newmonster    "Ferrous Wheel"
descr         "When Gruber Hassleboff first begun his work on an entertainment device everyone was excited. Imagine seeing the world from above, looking down and not up on deer and men. Hoburghers across the realm gathered to the great autumn festival to experience first hand the joy of looking down on foreigners, especially invited for the occasion. The great iron wheel, adorned with gems illuminating the festival grounds, was pulled by a procession of clockwork soldiers likewise glowing in the evening. The awed Hoburghers pushed and squeezed to get in line for the first ride. However, Gruber Hassleboff, famous for his prodigious weed consumption, was not the genious he claimed to be and his grand iron wheel, when loaded with Hoburgher riders, started to malfunction, rotating at unintended speed, only to suddenly stop, flinging horrified Hoburghers through the air far beyond the festival grounds. Gruber was banned from the festival for life, but being a Hoburgher he did not despair. Instead he approached the Burgmeister and was allowed to develop the Ferrous Wheel and remake it into a self propelled siege device, flinging large boulders instead of Hoburghers. As siege devices go the Ferrous Wheel has an unparalleled rate of fire, but the boulders it throws are small compared to those of regular catapults."
