Village Perimeter Tactical Cliff Edge

Cliff Edge at Varan's Village

A narrow precipice of jagged limestone drops abruptly into a steep ravine, the air thick with salt spray and the metallic tang of the Stone’s touch. The Doctor and Emilia stand pressed against the slick rock, their boots scraping on loose shale as the wind shrieks through the fissures. Below, the drop plunges into swirling mist where the Ogri thwarts their retreat. The Doctor’s coat flutters as he lures the creature, Emilia’s stifled scream lost in the howling gale. Rain slicks the limestone, the ground groaning underfoot as rocks shear away. Every step risks a misplaced foot or the Stone’s relentless pursuit, the precipice itself a weapon in the Doctor’s hands.
