Journal Entry #29- Dwarven Ballista
What was supposed to be a fun training exercise has turning into a full scale battle. We were quite honored to be invited by the dwarves to this function but had we known this was the exact time Balagos had planned to enact his revenge, we’d likely have politely declined. Now we find ourselves desperately trying to figure out how to man a dwarven training ballista and are failing horribly at repelling the assaulting horde. Luckily, any hopes the evil red dragonhad were quickly shattered as he beheld Calamity, a sturdy, prototype dwarven ballista sitting firm behind a row of training siege weapons. Her operators move like a Well Oiled Machine and their Dwarven Precision seems to be able to find the weak points of their opponent with every shot.
The Artillery Master seems to be giving the trainees precise directions as to when and where to fire as their bolts seem to connect with unerring accuracy as if he is able to calculate the odds on the fly and eliminate any misstep on the part of the Dwarves. Any damage caused by the dragon and his minions has been quickly undone by a Skilled Machinist and some of the teams are so skilled that a Rapid Reload can be performed and another shot fired before the evil forces even have a chance to react. It was with great sadness that we witnessed the fall of a Demolitions Expert manning one of the ballista but not before he was able to make a bolt strike home against the great dragon, causing much collateral damage to those around Balagos. I had better get this contraption to work if I’m ever going to earn my promised compensation of a Bag Of Diamond Dust after this is all over.
