"Harding!" Jim bellows over the roar of the Darkspawn.
"On it!" The stone beneath Jim's feet juts up so quickly he falls to his knees but manages not to slide off. She has been paramount to their bringing down the cliff face, as much as the blackpowder explosives Jim has used from his own stores to set off the reaction. From his newfound perch Jim draws back out his bow and works with the other two in clearing a path toward the only other tower where the darkspawn seem to be falling.
They're too far apart to lock eyes, but Jim swears they do for a fraction of a second and then the Warden is moving again. He leaps from ruined rooftop to fallen walls, skids under wrecked livestock fencing. Vaults over what's left of a stonework wall. He's closing the distance between the two of them (three of them, Jim doesn't know about the child) like a force of nature. Harding and Neve trail behind to keep the worst of the horde at bay while they move.
It's splitting the attention of the darkspawn trying to ascend the tower, but it isn't fully removing the risk as more reach the ramparts, trying to throw themselves over to get at the humans beyond.
