Waitwaitwait.

Perhaps he can counter the quake? Diffuse the waves?

Be captured? Bide your time to then escape? Also you wouldn't run from a normal situation. He doesn't know what is going on, for all he knows he is helping the bad guys and the invaders are the good guy. I mean has he seen them randomly burning houses? They've been attacking in quite a civil manner.

they just annihilated a good chunk of a city

As Ellri said he doesn't have to die from the fall. Also what if you were to make contact with one of the falling stones would you not be able to manipulate it then?Also you said you wouldn't have oxygen, leave the top of the tunnel he digs open? If you're fast enough you won't use it all up before you're back out!

He has to be on solid ground, it's why he can't fly around on a stone disk.

It would be easier to move a mountain than to displace enough stone to make a tunnel.

All of this matters little, he wouldn't run, his personality doesn't allow it...

He doesn't even get to die with any dignity... He's just gonna crumple to the ground and die...

The Relics (No Plot/Fantasy/Character Driven/Worthy of Skepticism)

He's... he's gonna die. I-I got one post with him...

inescapable, no. You manipulate stone. Make yourself a cushion of some sort. Or perhaps throw dirt up rapidly enough to halt your drop. That's what Echo would've done. PCs have one distinct advantage. Cursed good luck in the worst situations. Enough to escape with their lives, but not necessarily unharmed. If you'd read up on the lore and imagery, you would have seen that the walls were tall. And that there weren't any ramps up/down the walls. There are stairs inside the towers, though.One tip. The shell was armor plated on the bottom too. your "lethal" rock spikes would roll it back, not perforate it. Besides, you'd have to see where it was, and unless the stone is funny, lots of dust/dirt/whatever would've been thrown up by the fall of the wall. You're trying to do too much at once, Free.

He can't do any of that, he's in th air at that point! he needs a connection!

You never mentioned the bottom was armored, if it was, how the hell did that evoker get in there? Regardless, if there was one hole and she was over it, my attack should have killed her.

Alternatively you could manipulate the rock into opening for you basically allowing you to tunnel underground, you could then use your momentum to go behind enemy lines. That's what I'd do myself.

He can't do that, where would he get oxygen? he lived in the brick because his soul was bound to it.

Yes, sep's advice is also fairly good. Use the ground to your advantage. Use it to escape. When anyone has got this much bad stuff happening to them at once, they'll be thinking about self-preservation, not about causing extra damage immediately. Unless, of course, they have no self-preservation instinct.An earthslide (above or below ground) would negate most of the problem of such a tall drop.

His powers do not work that way, falls will kill him. burying himself will kill him. He shouldn't be in this mess anyway, the fiest attack was more than lethal! you portrayed it as like four rocks scattering around, not multiple dozens of fist sized cobblestones (and other shrapnel) bouncing around at deadly speeds.

What?! Oh come on! So I'm screwed then? I literally show up, and am now forced to deal with an INESCAPABLE breaking of my character's legs as he falls fifty freaking feet, is immobilized, and summarily stabbed by a dude with a stick?

Do you know how many cobblestones are in a road? all of those EXPLODING upwards at once, with no room to miss, should have pulped the Evoker instantly! This whole wave shouldn't have happened!

The Relics (No Plot/Fantasy/Character Driven/Worthy of Skepticism)

Oh, I thought he was like a 'lead from the front' kinda thing. Lemme fix that...

he's in a pile of rubble. Intricately worked stone, when it collapses like this, causes, all sorts of chaos. And we'd expect he has a broken bone or twenty. He did just fall fifteen meters or so down (or roughly fifty feet, if you're using the illogical imperial system). Drops above three times a person's height are considered to be high-risk of major injuries. With your character being the height he is, broken bones are fairly guaranteed. There's also the potential for spinal damage and internal bleeding, but that's probably more up to you to figure out.Besides, you'll steadily drain yourself of energy. Unless your character is like Kheris, which yours isn't, you won't have ridiculous stores of it. And there's an entire army around you. To the Empress, may she live forever, the soldiers are worth sacrificing. If a thousand die to remove an obstacle, it is worth it. Mind you, knowing Echo's character, that won't be preferable. At least we think the walls were that height mentioned above. We can't check the model now, but we did not decrease their height when we modified the model last. We may have changed it to twenty meters. We can't quite remember. If your character is 8 feet tall, and the walls are 50 feet, you fell roughly 6.25 times your own height. Not healthy.

Oh, I ran. Of course, I am now in a position where I am THOROUGHLY screwed. I am relying on intimidation and chaos here. Of course, I need fucking support or I lose and die.

Baron Isaiah Markul, The Black Knight

As the Baron's attack hit home, something was not right... It was armored on the underside? And then he felt the earth... it was in pain... Oh no... "Everyone, to me!" He commanded as He planted his foot down. Alas, only the Archer from before was close enough as the wall was obliterated... Except for some of it. Most of the gate remained, Markul willing the stone to stay together, trying to soothe it's agony. He didn't stop the waves, and he grimaced in the extreme pain of the effort, but he stood strong. But it would not last... Grabbing the Archer, he raised a stone disk and stepped on it, moving some stone to 'surf' down as the gate he had kept intact crumbled. The wall was gone, and at that point it became clear the city had no chance. Now, Markul knew nothing of the sides that fought, but he did not like to be defeated, and he did not like allowing the very possibility of one who had hurt the earth so to live.

So, these people, whoever they were, had made an enemy. Time would tell if this would even matter. He set the Archer down, dusting himself off. "So, I can see this city will fall. So I will be taking my leave. You are free to do as you wish, though I'd prefer if you didn't throw your life away..." He said, placing his hands in the brickwork of a nearby building as he parted the wall, almost like curtains and stepped through. The Archer wasn't sure what to think...
