Nightshift 42: Kitchin' Fixins' Rooftop
[from here]
As quickly as he could, Kvothe shoved the wrapped knife he'd scavanged in his belt, and started climbing. It was difficult with his right hand still barely usable, but he'd had years worth of practice and plenty of inspiration to get up there before he was noticed by any of the creatures. One did try to grab him, wrenching his ankle painfully and causing him to nearly lose his grip before he managed to pull away and kick it in the face, but he made it up.
There was no one else on top of the building, though he could see figures moving around on other roofs farther down the street, barely visible in the dark. He pulled his knife back out and hunkered down near the middle of the roof, alert for any sound or movement that could be someone or something following him up. He didn't know if the creatures could climb, but he didn't want to be caught by surprise.
