*Liia* tries to strike you, but you parry successfully.

* HP:Healthy MV:Tiring - Kendall: Healthy > Tumbling down the Mountainside
The rocks give away beneath your feet, sending you sliding down the
mountainside. This takes you to a small ledge in the mountainwall. The slope
back west is too steep for climbing back up, but it is possible to climb down
the mountainwall further, to a large plateau below. It might not be possible to
climb up again though, as the last part looks like a leap down from the wall,
which is unclimbable because of the smoothness of the wall.

A Trail through the Mountainpass
A small, rocky path starts out of nowhere here, made up of the tracks of heavy
animals. It runs through a pass in the mountains, leading toward the west. To
the east, the pass ends and there is more open terrain there. On both sides of
the path, high walls of rock rise up, blocking almost all light from enterin
the pass. At the southern wall of the pass, there is a small cluster of dry
bushes, desperately clinging to their life.

High in the Mountains
The ridge high in the mountains comes to a dead-end before the mountainwall
rising up right before you in the north. Jagged cliffs point outward from the
hostile-looking peak, where it shoots up toward the sky. The edges of the ridge
are dangerously close and littered by loose rocks, which could send unwary
travelers tumbling down the mountainside to their deaths. To the south the
ridge climbs slightly upwards toward yet another peak.
