I just finished book 2 so no spoilers beyond that please. Discussing chasm fiends because a question popped into my head after reading the plunge two characters make into a chasm. They describe as the chasm fiend moving swiftly along the walls. My question is how and why the armies are managing to fight them on top of plateaus and after hours and hours of running to get to where they’re spotted. You’d think these giant fast beasts wouldn’t just sit there waiting for an entire army to come slaughter them. Or did I miss something in book 1 of the tactics they use to keep them up top?
