As you eyes adjust to the unaccustomed brilliance, you make out several figures moving toward you. Straining, you finally make out the details. It's an entire army of foot soldiers and cavaliers, rushing onward to vanquish some enemy country and trampling everything in their path! In a panic, you realize that after all your hard work in trying to esacpe from that dungeon, the end has come anyway. When SUDDENLY, what to your wondering eyes should appear but -- can it be?! -- yes, it is! It's a TIME RAY!!! (You can tell it's a time ray from the blue and purple stripes.) As the ray envelops you, the world congeals and slips out of horizontal- hold, your senses boggle like Swiss cheese in a chocolate factory, and you hear the voice of your mother calling you to dinner from early early on in your childhood. At last, the welcome madness ends, and as the lab room comes back into focus, the chief technician says to you, \Oh, so it worked this time. Did you feel anything while you were gone? The valuable items you have recovered: A Worn-down sword A suit of armor A Treasure chest You have been commended for your haul, and have *REALLY* won this game! The adventure has ended. (turns 33) There is a random chance that you may be killed by the dwarf and the giant. For an alternative ending don't take the sword, armor, and chest up the ladder.
