Book of Knots - Creatures Name: Envelopers Presence 13 PHY 08-12 STR 06 BLD 01 STC 15- REF 10 COR 10 REA 11 AGI 11 INT 08 RES 08 MEM 10 WIL 11 DP 3 Minor Major Critical Wounds -5:1pt Move creep 4ys 5y/s float Grapple 6+ 134 DP 4 To Hit 13- To Be Hit -7/-6 Armor None Damage Varies Description: They are six-foot tall almost two-dimensional paper people (usually with two-dimensional top hats). They are often found folded inside books or otherwise near areas where writing (or typing) is a common occurrence. They are physically often weak, but they may strike from surprise. When they attack, they grapple, and if they get a Major success, the target is “Enveloped”—trapped in an addressed envelope and then vanishing to appear at an address in deeper Wonderland. Envelopers seem to originate on Chessboard Two as some sort of manifestation of fear. They are stealthy (they make sounds like paper rustling) and they can theatrically creep up on a victim, startling them before striking. Reflection: Envelopers usually manifest directly if they can. Mailed: A character that is enveloped will be held for three seconds after which the Enveloper will vanish and the subject will appear (a bit the worse for wear) at some Wonderland address (often a Caretaker who wants to talk to them) a few days or hours later. The address is legible if someone is outside to see it. Once a person is Enveloped, the Grapple jumps to 18! It’s hard to get out. Fragile: Envelopers are just paper—they are easy to rip and tear. Each pt of damage will force a roll. The first at a 10-, the second at a 5-.
Name: GoatFooted Balloon Man Presence 12 PHY 13 STR 16 BLD 09 CON 13 REF 12 COR 12 REA 12 AGI 12 INT 12 RES 12 MEM 11 WIL 12 DP 30 Minor Major Critical Wounds 10 30 60 Move 8y/s Sprint 16y/s Grapple 18/16 Description: An old man with a stretched face and goat’s feet. He often carries balloons—and if you look closely, sometimes you can see the face of a screaming child in each of them. The Balloon Man is a Chessboard Three monster— dedicated to the spread of terror. When he comes to Chessboard One, he’ll stalk children as best he can, usually preying on runaways but sometimes on those who have slipped under society’s radar or “strayed from the path.” These creatures are very moralistic and greatly prefer to take victims who have been breaking social rules (although sometimes they will go after a generally good, well behaved, person since “no one is truly pure of heart.”) Reflection: The Balloon Man looks like a creepy older man (often seen at a distance, sometimes moving “wrong,” as with a too-fast jerky motion like speeded up film). He may appear as a derelict or a janitor. Taking: The Balloon Man will attempt to get his subject into captivity (often using an old house or cave or basement for a lair). Once the subject is Infected and held captive they are made to inflate a balloon (one of the many the Balloon Man will have). This may take several days since the breaths must come from a scream of terror. These breaths are hot—and the balloons rise. When the final breath is breathed (usually about 1 day per 3pts of the target’s WIL) the subject will be sucked inside and become a balloon. If the balloons are pierced or the air is released, the terrified screams will come spilling out—however, every last breath put into the balloon must be emptied for the victim to be freed. The Balloons are often taken down to Chessboard Four and sold to Naughts. Sometimes they are released in the lower realms to drift until they pop, depositing the hapless victim somewhere strange—and with no good way to get back. While within the balloons the victims exist in a state of constant terror—it is up to the GM whether they are severely traumatized or may recover. Killings: Balloon Men will sometimes kill (usually with an exotic array of knives or other interesting signature methods). Often they reserve murders for those who have crossed them or sought to cross them. DP 30 To Hit 14- To Be Hit +0 Armor 1/3 Damage Strike: 6 IMP Damage Kick: 9 IMP 135 Book of Knots - Creatures
