Son has a sense that Big Un is just doing things that come naturally to him, while you get the sense that whatever you can do would be the result of long hours of practice.
Talon eventually spirals down, not having managed to find much of anything from above, and the party continues climbing, the trail coming to a gap where a stream dashes through a narrow gully. It looks like a rope bridge spanned the chasm at one point, but it has since broken and fallen in, the slats and rope lying against the opposite wall.

It's not overly wide, only maybe 10 feet or so... but 20 feet down. There is a pair of metal eyelets on the rocks on this side that it may have once been tied to, though it's hard to tell of there is enough slack to be able to retie it with what's there. Perhaps more rope could be lashed on to join the bridge?

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"I've some rope from the netting Talon was caught up in. Does someone want to hold on to part of it while I try to tie it, in case I drop it?"
Mark will take a length of the rope, handing the rest of it to whichever of his companions wishes to hold the rest, and then attempts to tie it to one of the eyelets

Mark ties off an excellent knot on one of the eyelets.

Talon flies over to the other side and ties the rope to the hanging part of the bridge, then flies back. "Not sure how heavy it is, but we should have enough strength between us."
Big'Un will stay on the repaired side and hold the repair while everyone crosses then he will cross. He figures it's the least he can do after the effects of his magic damaged his friends.
As far as Son can tell, Mark did a fine job of tying it off.
((Talon, give me a Dexterity(Athletics) check to see how well you're able to maintain your flight position down in the crevasse to tie it off to the dangling end.))

While Talon is flying to the other side, Mark will look around, trying to determine how long the bridge has been busted or how much traffic this area has seen.

Talon expertly drops down into the relatively narrow crevasse, and gets his feet set against the rocks and is able to beat his wings to stay in position long enough to get the rope tied. Grabbing hold of a rock with his arms and thrusting with his legs, he gets back up to the air and is able to land back with the party without falling in.
Those of you on the rope end manage to haul the fallen bridge up, and can work to secure it with the new rope. ((Intelligence(Sleight of Hand) to do so.))

"Hm. How do you suppose father gets across here? Actually, how does he even survive to get here?"
Looking down the chasm he asks,
"How much can you carry Talon? Any chance of..." He gestures at the gap.
"Or maybe you can bring those bridge pieces over and we could tie it back up?"
He looks for places to tie it.

"I think we found some rope." Ember says and starts to look through some of their stuff, to see if there is any extra rope.
((Someone has plenty of rope scavenged from the wreck.))

Son gives the rope as strong a tug as he can to test the strength of the eyelet.
Strength/Athletics(?):18
Talon flies over to the other side and ties the rope to the hanging part of the bridge, then flies back. "Not sure how heavy it is, but we should have enough strength between us."
Son helps out pulling the bridge back up.
(Want a roll for him?)
Big'Un will stay on the repaired side and hold the repair while everyone crosses then he will cross. He figures it's the least he can do after the effects of his magic damaged his friends.

Seems low traffic'd, but relatively recent break in the bridge, perhaps in the last few weeks?

((Son was mostly checking to make sure the eyelet was loose, about to break but checking the knot is also important!))
Talon's Dexterity: 15
The eyelet is also secure. :P
Talon expertly drops down into the relatively narrow crevasse, and gets his feet set against the rocks and is able to beat his wings to stay in position long enough to get the rope tied. Grabbing hold of a rock with his arms and thrusting with his legs, he gets back up to the air and is able to land back with the party without falling in.

Son lashes off the bridge, and you should be ready to cross!

Son is confident in his knot and goes first over the bridge. Quickly though.
