I think the idea is to have the final peasant be above the enemy and to drop the “missile.” Assuming the missile is a Small or larger creature, the falling rules from Tasha’s would apply:

If a creature falls into the space of a second creature and neither of them is Tiny, the second creature must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be impacted by the falling creature, and any damage resulting from the fall is divided evenly between them. The impacted creature is also knocked prone, unless it is two or more sizes larger than the falling creature.

In other words, a max of 10d6 damage, DC 15 Dex save to avoid it entirely.

That's just circling back to the point of needing to be directly above the enemy which isn't happening. You're not having a line of people who are able to transfer one creature from hand to hand only for the last person to be standing on a cliff that just happens to be positioned directly above the enemy. If it's a line of people then you NEED an elevated position like a cliff or a building, otherwise everyone would need a flight speed and position themselves just a little bit in the air each time.

That "idea" is even worse than what I took at face value. You'd have better chances just throwing it.
