There are ballistae in several towers throughout the landing (at North Gate, GO EAST TOWER, GO STEPS, GO STEPS or GO WEST TOWER, GO STEPS; at West Gate, CLIMB LADDER)

Operational Instructions

LOOK BALLISTA to see the ballista's status

PEER BALLISTA to see what its aiming at (and to see if there's anything to fire it at)

TURN BALLISTA to move it toward a different window (to PEER anew)

If its not loaded, GET a log and LOAD BALLISTA, then PULL BALLISTA, then FIRE BALLISTA

The ballista is not loaded with anything and appears to be untaut and not ready to fire.

XXX hefts one of the logs up and loads it into the light ballista.

The ballista looks to be loaded with a large sharpened log and appears to be untaut and not ready to fire.

The ballista looks to be loaded with a large sharpened log and appears to be drawn taut and ready to fire.

XXX fires the ballista and a huge arrow arcs off into the distance!

You watch as the huge arrow descends towards the ground far away and savagely impales a straw-stuffed dummy!
