Um... two things...
We could conveniently say Eostre brought some rope and forgot about it... she seems logical enough to have brought some, at any rate. And, two... a possible solution for getting across, if no one thought about it... at least, to get a rope across. Both of us girls have bows. It might be possible to shoot a line across and into a tree. If we're searching the town for rope, we could probably come up with a few lines long enough to reach across and string a line across that way... then one of the men could cross.
Of course, it'd have to work by narratorial convenience, as the chances might be a bit slim. But it's just a thought.
