"There is a loud explosion, and a twenty-foot hole appears in the far wall, burying the dwarves
in rubble. You march through the hole and find yourself in the main office, where a cheering band of
friendly elves carry the conquering adventurer off into the sunset.
*** You have won ***
In that game you scored 350 out of possible 350, in 288 turns, earning you the rank of Grandmaster
Adventurer!
Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, see some suggestions for AMUSING things to do or
QUIT?"
In the "AMUSING" section, a menu item with "Did you know..." notes that weird
stuff like "The five dwarves have a 96% chance of following you, except into light, down pits
or when admiring themselves... watering the hinges of the door rusts them up again..."
