Siege Weapons
- Example
- Ballista
- Bore: Also called a "mouse." A sharply pointed lever used to pick
out mortar from between the castle stones, and then eventually the stones
themselves.
- Catapult
- Battering Ram: A big log covered with leather or cloth to protect the
people holding it. Often the front was tipped in metal of some sort.
It was rammed against the gates of the besieged castle to attempt to bring it
down. Used by Cluny the Scourge, as well as Captain Tramun Clogg of the
Seascarab.
- Ram Catcher: Little more than a long rope looped beneath the battering ram
by the defenders in an attempt to take it out of the attackers' hands.
- Siege Tower
- Trebuchet
