Trapped Lathe

A workshop lathe rigged to fly apart into a storm of whirling blades and gears. A cord run from its trigger to the doorway means someone can spring it from across the room, raking everyone nearby with razor fragments until its springs wind down.

Unleash Fragments [Reaction] Trigger The lathe is jostled or damaged, or its trigger is remotely pulled.
