You insert the ATM card in to the automatic teller machine and punch in the proper personal identification number. You hear a series of beeping noises, followed by a mechanical voice saying "Insufficient funds for transfer." Then, due to being soaked by ceiling sprinklers, the ATM short-circuits, detonating its self-destruct explosives. You dodge the blast, but are shot in the heart by a shower of freshly minted gold zorkmids. ...Except that you aren't, since the would-be lethal zorkmids bounce off of the cheap plastic imitation of the Amulet of Yendor which just happens to be covering your heart for some reason. It still hurts a lot, though, and you fall unconscious. ... When you come to, you see the exploded ATM, the shattered remains of the imitation Amulet of Yendor, and about 14 gold zorkmids lying in a pile of sprinkler water. You look around, and see the security guard on the floor with a gold zorkmid stuck halfway into his forehead.
You scoop up the 14 zorkmids, and - delicately - yank out the forehead-coin. A fountain of blood does not spout up from his wound when you remove the coin, despite how cool that may or may not be.
You pry the hand-held cannon from the security guard's cold, possibly dead hands. Ohh, yeah. In your face, medieval fantasy genre!
It's called the "MagiTech Thundaga 3000 Mk. I", but all you need to know is it's a kickass laser cannon that fires glowing blue pain with a satisfying BZZOW, doing several dodecahedrons of damage in a single blast! And you don't have to worry about ammo because it's powered by your own awesome, which, considering your progress so far, is not likely to run out.
