The Fall

Read or paraphrase the following.

It is the 5th of Daramond (the ninth month), 1427 NR (Northern Reckoning). The frontier town of Crescent is quiet and peaceful, as the sun begins climbing the eastern sky. Aptly named, the town is indeed crescent-shaped, occupying a highpoint of this ridge that juts out slightly, providing the western edge of the town with a grand view of the thick forests below. A dense morning fog remains settled across the land below the ridgeline (which is only reached by a narrow road that winds back and forth down a narrow gap just south of town).

Leaving the warm and cozy common room of the Winking Dragon, the town's only inn, behind you, you have found your way to the low wooden palisade stretching across the ridge. Permitted to stroll freely up and down the walkway, a few of the common folk routinely take advantage of such peaceful mornings to gaze out over the forest, and this morning your group is among them.

The chill morning air will eventually give way to a warm, early autumn day, and the fog will soon burn off. In the meantime, though, dew covers most things, and your breath is easily seen as you enjoy the sight.

As jarring as a thunderclap, though, the morning's peacefulness is interrupted. You hear a scream to the south, and you turn immediately to see the source. Below the palisade, a lone figure, his arms flailing madly, and his robes flapping in the wind, falls to the ground below. No more than ten feet from the cliff face at first, the slope closes in on him, and you see him ricochet off the rock once before disappearing into the trees.
