Didn’t we learn from Nate and Nale’s Dad that falling isn’t especially lethal for high level characters? I see that falling maxes out at 20d6 or about 70 HP. Terminal velocity is at 200 feet (1d6 for each 10 feet). Even with damage taken, that seems survivable, except for Minrah who luckily didn’t go over the cliff. ---

I guess landing on one’s feet is a get-out-of-fall-damage in that world.If the fall’s that far, it isn’t in this one. -–suThey must have survived being fallen on before, and look like they will again. That’s got to hurt, though. will be blurred ---

Glacial ice is often blue. Both in our world, and in D&D worlds where it’s likely to be magically-indestructible glacial ice. ---
