((From flying overhead, can Talon tell how long it would take them to reach the island proper if they went along the coast? Probably still quicker than going through the jungle...))
Talon takes to the air, and circling up, sees that another half hour of walking would get them to a rockier part of the island, the beach seemingly interrupted, perhaps a stream spilling its way to the ocean?
The hide armor would probably give Big Un a dashingly rugged aesthetic. From where he is, he has no idea how big the island is, but it doesn't seem to be small.

Ember nods in agreement. "As much as I'd love to take a rest now, it may be better if we were somewhere with water and more shelter from the sun. I think it may be wise to carry on for another hour, if everyone has the supplies they need."
(To update your list, Ember took 3 daggers and a bundle of arrows.)

As you head further along the beach, it indeed gets a bit rockier, and you see a figure moving along the beach in the distance. As you get closer, you see that it is an elderly fellow, human by appearance, with a long wild beard and disheveled hair. His clothes are an assortment of worn and faded materials stitched and cobbled together. He does have a large cape in the same colors as you all are wearing across his shoulders, the hood up over his head. He carries a staff, and currently seems to be playing tag with the waves.

Mark begrudgingly agrees to travel with the rest of the party, looking longingly at the ground. Sandy and flat though it may be, the bloody and beaten Goliath could really go for a rest. He instinctively takes the front, his defensive nature kicking in, attempting to ensure the protection of what is now his battle buddies, his comrades. Upon seeing the man, he motions for the rest of the group to stay slightly behind, out of sight if possible. This man seems harmless enough at the moment, so Mark keeps his shield equipped, but secures his weapons.
Stepping out towards him, Mark calls out: "A fine day to you good sir."

"Hmph. A blue ghost. Like I haven't seen that before."
His clothing suggests he's been here a while, and yours is not the first wreck that has washed up here.
As Mark pleas with him he shuffles over and jabs a few bony fingers into your midsection, hopping back in surprise when he touches you. "You... might be real. All these other ones with you real too? You friends of my son's?"

"Have you seen ghosts with feathers, too?" Talon plucks one of his more mottled feathers to give the old man as proof. "We only woke up on this island this morning and came together shortly after. How did you get here? How many sunrises have you seen in this place?"
He takes the feather and tucks it behind his ear, though.
"This morning? Maybe you do know my son. He just got here this morning too. Don't remember how I got here, guessing I washed up like the floaters, but I was real."
"Sunrises? I've seen a few worth remembering.", he turns back to Mark. "Is that your talking bird's way of asking how long I been here?"

Talon points and says: "It gets rockier half an hour's walk in that direction. Maybe it's a good place to start searching for water."
Ember nods in agreement. "As much as I'd love to take a rest now, it may be better if we were somewhere with water and more shelter from the sun. I think it may be wise to carry on for another hour, if everyone has the supplies they need."

He totters over, peering up at you.
"You're not real.", he says, coming to a decision.
"Too big to be real."
He darts forward, poking his staff into the wet sand and chuckling with glee as he comes up with a clam.
