The robotic priest continued, ‘If you’d like to enter Tattersall’s raffle, take the stairs to the left and descend to the crypt. There you will meet the creator.’

I needed reassurance before going into this robot’s dungeon, ‘Then what happens?’

The robotic priest elaborated with his metallic voice, ‘You only get one entry, and there is a chance you win all your desires, but also a chance you’ll lose everything.’

The robot priest replied, ‘It depends on how you have lived your life.’ Then he slumped a little as he shifted into power-saving mode, his arm still pointing to the stairs on the left.
