( What can I say? I have a way with gifs. Good question. I was thinking, after getting Reefpaw up, Tern would climb down to where Reefpaw was... then they could work from there. I dunno, man. )

( Take your time! I'm debating whether I should respond with Conchpaw yet, or wait until everyone has been rescued. I feel like it might get a bit confusing with him in the mix, until the scene has calmed somewhat, maybe. sorry for introducing him and then being like, "huhuhuh now wait a minute" )

Coralmoon -- Jagged Bluffs -- w/ Ternwing, Sharkpaw, Reefpaw, Pearlpaw, Conchpaw
Coralshine's heart was racing as she watched Ternwing begin her descent down the cliffs in order to get closer to Reefpaw, who was so much closer to them than Pearlpaw was. As the red she-cat peered over the side she had to immediately force her breathing to calm down, lest she wanted her heart to leap out of her throat. The medicine cat unsheathes her claws and digs them into the dirt in an attempt to ground herself, waiting for Ternwing's call.
She can feel her whole body pounding to the beating of her heart as she crouches down further, focusing solely on Ternwing's tail as the warrior addresses and talks to Reefpaw, letting him know what his job was in the situation. Her muscles tensed and she dared to glance away once to look at Pearlpaw once more, noticing the red in the younger she-cat's bright white fur. Coralshine curses to herself, she should've brought cobwebs. She should've known that one, if not both, of them would've gotten scraped up. It's her job to think ahead, but she was just so worried about catching up in time that grabbing cobwebs didn't even occur to her.
"Bite, Coralshine!"
The somali almost missed her cue as Ternwing's voice rang in her ears. With quick reflexes, Coralshine looked back down to the black and white warrior, lowering her head and clamping down tight on the she-cats tail. The red molly braces herself to hold up Ternwing's wait, desperately praying to Starclan that she'll be able to keep hold.
Reefpaw -- Jagged Bluffs -- w/ Ternwing, Coralshine, Pearlpaw, Sharkpaw, Conchpaw
Reefpaw was so frustrated with himself, he hated the fact that he felt so desperately helpless in this situation. Pearlpaw was stuck on the flimsy branch because of him, and now there were others getting involved and risking their lives because of his stupid mistake. He lets out a frustrated grunt as he pulls himself up a little higher, readjusting his grip on the ledge as he felt his muscles beginning to give. The tom isn't quite sure how much longer he can hold on, his arms and paws were beginning to beg for release and the strain on his claws was starting to get painful as well.
Just as he's about to feel like he can hold on no longer, Ternwing's sudden appearance makes him feel just a little bit lighter. Reefpaw strains to look up at the older she-cat, relief once again coursing through his entire being. He listens carefully to her instructions. "Okay, Ternwing!" He huffs, readjusting his grip once again.
His heart was racing, nerves settling in his stomach but he knew he had to trust his clanmates. Gulping back down the anxiety that crept up, Reefpaw readied himself for when Coralshine grabs Ternwing's tail and lowers her down enough, Reefpaw was going to let go and reach for the black and white she-cat.
"Bite, Coralshine."
As soon as he hears the command, Reefpaw pulls his back legs up to dig into the side of the cliff. When he gets a proper pawhold into the dirt, he uses whatever strength he has left to launch himself towards Ternwing, fear clenching his heart as he no longer holds onto the cliff. With his paws outstretches, he aims to hold onto any part of Ternwing, ready to sink his claws into her in order to get a strong enough grip.

T E R N W I N G at jagged bluffs, accompanied by coralshine & reefpaw
The pain of being bitten made her grit her teeth. She had no time to think about it, though. Reefpaw had leaped forward, sending a shower of rocks and dust spiraling into the waters below. His claws glinted in the light as he reached for her. Instinctively, she dug in her paws. When his claws pierced her fur, she hissed, but her other arm reached for him all the same, and she sank her claws into his soft, young pelt.
Come on!
Snarling from the strain, she pulled his body upwards. The crumbling ground lurched beneath her, but she leaned against it and dug in her feet. The pull on her tail was awful, and a cry rose in her throat, but she swallowed it down. She wouldn't let it escape. She would do nothing until they were safe!
Lunging forward, she sank her teeth into his scruff. She bit down hard and growled into his fur. Her limbs screamed as she found her footing, and forced herself up the cliff again. She shouted for Coralshine to pull, but her words were lost against the apprentice's skin. It didn't matter. She was going backwards, step by step, and the edge of the cliff was right behind her.
"Go!"
Climb! Back the way I came! Quickly!

((may i,,, hop in w/ a rogue? :3))
Armeria || at Jagged Bluffs
The large and bulky she-cat was strolling down the borderline, enjoying the wind buffeting her fur. She gazed out at the rolling waves, inhaling deeply and tasting the delicious salt on her tongue. The tides are low today, she thought, inspecting the rocks below. In other words, tasty snacks abound. “Mm,” she hummed, toeing the line of the border. The stench of clan cat was thick, but she was feeling daring. She’d just seen the morning patrol come through just moments ago, herself neatly tucked behind a conveniently-shaped rock. Her stomach was growling.
Technically, Armeria didn’t have to cross the border to find food. It was just easier, more… thrilling. Besides, it was fun to taunt and tease these stringent cats with all their silly rules. So it was at a jaunt she trotted over the line, careful to only emerge after the morning patrol vanished, and padded the other direction along the bluffs.
It was then she heard the loud calls and shouts, her ears perking up to catch the sounds of… fright? Usually the sound of other cats while she was dancing on their territory had her quick to hide, but something about the panic palpable in their cries gave her pause. So, against her better judgement, she carefully approached the spots of colored pelts against the cliffs.
To her bewilderment, a cat crawled right over the edge of the cliff. Wha - are they trying to nab something on the cliff face? she wondered as another cat chomped on the first cat’s tail to act as an anchor. Surely no prey is worth risking -
As Armeria leaned over the cliffs herself and looked over towards the cats, she caught sight of exactly what the cats were risking their life and limbs for. Oh dear, she thought. I probably should stay out of this. Probably. As she watched the two smaller fluffs of fur cling on, with only one in distance for a cat to grab, Armeria couldn’t help but sigh. “Ah, well,” she mused as she poked around the cliff face, seizing a long root sticking out from the edge and yanking it until it sprang free from the rock and sand. “Might as well. ‘M not doing anything important today.”
She then picked up the pace to the cats gathered on the edge of the cliff, not wanting to spook them by speaking too soon and accidentally sending them toppling over the cliff face. Armeria waited, head tilted to the side, waiting until they were on steady ground.
“Need some help?"
((her full name is armeria maritima, bc she is a whole scientific nerd i dunno if i jumped in a little too soon, but she can help out w/ pearlpaw))

Coralshine -- Jagged Bluffs -- w/ Trenwing and Reefpaw
As soon as Trenwing's weight dropped, Coralshine's eyes widen and she forces her paws to dig into the ground even more. Her teeth bore into the warrior she-cats tail even more, wanting to secure her hold and place on the ground. She was too focused on keeping Trenwing up that she didn't even notice as another cat began to approach them. The medicine cat prayed to Starclan to keep her strength as she acted as the counter-weight.
Her ears twitch when she hears Trenwing's command and immediately the red she-cat began her paw steps backwards, struggling a bit as there was now more weight on the other end. It helped immensely that Trenwing was now padding backwards up the cliffs, especially now that she had Reefpaw in tow.
Once they had spilled over the edge, Coralshine made sure that the she-cat had enough room on the ground before she let go of Trenwing's tail. The poor she-cat nearly collapsed as her muscles burned, happy to see that Reefpaw was safe, but dread soon began to set in as she realized they still needed to get Pearlpaw free. Her heart races as she wonders if she has any strength left in her to hold Trenwing up once more. Coralshine immediately shakes the thought from her mind as she remembers the herbs she's brought for the two apprentices.
Now that Reefpaw was safely back on the horizontal plane, Coralshine wills her limbs to move as she goes over to retrieve her herbs before approaching the young apprentice. She bites off a couple of thyme leaves and a juniper berry before laying them in front of Reefpaw. "Eat these, it'll help you regain some strength back as well as help with the shock you're most likely in." As she waits for a response, a different voice catches her attention.
Coralshine turns and is startled by the sudden presence of Armeria asking if they needed help. Her mouth opens and closes like a fish, too nervous to answer to this nonclan cat so her gaze turns over to Trenwing, seeing what she had to say.
Reefpaw -- Jagged Bluffs -- W/ Trenwing and Coralshine
No matter how hard his heart was beating at the moment, Reefpaw felt more stable than ever as he dangled in Trenwing's grasp. His limps manage to wrap around the she-cat's neck to secure himself more in her hold, being careful not to choke his savior. He can see just how close they are to being back over the ledge, and once they've crossed and are back on stable ground, Reefpaw gives a cry of relief as he collapses to the ground.
His limbs burn with intense heat, shaking now as he lays on the ground. Soon, his body feels numb as if adrenaline were taking over and Reefpaw finally feels safe enough to sheathe his claws. He notices how his pads are bleeding, scraped up from rock and debris as well as from his claws being pulled on too much after having to support his own weight for so long. As Coralshine approached him with some herbs, he gratefully chewed them up, his face twisting at the odd taste of both the thyme and berry.
As he waited for the effects of the medicine to kick in, his attention is caught by an approaching she-cat, he noticed as she dragged a root with her. He figures she must've seen the commotion. "My sister is still down there! She's caught on some branches, I don't know how much longer they can hold her." Reefpaw responds immediately, giving no time for either Coralshine or Trenwing to respond.

S h a r k p a w at Jagged Bluffs || with Conchpaw, Coralshine, Ternwing, Armeria & Reefpaw ➣ The apprentice had finally managed to catch his breath, though his lungs still ached - as did his whole body - from the exertion. The gray and white tom still trembled, his prone body flush with adrenaline as he pressed against his den mate tightly for support. He would deny it later, that he had needed the comfort the Conchpaw had given him, but at this moment in time he was more afraid for his siblings than about his reputation. His amber eyes flashed to the newcomer, widening at her sudden appearance. He had not even heard her approach, his ears still ringing with each heartbeat. Uncertainty itched under his pelt, unsure whether to accept the help or not. His siblings were still down there, even if this was a loner, surely another cat would be helpful? Before he could consult Conchpaw, Coralshine began to struggle and heave and within a few tense moments Reefpaw and Ternwing were safe on top of the bluffs. Without wasting time, Sharkpaw darted forward, pressing his face into his brother's shoulder fur and inhaling his scent as tears threatened to choke him. "Reefpaw. Thank StarClan," he breathed, though fear still ate at his stomach when he remembered Pearlpaw was still hanging on for dear life.

T E R N W I N G at jagged bluffs, accompanied by everyone under the sun
Scrambling over the edge of the cliff, Ternwing's belly practically dragged across the ground as she slunk away from it. Her chest heaved as she moved. Her pupils were wide and glimmering. Her claws cut furrows into the ground, and she trembled from toe to ear.
'Need some help?
The newcomer's voice made her freeze. She swallowed hard before forcing herself to stand. A fine layer of dust covered her nose from where she'd pressed it against the ground, and now she tasted it in her mouth. Reefpaw's fur was stuck between her teeth as well, and she looked to the tom as he answered the stranger. Aside from him, no one else answered—not even Coralshine, who gazed at her expectantly. After a moment, she realized why.
They're waiting on me.
Turning her eyes onto the she-cat, she inspected her coolly. She was large and muscled, while Ternwing was tall and lean. She wouldn't stand a chance against a cat like her in a fight, and the thought made her ears press flat against her head. Still, she was offering to help, and as she glanced at the branch she carried, she felt something loosen begrudgingly in her chest—relief.
Smart, she thought.
They needed smart, even if it stunk like an outsider.
Nodding towards the edge of the cliff, she beckoned for the rouge to follow. She legs were stiff as she walked. "One of our apprentices is stuck down there," she told her quickly, "hanging from a branch."
Turning to look back at the huddled group of apprentices, she watched as Sharkpaw nosed his brother's fur. Conchpaw was standing behind Coralshine, and he watched as she administered her herbs. His eyes darted to Sharkpaw after every blink.
"I heard it splinter," she said in a hushed tone, "so, we need to act fast."

Sylver//At Jagged Bluffs//Confronting the cats Sylver stepped out of the shadows, towards the cats, scanning them warily. She wouldn’t be able to fight off one of the cats, let alone one of them. It had been a long time since she’d fought, and she was malnourished and small. “What are you doing here?” She looked up. “Why is there a cat in a tree, again?”
