Description

All of my men are down at Farwatch Overlook to the southwest, holding off mantid that are trying to fly across the chasm. As long as my marksmen have arrows, they'll ground any mantid that clear the chasm.

If you're here to help, I could use some more men clearing the mantid out once they're on the ground. Are you willing, <class>?

2. use a long range attack/something that causes aggro (40 range-ish) and aim at the mobs flying in from the other side of the valley
3. profit*

The mobs will - if you are lucky - plummet into the valley below
