Ryu kept walking at a decent pace.  He finally made it to the cliff face, staring it down like it was one giant monster to be killed.  Everyone was already topside, and he was stuck at the bottom.  He finally started regretting his choice to make himself rear guard.  He might not even make it in the gates in time.  His eyes studied the rock face in detail picking out the prime spots.  "Fuck."  He cursed aloud, peeved that they didn't at least drop a rope for him.  The ninjas eyes grew wide as an idea hit him in the head like a ton of bricks.  He pulled out his bow, quickly a fixing a length of chord to it.  He used the energy compression technique from before to send his arrow farther.  When he was at his peak, he fired off his shot, putting an impact in the side of the face, but giving him a handy way up the mountain so he could progress quickly.<br/><br/>While scaling the cliff face he thought out loud to himself, "Well, if only we had two walls close enough together, I'd JUMP up the mountain!"  He laughed joyfully at the thought.
