Maybe they could make the check on their first turn in Round 2, after it changes, and if they fail (and you're a kind DM) you could let them make an additional check on their turn, per round, upping the DC by 2 each time.

<p>I personally feel like the coolest thing to have happen is for Viktor to survive but be all sorts of f#%&ed up (either he survives the fall, but his body is broken, or he is horrifically scarred either on purpose or by accident by the PCs during the final battle). If he dies, no worries, he has contingency plans. </p>
<p>One thing you want to do is have him locked away in "Hell's Heart" a shadowy maximum security asylum for the criminally insane, built like a Gothic fortress...yes, a lot like Arkham. :-)</p>
<p>If he dies, a contract for a raise dead with House Jorasco does the trick, but of course he still stands trial for his crimes and ends up put away.
