You are all escorted back up the cliff without any further issue. Once there, just as promised, the two felines speak about their territory's reach. It's surprisingly large, or at least what they claim to you is, but at least it doesn't reach up to the cliff at any point. They even helpfully give you a path around and give you a point, about a day away, where you could easily climb back down. Though it's quite possible that a skilled pathfinder would be able to find a better path, cutting down a good amount of time without risking intruding on even the felines' wildest boast about their reach.
