[Something Probably Not Too Important Or Helpful] Tut, it looks like the window was broken from the inside. The blood, and there's a lot of it, seems mainly on the inside too, although you see some streaks down the tower outside as well.

[Update: Yes, yes I shall.]

Okay, you all rush back down the spiral staircase. Down past the level you entered on, down past a few more locked doors. The screams continue, then suddenly stop. As you descend a couple more levels, you hear a soft squishy sound instead. Shining the lantern around, you realize you must be on the ground floor (you see the other, internal side of the giant metal sliding door).
