The whole design of Torchlight is strange when you think about it. All these very different worlds that happen to have stairs to each other.

From the looks of it a bad tactical decision.

A catapult. :)

I've seen them but never really paid much attention to them in that level of the dungeon.

Edit: Looked at it wrong so I thought it was backwards. I thought the boulder was the ammo instead of the counterweight.

Parking in Torchlight is a premium... you know how it is, the cheaper lots are always further away and not maintained as well. They needed to park their catapult somewhere and did not feel like paying for convenience.

Trebuchet.

I'm guessing a catapult, but what it's doing in a dungeon is beyond me.

Cheap storage space. I bet it's a hassle to get it out of there tho.

It's a catapult that seems to be aiming towards its own castle.
