Ballista Post
A staffed ballista with a 16 m firing range. Its bolts splash over 2.5 m; its protection radius is 14 m.
The Ballista Post is the heavy shot of the protection family. Its warden fires slowly but hard out to 16 metres, and every bolt also damages whatever stands within 2.5 metres of the target. Its protection reach is the smaller 14 metres.
