Get thee to the Build Farm.

Rules of the Evil Overlord #76. "If the hero runs up to my roof, I
will not run up after him and struggle with him in an attempt to push
him over the edge. I will also not engage him at the edge of a
cliff. (In the middle of a rope-bridge over a river of molten lava is
not even worth considering.)" <http://www.eviloverlord.com/>
