No, it doen't matter if you've killed a Thief or two--even if you've killed ALL of them, it wouldn't matter. After you've done the coronation, a Thief appears there--his sole purpose is to say a big guy in plate and a mage went down those stairs, meaning, go south young man, if you want to beat the game.
Now. If you've been teleported to the Thieves' Guild but the stairs still don't work, you have a bug. Solution: Cheat.
CLUA Console:MoveToArea("AR0146")
You may need a semicolon at the end...I forget. That'll teleport you directly to where those stairs lead.....right to the very END of the level, rather than the beginning, but hey, if won't matter much if you beat the thing backwards.
