As you reach the stairs carrying Mars with Aeryna, you hear another *CRACK* and a heavy crossbeam from above you comes loose and slams down onto the stairs, splintering them with a crash and a spray of embers. A low groan from the now unsupported ceiling rings out beneath the sounds of the blaze.
“We have to jump! Now!” Aeryna yells through a fit of coughs.
More embers spray your way as the heavy support beam sinks deeper into the jagged planks of wood that once were stairs. It isn’t a tremendously far jump, but doing so while carrying and balancing a flailing body with another person beneath a ceiling threatening you with imminent collapse was not exactly covered by your military training.
ATHLETICS CHALLENGE!
