Arius descends the stairs ALMOST to the bottom, but before he steps off the bottom steps, in front of the obvious rat burrows that their fallen comrade had been dragged into, he will crack his whip on the stones right in front of the nearest burrow.

He is acutely aware that his back is exposed to more stairs descending behind him, but is hoping his companions can warn him should as surprise come.
