DDT MK1 (Deployable Dwarven Turret) [picture here] Origins: Sat Hunched over his desk Bwelch finally puts down his charcoal stick and smiles at a stack of papers to his left is a small model of a weird looking ballista and behind him in his workshop is his new invention. Grabbing an ale from a nearby chest he reminisces how the idea started. ~~ While scouting with a few of his fellow dwarfs (Dorimnur Goldhand, Kragdin Starbreaker, Redwin Hammerforge, Thoradin Darkmantle) and coming upon 2 giant beast (elephants) he starts to wish he had one of their ships in close with its ballista and bolts to take the beast down. Mentioning it to one of his kin he started to think of a way to make a smaller ballista that can be carried in to battle and mounted on a light weight stand or even on the back of a fellow dwarf on all fours, The only downside to him focusing on this he misheard what the plan was and jumped out on a infernal bear and decided to just throw one of his beloved axes. This only annoyed the bear and in turn it made a horrific noise alerting the demon scum to our positions and c making the dwarf run to thiar small boats to get away fast. After meeting up with the dwarf back at the pub at the city feeling that he had failed his brethren he handed over the green eyed twin axe as a show of humility and then went straight to his room to start work on these designs, hoping to earn his breathing trust once again and maybe give them a leg up in this battle with the demonic scum that plagues the lands. ~~ Now after days of hard work and some minor mishaps the prototype is built to the best it can be now he just needs to show his breverin and see if they can help test the new weapon. Description: The body is made from a sturdy but lightweight wood, its length is around four foot long and the two detachable limbs are made from Black Ferrum, there is a crank system attached to the limbs that hold the rope and the rope is made from entrails treated and made to be highly elasticated to allow for some higher power on the underside is bracket that allows it to be mounted on a variety of surfaces. Capabilities: an fire bolts with the same power to the normal ballista but the accuracy is very poor so the closer to the target the better, the rope also doesn't last too long so the mobile ballista only has a low number of shots before the rope needs to be changed out. Siege Information: To use this you will need two people to carry all the pieces and it takes six emotes to set it up and use it. Example- … placing and setting up the legs … attaching the body to the legs … attaching the limbs and rope … cranking the weapon to fire state … loading bolt … firing A 100 roll is then needed to see the success of the shot and based on the bolt how much damage it does, if it fails there is a chance of the rope breaking or even the body snapping (if roll a 0 -2). Redline: -: difficult to make so can't mass produce them -: the accuracy is very bad thus needing to be within 100 blocks of the target to even get a hit -: it can break and become extremely useless -: once set up it takes 3 emotes to dismantle and move to new location -:requires two people to use OOC Explanation: This will allow for more mobile sieges and events and allow for a much broader range of RP (Example: stealth teams to sabotage the enemy from a flanking position) People who Helped in and out of RP: -Ireheart84#9848 -BDanecker#1120 Posted on my phone so I will update the format and stuff and add pictures soon.

As a member of the guild i can tell you that it Is a brilliant opportunity to work with the best craft people this land has and a way to show your skills and learn new ones.

This is what they have https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/171611-siege-equipment/

not my idea thats what it says in the siege equipment rules

the rules on siege are “Assign a Siege Leader, a player responsible for typing /roll for each of the siege weapons. Both siege leaders will /roll to determine initiative.” which means that chat must be enabled to do the /roll command

There is no draft system i could use which i would have used and these items i have planned out but i didnt save the siege documents to my phone so i cant look at them to get everything right And once i find out why i cant upload images either from mu phone or pc then i can correct it and upload the irl historical images and the MC builds i have done for them and to cover the intro to each post im going to put that in a spoiler box so you can read that section only if you expand it. Once i get to my pc i will do a more intestive post and it will look a lot better and read alot better

As stated i am on a mobile device so the page is very limited in view and hard to get everything right with spelling and grammer I will be sorting this out when i get to a pc and i will aslo post pictures once i am able to as the forums arnt alowing me to post pictures i have messages mod staff but no reply on why that is happeing I may just postva imgur link

I did try but for some reason the forums arnt loading right for me i will change the parts that need changing once i get to a pc

Origin/Backstory. (OOC) While i was building the wall to my settlement i started to think of diffrent siege equipment that could be used to breach the defences so i started work on desinging a few siege items for the server based on actual siege weapons used. (Rp Character history) (RP) Bwelch Azaghul started to redesign the siege tower to allow it more heath and more options as in its defensive and attacking capabilities. after a few weeks of studying the current version he came up with some old school dwarthen fixes, “why not strap stone to it” this new version would have a stone clad front and a longer rear that will counter the new waight at the front, there were some other problems that had to over come and this took bwelsh another couple weeks, in the end he added 2 more wheeel that took it to a 6 wheel base the rear of the base has a stone floor as to off set the weight and the internals were name more light weight . he then looks at making it have the abilities to attack, this came easy just strap a ballistic style crossbow to the top or maybe some archers so bwelch just reinforced the roof and added a anchor point tot he top where different attachments could be connected, happy with the new version he began work on the attachments Description https://imgur.com/a/4Pt8h1U the tower looks hefty and heavy with its stone cladding being very prominent Siege information Weapon: Siege Tower Weapon Cost: 3f00 Ammo Cost: N/A Ammunition: N/A Function: Allows players to climb over enemy defences via a moving tower. This tower moves at a rate of two blocks every two minutes when attackers of 10+ or more are standing by. Red lines and restrictions Due to its wight its slower and can be attacked more as well as cant go uphill Flammable As this is a alteration of a current design it is fitting with lore

(RP) while looking at the design of a battering ram Bwelch thought to himself why can we send in men via a roofed ram with out the ram in it he started work on a design that would offer a lot of defence for the troops inside tho allowing then troops to get in and out fast so he came up with the tunnel design allowing the men to run in and out but providing them defence on all sides. Description https://imgur.com/a/mP6osmR the galley is a covered ram design with its ram internals taken away the wooded room provides defence from falling objects but the walls hay is vulnerable Siege information Weapon: Battering Galley Weapon Cost: 1000 Ammo Cost: N/A Ammunition: N/A Function: Allows players to get close to the walls safely, The galley must have six players to operate and will move after those six players stand in place for 1 minutes in time total.

(RP) Bwelsch thinking that the ladders used during sieges was unsafe with its easy to knock over and its stability being dependent on the floor its placed on he began to come up with ideas eventually settling on this a wheeled base with the ladder strapped to it and by applying iron hooks at the top it will grip the walls making it virtually impossible to push away or topple Description https://imgur.com/a/iifhY2L The base is a simple flat bed with 4 wooden wheels and a section that holds the ladder upright the ladder is a standard ladder with a iron hook on each arm top that will swing in to place when pressed against a wall Siege information Weapon: Siege Ladder Weapon Cost: 500 Ammo Cost: N/A Ammunition: N/A Function: Allows players to scale walls, moves 10 blocks every minuet when 2+ are stood close to it Red lines/restriction Crew can be easily killed as no protection Weak to fire as made from wood and rope

(RP) history of the character Bwech Azagul thought to himself what if you got a horse on a wall that would be hard to deal with and quite funny so he got to work coming up with some weird catapults and sling devices but he eventually came up with was the "Agger siege ramp" this large ramp design is a alternative to the ladders that are currently used, the ramps are made from a wooden frame with cladding and 6 wheels it seemed to be the most appropriate design. Description. https://imgur.com/a/HsgOAOh the main body it made up mostly of a solid log frame with plank cladding the ramp it self is designed in such a way that nearly anything can go up it even have a section at the start that can fold up for easy movement Siege Information. Weapon: Agger Siege Ramp Weapon Cost: 2000 Ammo Cost: N/A Ammunition: N/A Function: The ramp has 2 phases This tower moves at a rate of five blocks every two minutes when attackers of 15+ or more are standing by. docent move is less than 10 deployment and use - the siege Leader, will /roll for each group to use the ramp low numbers have a chance of insta braking the ramp and injuring any nearby men Red Lines/Restrictions. Can not be operated with 9 or less members on the crew Fire can easily destroy it If it brakes the crew are injured and unable to fight anymore Can only be used on flat ground as it can not go up a block Sorry for any misspellings and lack of format i am posting it useing my phone

I like the idea but maybe i found this hard to read maybe format the sentence structure a little more and a lack of Specific Red Lines would mean that it may not get applied. tho the idea is a good one and it would be nice to get some more RP alloys on the Server.
