[Anya looks rather affronted at this suggestion, especially with Colin's silent demonstration. He wants to inflict more damage on her store? Not to mention all the stock down there they might break. Her own plan may not be more involved than "the pointy end goes into the vampire," but she shakes her head in disagreement and tries to shrug off his hand.
Of course, being even one step into the basement has made her vulnerable. The ubervamp below has grown impatient waiting for its prey, and before she can press forward, it leaps up to grab her ankle through the riser and pulls.
She screams, but she has enough presence of mind to try to brace herself with her other foot, and turns the blade of her sword down to stab at it.
And she thought "From beneath you it devours" was meant to be figurative.]
