Oh, you've found the dropoff in Oasis heading up from South Ro
too I see? :-) My entire party went down that ledge (it's
more a ledge than a slope). Took a total of about 280-300
points damage each in three falls before we could stop.
Worse than any of the yellow and red ice boned skeletons we'd
been taking in South Ro. Now I always cut parallel to a ridge
before going down, so I can peek to the side and see how steep
the drop is. I am really looking forward to L24 and the safe
fall skill.

Another time in Lavastorm, someone I'd just met and grouped
with had never run with a bard or SoW and went flying off a
peak into a pool of lava. She got out with just a sliver of
red showing on her health bar.
