Gramps looks around for any windows that are big enough to move through at the base level.

Scrambling back up the stairs, and knocking out a lower pane, you see that the tower was not plucked and dropped here alone, but has a great lump of stone still attached to its base. The initial jump out the window would be just to the ground outside, less the a ten foot drop, but the drop beyond what is now a cliff edge to the alien terrain below looks to be much greater. Perspective being a bit odd here, it's hard to judge, but at the very least, not a jump to be attempted casually.
"There is a passage to the caverns below the tower... or was, through the Mistress's bedroom.", Larry provides as another option.

Keller suggests that the group prepare for a jump together in case the place falls right away, "but I'll check out the cavern way with Larry to see if it's feasible. I'll be back quick," he says, and then following Larry's directions, moves, dashes, and then cunning action dashes 90 feet a round to check out the cavern route.
In the charred bedroom is a grate about chest high that is somewhat easier to get into than it would otherwise be if the tower was leaning the other way. After shimmying through a bit, you're able to stand in a mostly natural cavern, from there you are able to get a stone door open, and a tunnel stretches onward. The way seems clear here, but without following it to the outside, you can't be guaranteed that the way remains clear all the way to where the tunnel intersects with the outside, but that it's held up this far seems to bode well.
"Do we continue, Mister Keller?"

The pair dash onward, Larry emitting light from his left hand. The tower gives a rumble, tossing Keller and the metal man against a wall as pebbles rain down on their shoulders.
Up top, as the rest wait for Keller and Larry's investigation, you feel the tower shift and lean even further, a crack of stone sounding as something on the floors above gives under the strain.

Bolt chuckles, "I can go first and catch you if you're that worried. But if we go out that window we're gonna have to climb down the outside of the rock."

Keller and Larry go to turn back... and after retracing a few turns, discover that part of the wall has caved in. It looks like it may be passable with a bit of work clearing the rubble, but at a glance, it's hard to tell how stable the rubble is to be able to remove it safely.

Welp, Keller looks to Larry. "We don't have time to clear this, so let's see if this tunnel opens up,"he says, already sprinting. He reaches out over his psychic whispers (should still have hours left on that) to whomever he still has connection with. "Tunnel collapsed behind us, don't wait for us, we're looking for a way out below."
And he keeps sprinting, helping Larry through turns and over rubble.
