Flinger
The flinger is a dual transportation and entertainment device located near the Tempest River in River's Rest, up a set of stairs near the waterfall leading the local Order of Voln outpost. The person being launched is likely to sustain injuries upon landing.
[Tempest River, Mound] | |
A circle of brush surrounds the mound top like a monk's tonsure, leaving its crest bare but for a number of weeds and an old rust-covered catapult. Over the top of the brush, one can spy the Tempest River as it disappears over the falls and the resulting cloud of ever-present cloaking mist. Even further beyond, the twinkling lights of homes and businesses of the turtle egg-shaped island can be seen. Barely discernible in the darkness, the catapult looms over the weeds. You also see an overgrown pathway leading back to the old port village and a pile of tiny pins. | |
Obvious paths: none |
Usage
One person enters the catapult and SITs down while another person PULLs the lever. The wheel and dial can be set at any time before the lever is pulled. The dial determines the region the rider lands, while the wheel fine tunes the exact location. The dial has six setting options, while the wheel has seven positions, making for a total of forty two possible combinations, although not all of the settings are unique.

When someone gets flung, many people around the area of River's Rest and outdoors may see a glimpse of their body flying overhead:
