Sentinel Comics RPG Core Rulebook

Scene 2
A few tests determine that the cosmically
empowered force bubble being generated by the
drummer Snare is impenetrable to simple damage.
However, that does not mean it can’t be influenced.
DISRUPT THE FORCE BUBBLE
Description
As long as this bubble is active, Helfyre are able to
feed on the energy of the crowd by playing their
music! It’s going to have to come down before
something disastrous occurs.
Action
On a hero's turn, they may attempt an Overcome to
shrink the bubble. Each success forces one member
of Helfyre out of the bubble in the order below.
Resolution
Screech
Drudge
Deep Root
Blister
Snare
Disable Cosmic Antenna
Outcome
Completing the challenge by finally disabling the
Cosmic Antenna ends the scene, as detailed in the
Conclusion on page 266.
Twist Examples
MINOR TWISTS
The Power of Rock: Boost one member of Helfyre
still within the Force Bubble with the Min die.
Sound Minions: The Cosmic Antenna spawns
Sonic Projections who attack the heroes.
Overcome Action Examples
• Rockstar can grab her guitar and counter-perform
a sweet riff to disrupt the music, creating a
disharmonic feedback loop.
• Aeon Girl can use her cosmic nature to alter
the flow of energy into the antenna.
• Muerto can haunt a device near the stage
to channel current into the bubble from The
Cavern’s electric grid (but he cannot pass
through the bubble even while insubstantial).
• Muse can reach out with her mind to
telepathically distract Snare.
• Headlong can hurl frictionless, accelerated
objects at the bubble.
Whatever reasonable Overcome action the
heroes come up with to take down the bubble
should be considered. On each success, the bubble
contracts, popping one member of Helfyre outside
it… and ready to fight the heroes! While in the
bubble, they do not take part in the fight, content to
fuel the cosmic antenna with heavy metal! Outside
the bubble, they grin and take on the most annoying
hero within reach.
Sonic Projections
Minions (1 per hero)
Description
These ghostly energy beings seem focused on
draining energy from the foes of Helfyre. They
move in time with the music.
Ability
Conduit: Whenever a sonic projection damages
a hero, one nearby member of Helfyre recovers
health equal to the amount of damage dealt.
260
Audience Interference: The crowd, affected by the
Antenna, grab at the heroes, Hindering them with
the Max die. (If the challenge from Scene 1 was
completed, use the Min die instead.)
Cosmic Channel: The Cosmic Antenna produces
extra energy, and one of the villains outside the
bubble receives a +1 persistent bonus.
MAJOR TWIST
Heavy Metal Thunder: Boost each active member
of Helfyre with the Max die.
Collapsing Cavern: The building begins to collapse.
If the heroes don’t put a stop to the performance
by the time the Scene Tracker reaches the next
zone, The Cavern will be no more.
