Thank you Master Sergeant, I will relay your orders concerning the siege equipment incase of emergency I will give my life and that of my men for the Priador before they fall into enemy hands. A list is to follow with a key at the bottom concerning the use of the various ammunitions in the different machines after several rounds of testing.
......................Catapult.............Arbalest Ballista.......Homing Fire Ballista
Acid Bomb........F T F..................F T F.....................F T F
Discus Bomb.....I A.....................Fires E..................Fires E
Flame Bomb.....I A.....................Fires E...................Fires E
Pulse Bomb......Fires E................Fires E...................Fires E
Rock Bomb.......F T F..................I A.........................I A
Snow Bomb......F T F..................F T F.....................F T F
Sound Bomb.....F T F..................F T F.....................F T F
Key: F T F= Fired to Far IA= Invalid Ammo Fires E= Fires Effectively
All three kinds of ballista bolts fired effectively out of both kinds of ballista. Thank you for your personal oversight in ths matter Master Sergeant.
*Signed and Sealed*
Sergeant Aerin Stormbringer
// by F T F i mean that they either reached the edge of the map before showing any visual effect or were lost in the "fog" of the effective view of a PC fully zoomed in and I saw no "boom" of any sort. My personal favorite is the Discus bomb btw :D sorry for all the periods but only way i could get it to actually do a list like how i wanted it to show. //
*another small note left on the master sergeants desk* I have also had a few thoughts on the training of the men, if you would authorize a few training dummies placed in the firing field so we might better learn how to aim, and which shots to best utilize. I plan on training three men fire teams for each weapon one to aim, one to fire, and one to take the spot of another should they die, i would also ask for a detachement of archers to cover the posistion from retalition during reload times.
I also thought it would be entertaining and perhaps proffitable to sell tickets to the populace and take bets on the outcome or distance by use of the catapult to execute prisoners by launching them with the machine, this came to me after seeing a few of the Gnoll soldiers load a goblin into it and firing...unfortunatly the goblin got stuck in one of the trees and is now rotting there..

The greatest joy for a man is to defeat his enemies, to drive them before him, to take all they possess, to see those they love in tears.
