Valin heard the resonating cries from within the building. He wasn't sure if he could actually make it to the roof before the flames devastated the stairway. Regardless of his thoughts he let his instincts take over and kept moving. His feet taking him a fast as they could to the top of the building. He knew that the dwarf was behind him, but he couldn't really be sure of the others. As he made it to the top of the staircase he drew his sword. He wasn't sure if there was going to be a host of bandits a top the remnants of the building, but if there were he would be ready for them.
