Caves and Cliffs? I Don't Think So.

Never, ever land on a cliff with a flyer or go near a cliff with any mount. I was playing on Ragnarok, hunting with about roughly 5-6 Pteranodons, when my main Pteranodon (Melon) started to reach near exhaustion. Without thinking, I landed and perched upon an open valley located on a cliff. As he/she regained their stamina, a microraptor of all things pops out of nowhere, stuns me, and sends me flailing through the air down to my death. I relax, knowing it's very likely that I'll retrieve my things and be on my way. My Pteranodons are big boys and girls, they can handle themselves. I rode back to where I died on a Megaloceros, but to my horror and disbelief, and I realized that I had completely forgot about the swamp located just beneath the cliff. I thought I was screwed. Even more so when I spotted my Pteranodons mauling something just beneath a rock, right near where my stuff was. The thoughts were instantaneous. "Sarco" and other creatures flickered into my brain like searchlights. But I knew I had to get them. I whistled them over and after several seconds of no response, they soon followed. Then I went into the thick of the murky water and retrieved my belongings. Everyone was okay. I still don't know to this day what it was they were killing. I didn't stick around long enough to find out myself. But all I knew was this:

One solo microraptor just nearly devastated me and all of my faithful flyers who would've stopped at nothing to protect me. 1 Like = 1 Love for Melon & Friends
