Buildings are tall, and carved right out of the stone. The town extends up and down the cliff, with steep stairs interconnecting levels the closer you get to the cliff face, and scaffolding-like wooden and metal connecting them on the outside edge of the cliff (for vertigo-inspiring dizziness). Buildings seem to swallow up the narrow alleys between them, and between the shadows from the buildings and that from the cliff, its almost always swathed in dim light (make the town face west, and you can have the fading sunset illuminate the entire town at once).Interesting battles can take place in the narrow alleys and steep stairs, and especially on the scaffolding stairs on the outside edge, where wind, creaking wooden planks, and slightly swaying metal scaffolds will scare the bejeesus out of everyone. The 200 ft. drop won't hurt, either. So to speak.Give the townies max ranks in Climb - they're used to swinging all over the scaffolds like jungle gyms, so they seem to always be able to get ahead of the PC's who have to be more careful...</blockquote>
