The harpies in the upper scaffolding were reduced. Twelve dead in the swarm engagement. The upper nesting zone still had movement — I could see silhouettes shifting up there — but the number was lower and the behavior was different. Cautious. They had lost enough to register us as a genuine threat rather than a prey population.
That bought us something. Not safety. But a different shape of danger.
I ran the numbers while pushing a mid-weight column block southward with Plate and two of the central-mass climbers.
