There isn't an obvious way up to the top of the wall from the west side where you'll enter. If you're not invisible then you'll be spotted as soon as you enter they valley.

The sudden appearance of a falling man screaming will alert everyone to the danger.
Assuming you have timed this what are the others doing just before and as this happens with your free action?

Iseret has her crossbow out and trained on the other standing atop the wall. As soon as the first begins his fall, she fires on the other.

Each square is 10 feet
You'll enter the ravine from a narrow gap on the right, 5' wide (large creatures will need to squeeze to get through). Scouting out of, there are:
- two cultists on top of the wall (N7) and beyond that,
- Two cultists and the giant in the gap N1
- two cultists on top of the wall (N9)
- a narrow clifftop path between the two walls (N8)
- A small pyramid perches on the cliffs above the valley, almost as if it had fallen from the sky. At the base of the pyramid, a tent squats on a stone platform built where the natural bridge ends (N10)
Of the two cultists on top of the wall, one has fallen toward the gap you're entering from (map right) and taken a fair bit of damage. Iseret hits the other on top of the wall and Callum might be jonsing for another deadly bull rush attack.

Tabat and Selquet, do you want to finish your opening move, perhaps by charging and attacking Cultist 1?

Tabat, along with Selquet, charges atop his own mount, falling upon the foe and swinging at the fallen enemy with his khopesh from the opposite side of his companion's approach.

Iseret targets the one on the wall. (Crit for 9 damage.)
Tabat kills the cultist who fell off the wall before he can stand.

@Alordis there is no one else within striking distance. If you can get up the wall, or use a ranged attack, then you can see the one higher up. Or wait for Callum to knock the other own down. Otherwise, you could run for the gap. Or have a Fresca, it's hot out.| Combatant | Initiative | Damage | Notes |

The advantage of surprise gone, Callum quickly flies toward the other cultist, slamming him directly in the chest and over the wall.
Not waiting to see the outcome, he nimbly lands atop the wall, surveying the rest of the enemy group. It's time like this he wish he had picked up bowmanship.

OOC:
not sure if the crit changes anything damage wise. Pushing him over the side where the other one fell, toward the group, though I imagine the fall will do the job.Last edited July 20, 2026 2:54 am
