  Anything that isn't listed on the map itself, can be found in the first post of the Waiting Room under Map Rulings and Precedents.
  
      * Pillars are 10' tall and are not scalable without sufficient magic or tools.
      * Walls are 10' tall.
      * There is no ceiling

   Spoiler 
  Would it be possible for me to charge at Ulric from where I am? My main concern is in the wording of Up the Walls:
  
   While you are psionically focused, you can take  part of one of your move actions  to traverse a wall or other relatively smooth vertical surface if you begin and end your move on a horizontal surface. The height you can achieve on the wall is limited only by this movement restriction. If you do not end your move on a horizontal surface, you fall prone, taking falling damage as appropriate for your distance above the ground. Treat the wall as a normal floor for the purpose of measuring your movement. Passing from floor to wall or wall to floor costs no movement; you can change surfaces freely. Opponents on the ground can make attacks of opportunity as you move up the wall. 
  
  I would have to use more than my movement speed to get to him.

  @Kaganmonk: 
   Spoiler 
  No, you may not charge.  Charge attacks must be in a straight line.  When you reach the ground, you must make a 90% turn to keep charging.  If you had a psionic feat allowing this, you'd be ok, but as it stands, you don't.
  Further, the ability specifically mentions that you must use a move action.  Charge isn't a move action.

  Well, either way you'd take damage from the charge attack.  If the attack had succeeded, you would have taken a lot less.
  
  Attack missed.  Readied action places Ulric's turn just before Kagan's.  Assuming Kagan has no free or swift actions to take, it's Ulric's turn.

   Ulric is the winner, and receives the prizes above. 
   On a side note , the stat block is primarily for ref use (and the player who posts it, of course), and can contain privileged information (spells memorized, specific nature of items in hand - potion of enlarge or Cure light wounds, for example - active effects on the character, and the like.  It's generally against rules to look at a player's stat block.  You are allowed to use last stated location, as well as a player's character sheet for this information.
