Otherwise, it occurs to me that it might be important to know how the Portcullis works. It's a heavy iron gate that drops from above, held up by some chain and rope, where the chain runs out. There is a crank-drum for winding it in the east wall (on the side of the prison, not the storeroom). No one wants to be under it when it comes down. ("Under" in this case is any of the six squares along 61/62 at AM-AO). It's possible that Rowlow will consider shooting it out this round, but quarrels are not the best way to break ropes or chains. It's probably a waste of his time to try. An axe is better. But if you want to bring it down, you'd probably want to do it from the wrong side (IE store-room side). And if the mechanism ain't broke, then they can just wind it back up (though that might be tough to do under fire, and it will take longer than a round).IF the portcullis comes down, it would mostly be a shooting match from both sides, and it will provide 3/4 cover.</blockquote>
