Description: Punches are giant, gruesome jack-in-the-boxes that carry heavy hammers. They serve the Caretakers on all levels of
reality. They can be aggressive, cruel, officious, and (at best, usually) stuffy. They range from malevolent to merely arrogant.
They move by sliding on the floor or, sometimes, jumping. They are often surrounded by soft, frightening music along the lines of
nursery rhymes and children’s songs.
Reflection: Punches usually don’t manifest directly on Chessboard Zero—their Presence is too low. They will often lurk on
Chessboard One looking for an Infected to press into service if they have some message to be sent to someone on Chessboard Zero.
Wherever they are there will be an increase in things like surveillance and bureaucratic cruelty and red tape.
Sleep: A Punch can retract into its box and wait. It has a 13- Perception and, if someone comes close, they’ll hear pop goes the
weasel. If the Punch detects them (makes the roll) he’ll spring out (often striking).
Capture: If a target is caught in a Major Hold, as an 8 REA Long action the Punch can vanish with them, taking them back to their
master’s abode.

Armor 2
Damage Slice 5 PEN
Description: Two foot long flying razor blades (like the kind that fit into old-fashioned shaving razors—not straight razors). They
travel in packs and often nest in filing cabinets or large electronic junction boxes. They fly through no obvious means and will slice
their targets. Razor Blades are most often found on Chessboard Two.
Reflection: The Razors are sometimes found as real discarded Razor Blades in the area. Meticulously seeking them and finding
them and breaking them will make the Chessboard One (or Two) are safer.
Hurl: The blades do not fly all that fast—but if they take an 8 REA Long action and reduce their chance to hit to a 9-, they can hurl
themselves 9 yards. They will usually hover at range and then hurl themselves in. A subject can choose to either block/dodge or
strike them on the way in.
