Yeah, but you battle the creatures downstairs, and the other upstairs, so if you decide to run straight against the upper floor, I think you'll be slayed yourself with that many foes attacking you...
Actually, if you haste your party, you can run right by the nasties downstairs. You could then lure some of the baddies down the stairs, and then the demon will attack them instead of you! (assuming you have Prot from Evil on yer group).
I did it solo, and ran right up the stairs. I killed the guy with the CF first, picked it up, and used it to wipe out the rest of the group. Great Fun!!
