Yesterday was the epic season finale of our Masks RPG. The shards of the fairy mirror created seven portals in different parts of Capstone City, through which Rime Court Hunters began pouring. Uh-oh! The Salvatores leapt into action.
Torq (The Nova) focused first on the robot revolutionaries who’d hijacked the Hand of Ultimatus and stolen the fairy mirror. His gravity powers served him well there, though when he shut down the portal in Captain Invincible Plaza, he lost control and blew up the whole place.
Sonia (The Soldier) was the first to shut down a portal. She also had to fight her friend Furnace to free him from the Rime Court’s influence, and, as she confronted her Forge supervisor at the end of the adventure, accidentally was utterly changed into fire.
Panic (The Delinquent, completing her transition to the Doomed) followed her visions to a hidden sanctuary, where a skeleton gave her a cloak that will help push back against her Rime Court curse. It also changed her powers—which came in handy when she had to fight her own brother, who was also under the Rime Court’s thumb.
Halfpenny (The Transformed) raided Quartermaster’s cache, then was yanked by Rime Court chains to a rooftop, where he managed to get free and then depower the Invictus-affected kids being used to trap the adult heroes, the Crimebusters, in their base.
Captain Bowmaster (The Beacon) had a huge day: commanding F.A.T.E. soldiers, taking over a Rime Court ballista to shut down the last portal, convincing Doc Quantum to make him a deputy Crimebuster, and even upgrading his codename (he’s still deciding between Colonel and General Bowmaster).
In the end, the city was saved—though there were hints the Rime Court has something sneakier brewing. Halfpenny destroyed the last hunters but, losing control of his powers, also knocked out Torq. The team’s next mission will be a fantastic voyage inside their friend to save him!
