However, while the railing provide a moderately good cover from any danger that would come from the side, they provides absolutely no cover against any danger that would come directly from the bottom of the staircase...

”Watch out!” Illit suddenly shouted…

…And her shout is followed by a sound of two crossbow bolts being fired.

The sounds came from the darkness at the bottom of the staircase.

Heeding Illit's warning, Koriisa dives towards the center of the staircase, attempting to avoid the flying bolts that she heard but cannot see.

Amy heard Illit cry out, and crouched low to the stairs, trying to make herself a harder target to aim at; hoping to have missed the crossbow bolts. She held her breath,...not that it would do any good,....but it was an automatic human reflex when paniced, as she tried to avoid being hit.

!For Koriisa only!
As soon as she heard the sound of the bolts flying, Koriisa dove to the center of the staircase...

...And immediately heard one of the bolts fly somewhat to the right from her.

Doing her best to be a small and darting target, Koriisa runs towards the railing opposite the one she had just left, but angling slightly downwards, attempting to get at least a few steps down while avoiding bolts. Koriisa listens carefully for the sound of any more bolts and prepares to either dodge or deflect them when they come. "Illit," she hisses, "What's on the sides of this staircase? How far down is the floor?"

The staircase isn't especially wide...

...And so it took Koriisa just a few moments to get to the other side of it.

Needless to say, the crossbowmen didn't have time to even reload their weapons, let alone let the bolts fly by now.
