knowledge or skill in this group. Maybe Fulcra's energy was rubbing off on her.
In the afternoons Bryn would do an overall check on their group to see how they are doing and if anything has changed since the day before. She would encourage others, including herself, to reapply the bug repellant when necessary and remain hydrated. Snacks would be harvested and provided for the growling stomachs.
In the evening she would prowl and hide in the shadows on look out. Bryn did not want to let their guard down. Getting too comfortable in this jungle could lead to our death. She'd keep an eye out for signs of expected predators and possibly new ones.
(with Azaka's help and Taman's guidance. Survival, Medicine and Perception all +5)
Fulcra shrugs to Azaka, "I don't feel too strongly about it. Let's head for the silver mine then."
Fulcra lends a hand to those with experience being stealthy and tries to help the group telling stories about how things are done in many of the lands he passed. He does seem to move a bit faster than those around him, and uses his time to take extra stops here and there and help try to leave behind clues that might mislead any stalkers that may still find their trail. Small crumpled notes with maps showing misdirection, broken stalks and leaves on a path that leads away at any obvious branches. (Deception: 9) In the evenings, he sits in contemplation, usually finding a nice dark place to meditate. The shadows seem to close in around him as he does so. He seems to leave these sessions with new creative ways to try and mislead the enemies following them.

Taman continues usin ghis knowledge of the natural areas as they walk, looking at what nature itself can tell them about which way to go. He examins the moss on trees, the lay of leaves, whatever else he can to judge their path and try to guide them around potential hazards.

[Wow, great work, that was clearly too easy ;) Awesome narrations, you've done my work for me!]
Your energy levels rise with the effects of depression and anxiety lessened; you see absolutely no sign of following were tigers. There are a couple of close calls, with Cimeri and crew working with Bryn to note a party of frogmen-like creatures with spears traveling across your path. Their demeanor, stunted speech, and weapons all denote them to you as unfriendly, and you're able to let them pass without them noticing you.
No assassin vines, no goblins, no mismanaged forts of sick humans... are you still in Chult?
The morning of the third day the cone of Hrakhamar stands before you, smoking, rivulets of lava pouring from it's top but solidifying before reaching the elevation you're currently at, where the jungle proper thins to more of a wasteland.
Azaka steps forth, pointing with her scimitar to a pair of gates set in the bedrock up the slope of the volcano. "I've not been this close before, but I'll be a Grung's anus if that's not Hrakhamar." She leads the way forward.
As you get closer, you survey your surroundings. The entrance to Hrakhamar is a 10-foot tall arched doorway beneath a massive relief carving of a crossed hammer and tongs. Two iron doors were fitted to the entrance, but one lies on the ground, completely rusted off its hinges, and other sags so badly it appears as if it could collapse at any moment. Several buildings once stood outside the forge, but they've been reduced to their foundations.
"This doesnt bode well..." she says as she cautiously approaches. "It appears that this is not an active mine and hasn't been so for awhile. I mean look st the gates, they are not only damaged but rusted."
Celtra's words, though pointing to unexpected setback, calmed Cimeri: her fist thought was - they came too late and weretigers guessed group's destination and not only destroyed the smithies but killed all the workers as well. Even if weretiger attack was the case, that happened long ago then. Cimeri set Chiirki down on the ground, and as carefully as she can moved to the entrance to peek inside.
Taman sends Sabastian around the area, scouting with his greater speed and seeing if there is anything of interest in the area around here, prior to going any closer to the gates. "Let's see what else is about before we go moving in just yet." He advises the others as he waits on his familiar's report.
Fulcra glances at the doors with a frown. Then glances to Azaka. “A grungs anus? You should be careful what you say. I have a friend who said something similar...I mean, not THAT similar, but there was a wizard there when he said it. When it turned out he was wrong he spent a month making conjugal visits to a stable. Ya. It was quite disturbing.”
Fulcra makes idle chit chat while Sebastian scouts the area.
Azaka rolls her eyes, mutters to Celtra. "So very glad we are going to a Silver mine; I am going to dip his tongue in molten metal." She smiles. "At least I didn't kiss my cousin at a party," and waits to see if Bryn does anything.
Bryn catches herself letting out a snort at Azaka's quip. Her instincts were to also take a sniff around the area. She'd be curious if there could be another entrance or a crack in the wall where she could mold a little earth to find their way in.

Celtra looks at Azaka for a moment before saying, "I'm not even going to ask about the cousin thing." She then makes her way to the entrance. She takes a closer look at the gate and the area around it trying to determine the a time frame of how long ago this attack may have been and signs for what may have done so.
Fulcra follows behind Celtra. He lends her a hand, looking around for details and pointing them out to her. (Help action, Celtra, get advantage on your check)

Fulcra watches as Celtra checks things out in potentially the least skilled way he's ever witnessed. His attempts to help just cause more damage. He laughs and shakes his head, and then walks in through the door.

[Don't forget Guidance gang, I think Taman is ok w/ everyone assuming he casts it on them, right?]
Taman rests on a boulder, closes his eyes and sets down his companion; Sebastian bolts about the premises, looking for any signs of battle, other entrances to the forge, or other interesting clues, as Bryn surveys the area closer to the door. The damage, in line with Musharib's tale, seems to have been caused by seismic or tectonic activity and not from battle. Hurled rocks from the volcano seem to have bashed the buildings into rubble, and the rock around the entrance doors shows cracks and missing pieces.
Bryn notices scorch marks near the entrance, as if something incredibly hot passed through; Fulcra points out a few of the same similar marks around the door and on the interior tunnel a few feet past the entrance. Celtra concludes from the twisted metalwork of the door that neither a battering ram nor magical force knocked these doors open; the doors are relatively unscathed but their hinges and the stone they were bolted into are torn apart.
"I don't think we can yet say it is abandoned," says Azaka, stooping to stare at a scorch mark Bryn found. "Musharib mentioned his clan was driven out when the volcano stirred. Then fire newts moved in. He wanted to destroy the fire newts. Perhaps these scorch marks are the signs of their first entrance to the forge. They may be working inside..."
