Su Xiao pulled the lever, kaka, the gears inside the thrower rotated.
With a thud, the base at one corner of the thrower fell off, causing the whole thrower to tilt slightly.
Su Xiao was stunned, wondering why the lever pull, promised to launch, resulted in losing a corner instead. Unwilling to give up, he pulled the lever a few more times.
Thud, thud...
The bases at all four corners that were supposed to stabilize the thrower fell off. Su Xiao never expected that the most conspicuous lever was for disassembly, not activation.
Walking around the thrower a few times, it was evident that Su Xiao wasn't adept with precision machinery. Setting traps was fine, but deciphering the thrower's structure was a lost cause.
Having a thrower and Green Phosphorus Burning Bottles but unable to launch them was frustrating; his chance for significant merit points vanished because he couldn't operate a thrower.
"Damn dwarf craftsmanship, why design it so complicated."
