    First, you get an ogre to bend a tree down to the ground. Then you fasten a bucket to the top of the tree, and put a rock in the bucket. Then you tell the ogre to let the tree loose, and the rock flies out and smashes your enemy’s castle.

    This is the invention of the tree-bucket.

      That’s actually more of an onager-style catapult, not a trebuchet style one.

        If it doesn’t use real Asiatic wild ass, it’s not an onager, it’s just a sparkling mangonel.
