Of course - that's the original point of the bridge, isn't it? Tarkalor didn't actually set it up as a backdrop for Heroic Fights at all. Any guesses how many spearmen fit into the same width as a wagon?

ROTFL! This is ironic understatement, right?
To be fair, most Orlanthi seem to struggle with the idea of being unheroic, and on this occasion Kallyr did have very good reason to be out in the open. But yeah... in general... "illuminate battlefield" isn't quite the same as hiding.
Seriously, though, we did establish that the top of the Gate can be reached by troll missile fire.

"I'm bored, let's hit something" is no way to plan strategy, it has to be said.
