Re: Near Al Menir
In reply to Gareth (msg # 764):
"When a sufficiency of weight impinges on the pressure plates, the repeating crossbow is activated. After ten bolts are spent, a small automaton will reload a cartridge from the storeroom.
A system of weights and counterweights control a sluice gate to flood a room, which drains back from the secondary reservoir and resets by activation of a treadmill operated water screw. At the same time the room floods, mechanical fish with a buoyancy system are released, the gas is released when they latch, causing the target to sink as the water rises.
Failsafe release is arunic dial."
