To turn the wheel would require a great feat of Strength. But Tharfish the Dwarf stares at its mechanism suspiciously (QM: this revealed by your caution + Dwarf detect traps ability). Why do the ropes from the wheel lead to that Wooden Shrine Archway, where the Penitent Knight appears to be kneeling in devotion with his face turned away? Why would you set any lever, winch or handle so far from the entrance gate?
