I would expect the 'jump' check to leap acros the stairs to grab the overhang would be pretty easy (I did something similar a zillion times as a kid), no more than a DC 10.  Then maybe a DC 15 or so climb or STR check to pull myself up and over the rail.  The climb would cost me 4 squares of movement, the jump 1.  I'd still have 1 square of movement + a std action.  Most likely I would be using the remiaing std action to draw my weapon and shield.  Hopefully all still invisible.Attached are some jump and climb checks just to speed some things up if you mostly agree with the above.<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2132477/" target="_blank">Roll Lookup</a>Looks like I would make the jump but fail the climb so I would be dangling after 1st move action.  Use 2nd move action to try climb again...<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2132483/" target="_blank">Roll Lookup</a>Uggg... may still be dangling there depending on the DC.
