"The town… it's been sacked. We need to move right away… but we might already be too late to save the town. We can still finish off the Erisians, though."
Darin limps up beside you. He says to you, "We's have a ranger group ready, lad. Jus' say the word."
You nod. "I'll take the rangers in. You get the rest of the men ready and follow me in."
Darin salutes. "Understood." As much he would want to join the vanguard, his injured leg is holding him back, keeping him from moving fast.
As Darin leaves to organize the rest of the army, you ask the ranger, "Where's our entry?"
He replies, "Erisians burned the ramp that the townspeople used to enter. We'll have to scale the cliff."
You curse under your breath. "Fine." You sling your crossbow over your shoulder. You approach the steep cliff and place a hand on it, then take a deep breath.
You reach for a handhold and begin to scale, followed by a group of four dozen rangers.
