Yes. (Apologies for the crusty image, couldn't find a better one with someone in such a good position for measurement.)
For reference: this is the building we're currently inside. The people near its steps seem about average in terms of height, and they're on the highest step. Assuming the guy I'm highlighting here is about 6 feet, the drop anon was suggesting would be about 24 feet. If he was exceptionally short and only 5 feet, it'd still be 20 feet.
We're not on this specific side of the building, but the room we're in is on the same level. Anyone dropped on their backs from that height, even with a cotton cushion, has about a 1/5 chance of dying instantly upon reaching the ground. If they're lucky, they'll just be permanently paralyzed for life.
Given that Taylor is barely a foot long and only about 5ish pounds, he wouldn't be able to hold up Huntington whatsoever and would immediately fall out of the window with him. Even in the best-case scenario of Taylor's silk cord snapping before he's dragged out of the window, that's a very dead governor and possibly a badly injured mandible for Taylor. Worst-case scenario they're both dead in very public fashion, and there's only one possible culprit.
This is all from very rough and quick estimates-- I don't want the quest to rely too much on realistic weight calculations or anything like that, but I have to bring it up here because I want to explain my reasoning and, even in the most generous possible interpretation of anon's choice, I can't really implement it without severely fucking up the party in ways that would place undue blame on the audience and just make the story less fun to read and write.
Paralyzing's fine, though. I can work with that no problem, so I'll write tonight's entry off of that. How it ends up just depends on the dice now, and I don't think even the worst possible rolls will end in a death there.
