The Trebuchet

Story so far

The The Princess Posse managed only one trebuchet of their own, and it was one of the smaller ones. Carl and Donut had looted it on the Sixth Floor from some Dream Elves. The original plan called for far more of the weapons, but confusion over whether they'd even be permitted to build them, combined with the early end to the Ceasefire, left them with just this one.

It was loaded with roughly fifty Dazzlers, with almost two hundred more piled nearby, since Dazzlers were among the few trap modules Baroness Victory would allow in the trebuchets. Imani buffed the soldier aiming it before rejoining the front line. During the assault it fired the first of four salvos, spreading Dazzlers in and around the middle section of the craters Louis had bombed in front of the enemy trenches.
