You barely notice the nearly vertical drop in time.  Far below you hear
the ocean pounding rhythmically against the face of the cliff.  There is no
obvious way to descend the cliff except perhaps by repelling, but the winds
rushing up from the ocean below make even that option unviable.  In any
case, there is only the murky ocean visible below, beneath a thin layer of
fine mist.
