Backstory

The Bell-Tower Blaster is what happens when the farm takes the bell’s philosophy — loud is good — and puts it in a portable, highly directional package. It shoots sonic pulses: focused blasts of sound that reveal stealth, stun ghosts and generally ruin the day of anything that thought invisibility was a plan.

It is the tower’s younger, angrier cousin. Less reach than the full Bell Tower — the range is honest — but far more personal. A stealth chicken hit by the pulse has a very bad moment; a ghost hit by the pulse has a very long moment, because the stun gives every other defence on the board all the time it needs. The blaster does not ring for the whole field. It rings for one target, and that target knows it.

Bigger Bells makes the pulse hit harder, Royal Bells makes it fire twice as fast, and Rapid Fire keeps the blasts coming. Its weakness is honest: short range. The blaster has to be close enough to make itself heard. The flock has learned to treat it like the tower’s bodyguard — the bell rings, and the blaster deals with whoever the bell found.
