provide her/them with a table top siege engine.   

I have a Trebuchget provided by Humphrey and I must admit that it is a
good and fun thing.  Although I await the day that some other noble
turns up at a big event with another siege engine so we can have a bit

was finding a prjectile that the kitchen crew would allow us to use.  We
