Pit and the Pendulum alternate ending

As the fiery stones were moments away from pushing me into the abyss, I saw a slit open in the wall ahead. My captors have decided to watch my demise. All of the sudden a mad idea crossed my brain, so mad it just might work. I had to time my jump just right or else I would surely fall to my death. The Pendulum was at its lowest directly over the pit so when it made its next pass I leaped for it. I made it and just barely cleared the razor sharp  blade at its base and clung to the arm. I could almost sense the shock of my captors, and in their hesitation I began to climb the arm of the Pendulum. Up an up I climbed until all I saw below me was a fiery square that encased the pit that was meant to be my tomb. The higher I went, an eerie silence set in. It must have been one hundred feet before I finally reached the top of the arm. Here I found a hatch out of the room. I enter a maze of corridors that led in all directions. I noticed a guard coming through on a patrol of the halls and waited for him to pass. I subdued him with a crushing blow to the head with a rock I found on the ground. Now armed with his sword and torch I was ready to face my captors. I slowly made my way down until I reached their control room. Once inside, I mercilessly slaughtered them except for one. I took this ones robes, broke his legs, and tossed him into the dungeon he had put me in. Then donning his robes, I walked right out of the dungeon. The light at the surface was blinding, but the feeling of freedom along with the fresh air made it well worth it. The rest of my day I spent far away from this place, but I never forgot my ordeal and supported general Lassalle's efforts to end the inquisition with my lucrative trade business.
