Fiore will start taking the sheets and make a rope as long as possible.
If the sheets are not ripped or cut the rope will only extend 24 feet. The tower is 60 feet, and the distance from the bed (the only object in the room heavy enough to tie a rope to and hold its position) to the window is about 12 feet.
It's why he has a dagger, to cut those sheets up to three pieces.
Guida looks on at what Fiore is doing. "I suppose you want me to keep the griffin busy while you and the lady climb down the Tower?"
You slice up the sheets and tie the trips together, then find the resulting rope is only 55 feet long.
(to realize why would require an artes liberales(mathematics) roll).

"Actually, my dear, I want you to be ready to bring the lady down with you, while me and that griffin play hide and seek."
And with that he drops the rope out the window, after securing one side of it to the bed.
Guida seems to appreciate the cockiness. Whether she's convinced remains to be seen. "Hide and seek?"
"I'm small, and quite quick. Hopefully, I can get his attention enough to let you escape.'
The end of the rope dangles 17 feet above the ground. Seeing the bedsheet rope dropped out the window the griffon flies straight at the tower, veering away some 5 feet from the window to avoid hitting the tower itself.
"Climbing down that rope, trying to dodge its claws and beaks, then jump down and run away? I'm concerned you'll get maimed, Fiore, trying to play smart with that bird."
Guida looks out the window, trying to gauge how to take off with her boots and engage the griffin without getting attacked in a bad spot. She does not take off yet, allowing Fiore some time to reply.
Fiore spreads his arms "Do you really see anything here we can seriously use? None of us is a great ranged fighter, and besides, we don't have decent ranged weapons. I do not think that I can easily evade it, but I have my reflexes, my wits, and my luck, and I'll have to trust to that to carry the day against it, if only to draw it away so you two can escape. Besides, you can more easily take her out of here, and call for help if I can't make it out easily."
"You forget the rose bush, I think. We are not getting through without a fight with the griffin. At best, its a fight long enough to carve a path out through the roses again, but most likely we need to kill, disable or capture the beast."
"It just means I have to either find some way to overcome the griffin, or survive long enough for you two to get through it." And with that said, he grabs the makeshift rope, and starts going down, keeping an eye out for the griffin.
"Men." she says to Gretel, without expanding her reasoning further. He's got a dagger while swinging on a rope, and he's still trying to protect the flying lady with a full hauberk, sword and shield, she thinks. Guida won't let Fiore get slaughtered on the rope and will eventually jump through the window to attack the griffin while he and Gretel climb down. Still, aware that a wound to a mans 'ego is more dangerous than a claw to the ribs 
, she'll let him dodge a plausible first attack before engaging the Griffin sword in hand.
The griffon swoops in to attack Fiore, swiping at the man dangling on the makeshift rope (attack 20).
(shouldn't there be an Initiative roll first?)
Rolled a 3 on Initiative
When the Griffin swoops in, he will try to let go off the rope, and grab it again.
Defense roll 12
What would Fiore do if he won the initiative while the Griffon is still 20 feet away in mid air?
The tactical realities of the situation require some form of mechanical acknowledgement.
This
point being that Fiore cannot decide to attack the griffon, only respond to the griffon's approach.
attack advantage 8, damage +10 for a total of 18-soak.
Would his Luck help in his Defense? He has no Soak.
