Turning north the stairs go up another 20 feet to a 2nd landing where the stairs then turns left and go up 20 more feet to a 3rd landing. The 3rd landing is a 10x10 landing with walls on the tree sides that don't go down.
Since you had noticed the blood drops before you can see that they continue up to the 3rd landing and there is a pool of blood next to wall on your left.
Alben also notice that there are small hoof prints in the dust on the floor, and the blood drops on the way up he also finds a piece of his robe that was torn off. Examining the the wall leads you to wonder what Shadow was doing there for so long.
