Those lowest on the stair hear something at the same moment they feel a sudden rush of air.
Target (1-2 Pelenwin, 3-4 Boris, 5-6 Victor; 1d6=3)
Pelenwin and Victor are thrown aside like nine-pins as a something squeal-snorting and bull-solid (1d20=16) smashes into Boris hard, taking him violently at the neck and tearing furiously into him as he collapses suffering (4dd=6,6,5,3) a terrible 14 hit points.
There is a sickening crunch of bone and gristle, the sound of gore splattering on stone, and then a great clatter of spilling coins and clanging mail as Boris is smashed into the wall, dropping his sack of loot.
By the time those on the lower stair grasp they are under attack and turn to see Victor and Pelenwin scrambling to their feet, there is a great, fresh blood stain on the ground and Boris's boots are vanishing from sight around the corner... leaving a thick glistening blood smear behind them.
"Baal's Filthy Hole!" swears Victor, scrambling up the stair as he regains his feet.
"Some light!" yells Pelenwin, pulling his helm back off his face "I see not a dam nable thing!"
Boris is gone.
