The dangerous precipice overlooks the valley below.  The ground slopes down to the edge here.  Dirt crumbles down to the edge of the cliff.
Dangerous Precipice, Mountain
hero
knight
I am a knight. I come from a lower-ranking noble family. I serve under the king, as my father did before me. In times of war, I fight on horseback.
Ah sir hero, what brings you here this fine day? I am going to battle against the army of an evil king. Well it is an honor as a knight to be in your presence. Would you, perhaps, like to join me in this adventure? I could use the help. Me, and the other rebels against the evil king. Of course Sir Hero, I will follow you anywhere you ask me to! Let us continue across the precipice, then. Yes, we must watch our step, it is dangerous up here. Do you have any extra weapons? Yes, take this bow my lord. Thank you. It may come in handy. I suspect you will make better use of it then me. I may be a hero, but with your knightly training, I imagine you're a good shot too.
