As such maybe there’s a wagon or a pile of debris or a building near the wall they could jump from. At this point it all comes down to how important is it that the party gets over the wall this way and how much do I care?Now know “some people” <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😉" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" title="Winking face    :wink:" data-shortname=":wink:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> want their character building decisions to matter so I would figure out who has what skill that might help or hinder the situation and ask them to roll against it.  I believe this is what they call a DC or skill check. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷🏻‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-1f3fb-2642.png" title="Man shrugging: light skin tone    :man_shrugging_tone1:" data-shortname=":man_shrugging_tone1:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />. As a DM I am also at the table to have fun.  Maybe I want the party to fail so as to see what hilarity might be the outcome so I make the DC high. I also might not care that much knowing that if party gets thrown in prison I’ll then have to hear them winge about having their gear taken away from them.Now if you’ve had the fortitude to read all of this (I applaud you) you’re probably asking…dude…what’s your point?   To which I would reply…I am often told I have none.Thank you. Remember to tip your servers.  <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😎" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" title="Smiling face with sunglasses    :sunglasses:" data-shortname=":sunglasses:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></blockquote>
