I theory I would have dropped to where if both Urga and I 5ft we flank next roubd
There's no way to do that. The ladder comes down on a section towards the outside of the building (rather like a balcony). There is no trap door.
Tirion snaps a shot off from his hiding spot:
if AC 30 hits, then points of damage...
plus points of sneak attack damage!
then he tries the sniper move of re-stealthing:
Flick
Init order:
Tirion
Flick
Villains
Billy
Bo
Urga
Bandersnatch
Tirion manages to squeeze a shot past all the bodies putting a solid hit to the meat.
Flick can't see any targets from his position above, so holds his action to heal as needed.
Two of the figures morph from human form to some faceless monstrosity, and swing at urga with their claws:
miss
miss
But they are utterly inept, so miss.
Rest of the party is up.
Yes, the door is open.
Bandersnatch attempts to tumble all the way through to outside the door If he doesn't thnk that is possible then he will just tumble to that open corner.
I'm not exactly sure how you will know or not. Do you happen to have knowledge dungeoneering to identify the foes? Without that information, I don't see how you could gauge your chance of success.
dungeoneering
Also I will try to tumble all the way through I guess...cause I can't thnk of what the question would be, what I meant though was the rules or tumbling through multiple baddies does it get harder each time? If it does then I will just go to my corner and make an attack if it does not then I will try to tumble all the way through...i hope 25 is enough
The rules for tumbling are the DC is their CMD+5 if through their space, and +5 for each additional foe you want to bypass.
You can make it to your corner safely.
Bander makes it to his corner and swings Snicker

Mr Took will continue sniping from his covered position:
if AC 22 hits, then points of damage...
and, if the target failed it's DC:20 perception check to spot Tirion in his hidden position:
plus sneak attack damage!
Flik is going to tie off the rope and start to climb down. He adds his own 50' to make sure it reaches the ground.
Bo will burn a grit for focused shot and let it rip at one of the ones in the back..
He'll reload one as a swift..
Urga power attacks the nearest creature.
Urga hacks a mighty blow into the critter facing him, and since Tirion had already managed to hit it by surprise, it goes down.
Bo moves over to get a shot, and it lands (too much movement to get 2 shots -I'll save the crit for next round, shame to waste it) doing solid damage.
Barndersnatch tumbles nimbly into an unoccupied corner and stabs one for a light blow.
Flick gets his rope ready in case they need to bypass the enemies on the floor below. Billy also waits up top.
Finding their foes too well protected for their natural attacks, the creatures resort to their longswords.
Two attack Bandersnatch and two attack Urga.
Bandersnatch

Urga

Party is up.
That attack misses w my shield up but it does pop and image

Bander slices and dices starting with a wounded one then moving on to another
Tirion carefully aims between Urgha's legs, and times a shot just as the half-orc is widening his stance:
if AC 24 hits, then points of damage...
if this target hasn't noticed Tirion in the shadows (DC=18), then there's another sneak attack damage!
and Tirion will pop a point of ki to take a 2nd attack on the same target:
if AC 21 hits, then points of damage...
and he'll even take his crappy secondary attack, hoping to put a third bullet into the target:
Urga power attacks the next creature that steps up.
Bo will fire twice again.. Burning a grit again..
Flick maintains his position on the roof with BIlly.
Basndersnatch continues to inflict pain on an adjacent target.
Tirion manages to dodge out of sight again, and put a couple bullets into the gizzard of one. (21 damage)
Urga swings wildly in his rage, but does not connect.
Bo puts his shots into the same target as Tirion and finishes him off.
The remaining bad guys continue to try to defend themselves with their swords. Two strike at Urga since he seems easier to hit, and one on Bandersnatch.

PCs are up again.
Once He has a flank Bandersnatch does his slice and dice routine

That's a hard corner, Urga can't take a 5' step there without provoking.
Bo will burn a grit and start into a new one..
He reloads a round as a swift..
Snicker: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 and
Snack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29 for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Snicker: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 and
Snack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

and since there is no flank I will burn a ki for another attack

Urga power attacks again.
as a Swift action, Tirion will pop a ki point to Vanish for a few seconds; he'll pull his Adamantine Wakizashi as he moves invisibly past Urga; then he'll lash out with his blade, striking the one Urga just attacked (if that one is down, then the one adjacent, of course):
if AC 16 hits Flat-Footed AC, then points of damage...
plus sneak attack damage!
Bo blasts one of the aberrations as Tirions sneaks into flanking positon and then ends it.
Urga again swings wildly, hitting nothing.
Badnersnatch engages a new target dealing out a series of swift blows.
The cornered foes fight back.

but in their desperation, they miss.
PCs are up.
once again Tirion will spend a ki to disappear, taking a 5' step to set up another swing with his blade:
(crit range 18-20)
if AC 19 hits, then points of damage...

Come brother! Let's finish killing these things!
Bo trains his pistol at the target.. He burns a grit for focused shot..
Urga rages and then power attacks.
Bo and Tirion dispatch the target to the east, and Urga and Bandersnatch dispatch the other one,
You are done with combat.
Bo will take a second to reload.. "Well that was exciting.."
Tirion reloads as well.
"I believe I'll test my brother's theory..."
Tirion will try on the big cloak taken off the big snake-oid thingy on the roof -- to see if it magically re-sizes (or is otherwise adjustable to hobbit-size)...
"This is NOT a Ring of Regeneration, by the way -- but it did seem to enhance my jumping ability: it seems to compensate for the rather shorter legs featured by my species! Handy!"
Bandersnatch searches the bodies.
Urga cleans the gore off his blade and growls at the fallen corpses, "Our adversaries grow bold. We must report this to the lord mayor and then set off at once to Turtleback Ferry and Fort Rannick."
Urga helps search the fallen bodies as he recovers from the fatigue of his rage.
"Urga, we've already noted the Lord-Mayor has been compromised -- it is likely he already knows of these thugs and their mission to interfere with our investigation. We might proceed to Turtleback Ferry immediately, before any more interference can be organized; or we might consider doing something about the Lord-Mayor. Leaving the sihedron conspiracy with a member bearing the power of that office could make our efforts increasingly difficult."
It is part of your standing orders to debrief with Williamson after each mission so that if you do get wiped out, they can send a new team which is up on the information.
So back to debrief and get the items identified
Each of the faceless stalkers had a masterwork longsword, and nothing else. Of course one of the stalkers fell off the outside of the tower, so you'd have to go find that one somewhere outside.
(ultimately 6 masterwork longswords)
You collect up all your loot, and head back to Williamson at the trade mission.
You are again taken back into Williamson't office for the debrief.
"So you did you find anything at the clock tower? You do seem a touch worse for wear. "
Billy pipes up "Uhh, sir, I'd like to request a transfer. This job is getting to be too much for me. "
"Yes, I suppose I can accommodate that. I think I've got some people who might be able to replace you for the next mission. We can get you on the next ship for home." and Billy leaves the office not really willing to meet anyone's eyes.
He signals an aide "Have Narissa brought in. I think she will do a good job of replacing Billy's capabilities. "
A few minutes later, the door opens, and a very large woman enters. She's over 7 feet tall, and wears a long duster. Under the duster is black enameled chainmail. On her back she carries a massive rifle that's over 5 ft long, also enameled black with brass fittings. The rifle looks like someone took an emplacement weapon and put a stock and lever action on it. Her belt and bandolier is filled with six inch long shells that look like anti-dragon rounds. She drops a pack on the floor (it hits with a solid thud, as if there were lead in it).
"Narissa Sandstone, Sniper and Hand to Hand expert." She says, unlimbering the massive rifle and leaning it against the wall next to her as she takes a seat on a bench that creaks and protests.
