A Crumbling Arch is a Sunless Skies Story Event.

Story description[ | ]

You follow the Performer up corkscrew stairs and across walkways as wide as your hand. The floor is sickeningly far below. Finally he stops at the threshold of a grand stone bridge, beneath a cracked arch. He turns to you, lifting his spectacles and scratching at the withered interior of an eye-socket. "It's too dangerous for us to go further unless you've learned the First and Second Rules of Piranesi," he says.

Actions Requirements Effects Notes
You've learned the First and Second Rules
The Performer grins and bows, extending one arm. "Then proceed."
Higher, Higher
"Don't look back. Don't name the nameless." You recite the rules carefully, and the Performer smiles. He leads you under the arch and across the bridge. You had thought yourself as high as you could go, but you soon realise your mistake: a towering spiral staircase awaits you at the other side, concealed on the far side of a hollow column. The Performer crooks his finger, and you climb for what feels like miles.
You haven't learned both the First and Second Rules
"Then we should return to the gate," says the Performer, grinning. "Come back when you're a veteran of this place."
An Endless Descent
The Performer leads you ever downwards.
You haven't learned both the First and Second Rules
"Then we should return to the gate," says the Performer, grinning. "Come back when you're a veteran of this place."
Outside Piranesi
The Performer leads you down, down, down to Piranesi's main door; and then out into the light and air, where the sky seems dizzyingly wide. He bows mockingly, turns on his heel, and skips back to the Chaplains' cottage.
