Broken Sword

I was inside a computer roll playing style game and we were killing various monsters. Most were like zombies, but some had heads like a gorgon or flew like a harpy. I was slaying monsters and had cut my way through to a staircase that lead up the side of a large wall to a platform above. As I reached the platform my sword stopped working. As the monsters advanced I started pressing all the buttons I could see on it. Swearing I ran back down the steps and was thankful the zombies were slow ones as I continued pressing buttons trying to get the sword to work. I was backed into a corner just as the sun come out and the zombies started melting into the ground.
