newmonster "Earth Branded Ballista" descr "Every so often the Dwarven mines are beset by ogres, trolls and even giants. As a last line of defense, there is a mixture of guards and arbalests lining the main chamber. This is usually only a way to postpone the inevitable, should the giants have reached that far. However, from time to time a lucky Dwarf might get a fortuitous shot against a giant's head, felling the foul beast. Should this happen, the Dwarf is immediately taken away, given some privileges and training and set to man some of the ancient ballistas. A Dwarven ballista need not hit the head in order to defeat a giant. Despite being vital to the defense of the mines, some have been taken out from the mines in order to be used in sieges against our castles and cities." armor 1 hp 10 str 4 mor 4 mr 5 rank -1 siegeweapon 25 544 rangedweapon 25 545 meleeweapon 0 8 slow snow battleslow human fireres 50 coldres 50 aihold 1
