Make that sling, distance self from others in the search for more rocks, in Pauly's direction.
You make the sling, using the string Axel gave you.

[4] You head toward where you last heard Pauly, making sure to stay clear of the path. You find 2 pebbles along the path side.
(+2 pebbles)
Utilizing this time-honoured search technique named after a legendary explorer, Pauly
attempts to meet back up with the others.
[3] MAAARCO you scream, blindly walking about the Jungle. Oh dear, it seems you're too far away for them to hear you. You hear a rustle behind you. You turn around and look. Oh, it's just a bush. Or is it?
Hand over enough string that Ferren needs. Then use my axe to carve and sharpen the end of the stick into a point to make a spear, or at least a javelin. Then go check on the direction Pauly's scream came from.
You hand the string over. The string has to be twisted together to make it larger, and overall slings do require a lot of 'rope'. It depletes a significant portion of your string supplies.
You sharpen your stick. It seems a bit too thin for a spear, so you settle to call it a javelin.
[6] You follow the direction you thought you heard Pauly scream. You're about to enter the path when you stop. Pauly probably didn't scream for good reasons. You're close to the pyramid, and you see a bit of blood on the path. Glancing at the puddles in the path, most of them have been disturbed by something. Each puddle has what appears to be a rock or two in it. The puddle near the pyramid is empty, however.
