1 FORTRESS ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Large panel, bird’s eye shot: Grip flips over backward, letting himself drop into the horde of ninjas below him.

NARRATION
Irrational from their view.

2 FORTRESS ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Grip lands with his feet on the shoulders of two ninja. They look surprised, he is already coiling to jump again.

NARRATION
But with a purpose they don’t suspect.

3 FORTRESS ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Grip, having sprung off the ninja’s shoulders, dives head first for a window.

4 EXT. FORTRESS COURTYARD - NIGHT

Grip lands on the ground, his legs flexing deeply to absorb the impact of a long drop.

NARRATION
The outer wall is only a few dozen yards away. Such a simple distance to cover, so quick could any man with a good turn of speed reach it.
