Yep, I managed to cut the ladder in such a place where the invading Tsorig landed at the base of the bridge-turned-ladder and managed to lure him all the way to the Smouldering Lake. You know that trick where you can 'ride' the ladder in the Painted World if you cut it and stand in the right place so you land in the spot where you'd end up if you climb down the ladder? Well, I did that on an NPC in another location.
Been playing some more Cinders, and I managed to pull off something I managed only one time before.
