Signal Fires - Burn those bodies.

The crevasse is a deep gash and is not easily navigated. Fishing the bodies out is no small task but, fortunately, among the scattered materials in the abandoned camp, there is enough rope to reach down to the bottom. Whether or not magic is an easier solution, it's hard to say, but it's comforting to have a good solid rope available.

Dragging up the cornstalks, bundled and damp, is the first step and they dry slowly spread out over the snow. Once they're...well...not sopping wet, they can be stalked and used as tinder for the pyre. They won't burn as well as wood, or as hot, but they should hopefully be enough to get those corpses burning.

The corpses are a bit more of a challenge to fish out, but everyone here has nothing but time. The glimmering rift below is disconcerting but, thankfully, it seems stable and quiet. Hopefully it will remain so.

(Start a thread with your character retrieving stuff from the bottom of the crevasse, or piling up to start the fire, or tossing bodies on the fire if you want! Or we can just do a dogpile group thread, that seems to work nicely.)
