Completing the quest awards some Windows xp.

You decide to use the Task Manager as your old trusted weapon in the battle. Throw a pair of dice.

  • If the sum is greater than 6, the Wizard wins the battle, and you have to restart the PC/laptop, losing all unsaved work in the process.
  • If you land a pair of ones, twos or threes, you defeat the Wizard, and should now decide whether to give it another chance to revive and hopefully behave.
  • If you land any other values, you defeat the Wizard, but realize there's no hope to turn it to the good side or at least bring it under your command. Further exploration in the area tells you a greater evil called Windows 11 is behind the Wizard's atrocities. Your current attribute levels are no match for Windows 11's bugs. You lose with a fatal BSOD. Microsoft salvages your "diagnostic" information. Lower your shield and mana levels to 0, and regret your decision to upgrade to Windows 11 for three turns.
