Alydon’s Pacifism Shatters

The Mountains are discussed as an alternative route for the group's diversionary assault on the Dalek city. While the Thals initially reject this option due to its perceived dangers, the Doctor suggests splitting the group into two forces: one to distract the Daleks on the city walls and another to infiltrate through the mountains. The mountains are framed as a rugged and potentially exposed path, but their inclusion in the strategic discussion highlights the group's willingness to consider all options. While they are not the primary focus of the plan, their role in the two-pronged assault underscores the group's adaptability and determination to succeed.

Atmosphere

Rugged and exposed, symbolizing the challenges and risks of the group's mission.

Functional Role

Secondary diversionary route for the assault on the Dalek city, offering an alternative to the swamp infiltration.

Symbolic Significance

Represents the group's willingness to take calculated risks and adapt their strategy to the realities of the terrain.

Access Restrictions

Potentially exposed to Dalek defenses or harsher terrain, but undefended in the sense that the Daleks are not actively guarding them.

Described as 'jagged slopes' rising beyond the Thal camp. Framed as a high-risk vector for diversion that demands speed and stealth.
