"I'll go out ahead of you and pick out an easier path," Galder says. "That way, you can follow. If anyone else starts following, have your guys maul them. Chuck stones, punch faces, bite and kick and scream."
He's a merchant leader- in terms of the primitive Epirean economy, in any case. Even in the towns, the Epirean culture is force-driven (not THAT type of Force...) but the town leaders can afford to hire (mostly by way of goods) enough goons to protect themselves.
Garshak is greedy and Firak considers him inferior, though you can easily sense the jealously there. Culturally speaking, of course, the towns are the future of this world, not the tribes. If this place had been left alone, that is.

"You would have to do better than that to get them across the line in time, says Trogan. "And what heed can I pay to a man who does not care about those under him? Have you not noticed that some are missing?"

Torvus hides in one of the chasms, using an underhang. Gorag has found a side cave to hide in.
Tannek tries to brazen it out- but it doesn;t quite work out for him. He id dashed into a rock wall by the slide and breaks his leg.
That leaves four more in the firing line. Three are injured in the crashdown and get dice penalties to the rest of the race. Lonicloth makes the best roll, and although is knocked down, he will be up again soon.
So far, so good. Problem is, this rockslide is way worse than originally intended... almost as if two have been caused at the same time. The descent continues to be lethal!

Though slightly to Galder's surprise- and the reuslt oa a FOrce point spend- Xavier has come UP the mountain to where you are talking to Trogan.
Trogan has just told you that the missing people are nothing to do with him.

Xavier will head back towards the fighters and began to help them move forward anyway he can. Showing them the easiest paths, urging them on that kind of thing.
