Escape

Escape is a supernatural ability in the Dishonored series.
==Characteristics==
Escape allows a user Marked by the Outsider to cheat death by turning them into a swarm of animals upon receiving a killing blow. The swarm will attack whoever killed the user then dispersed, and the user will then appear at a shrine or sanctuary of their choosing.
Variations of this power include the user either assuming a swarm of animals, typically rats, similar to the Devouring Swarm ability, or bloodflies.
The witch Granny Rags and Paolo of the Howlers Gang are the only known users of Escape. When dealt a killing blow, both of them are turned into a swarm of rats, with Paolo's swarm consisting of one brown rat and the rest albino. Curiously, Paolo himself isn't Marked but instead gained the ability through his zealous holding of a Void artifact created from the disembodied hand of Vera Moray.
==Trivia==
*Despite appearing twice in the video games of the franchise, the ability was only given its name in the Dishonored Roleplaying Game.Dishonored Roleplaying Game, p. 111
*According to the Dishonored Roleplaying Game, users must wait until the next full moon after being saved to use this power again. However, Granny Rags has shown she can use it multiple times consecutively, and Paolo can use it once a day.
