Alanna's ears were sensitive. Being an elf, she could pick things up twice as loud as others can. She shook her head and started to walk back up the stairs. Holding her ears close to her to try and block the sound, she wasn't really paying attention, she fell on a step and slipped off of the edge. Alanna fell down and slammed on a mountain of gold. The wind got knocked out of her for sure, so she lay the for a minute struggling to catch get breath.
