Ask the Conformer for help
Can someone escape Piranesi without changing at all?
|
The Scapegoat
"The change can occur by proxy," says the Conformer. "If the prisoner can find a free volunteer. A difficult task. To my recollection, it has only occurred a handful of times in our history."
"Imagine a besotted romantic, willing to sacrifice their life to free their lover from Piranesi. But to lose their life is far, far easier than to sacrifice their identity, when their identity is tied inextricably with their love. To free their loved one they must kill the love itself. Few can accept this."

Make yourself a scapegoat for the Servitor
Change yourself on the Servitor's behalf.
|
The Scapegoat
If the Servitor is grateful, it does not show it.

Advanced query needs investigation

Convince the Servitor to change itself
Change can be healthy, even for a member of its kind. You will not be its scapegoat.

A Frosty Pause | ||||
Successful event | ||||
A Thoughtful Pause
"The lesser being misunderstands me." The Servitor's hollow monotone somehow manages to convey impatience. "I cannot change."
It pauses. "Or at least... I had not thought so. Perhaps I can try. Perhaps that is allowed."

Lead the Servitor to the exit
The lamp has fallen from its wrist. It has changed enough to be freed, or you have changed enough on its behalf.
|
|
Freedom from Piranesi
The Conformer guides you, and you guide the Servitor. Up a dozen twisting staircases, until finally the exit is in sight.
Together you emerge, blinking, from Piranesi. The Servitor gazes up, drinking in the sky. "Take this being back to Death's Door, in the Blue Kingdom," it says. "The Servitor will endeavour to see the lesser being rewarded for its service."

Lead the Servitor to the exit
The lamp has fallen from its wrist. It has changed more than enough to be freed.
|
|
Freedom from Piranesi
The Conformer guides you, and you guide the Servitor. Up a dozen twisting staircases, until finally the end is in sight. The Audacious Servitor sighs in profound relief.
Together you emerge, blinking, from Piranesi. The Servitor gazes up, drinking in the sky. "I cannot return to the Blue Kingdom," it says. "I have changed too much. They will execute me, or worse, attempt to change me again. This is what I am. Take me to New Winchester. I want to leave my old self behind, and I have heard the Reach is where one goes to disappear."

Finish speaking to the Servitor
The Conformer stands a little way away, patiently waiting for you to finish your business.
