Book of Knots - Creatures Name: Trials Presence 7 PHY 12 STR 45 BLD 240 CON 13 REF 11 COR 08 REA 11 AGI 11 INT 11 RES 11 MEM 12 WIL 13 DP 240 Minor Major Critical Wounds 80 240 480 Move 18y/s Grapple 61/51 144 DP 240 To Hit 13- (+2 Large Wpn) To Be Hit +2/+2 Armor 8/24 Damage Punch 51 IMP Damage Hammer 80 IMP Description: Trials are giants with hammers where their heads should be. Their fists are blunt slabs of meat (their low COR for small stubby fingers) that they usually use to catch and beat people with. They stand about 2-3 stories tall and are dense for their size. They wear black judges robes. Trials are elementals of judgment: they prowl Chessboard Four and will find and punish those who they feel deserve it. Usually everyone deserves something (a broken leg, a smashed hand, etc.—resisting judgment brings on more punishment). Reflection: Trials usually don’t come up to Chessboard One (sometimes, rarely, Two). When they are around, people will notice a more punitive streak in authority figures (as the Trial dispenses judgment on the Shadows of those who disobey) . Hammer: The Trial can Hammer an opponent for an 8 REA Long action. Usually a Step attempt on the part of the subject will give the Trial a -3 to hit (the Trial rears back and then slams it down). This means that the Trial will either grab the subject or frighten them into taking their punishment (standing still for it). Name: Tygers Presence 11 PHY 13 STR 22 BLD 25 CON 14 REF 13 COR 13 REA 13 AGI 13 INT 12 RES 12 MEM 12 WIL 14 DP 45 Minor Major Critical Wounds 15 45 90 Move 12y/s Grapple 29/25 DP 45 To Hit 15- To Be Hit -1/-1 Armor 6/12 Damage Bite 24 PEN Damage Claw 13 PEN Description: Tygers appear as great, stripped cats (some are black and white, most are orange and black) with molten-metal glowing eyes and breath like a furnace or forge. They speak and are quite intelligent and urbane. Tygers are consummate stalkers and hunters. Their code of ethics requires that they both reveal themselves to their intended prey and explain the terms of the game. A Tyger on Chessboard One will project to Chessboard Zero (when their subject is alone, preferably) and explain to them that they are being stalked (and often when/where the Tyger will be looking for its prey!) If the subject is in that place, alone, while being stalked, the Tyger may attack and devour them! Reflection: Tygers usually don’t throw Reflections up to Chessboard Zero unless they are Projecting up to appear themselves. A Tyger stalking a copy room (its prey would be well advised not to go in there alone!) will sometimes result in an oppressive jungle heat seeming to coalesce in the area. Throw Voice: A Tyger may appear in person to inform their prey but may also simply project their voice to Chessboard Zero.
Name: White Rabbits Presence 09 PHY 10 STR 10 BLD 11 CON 11 REF 11 COR 11 REA 11 AGI 11 INT 12 RES 12 MEM 12 WIL 11 DP 45 Minor Major Critical Wounds 5 14 28 Move 8y/s Grapple 10/12 DP 14 To Hit 13- To Be Hit -1/-1 Armor None Damage Bite 2 PEN Damage Strike 0 IMP Description: White Rabbits are well-dressed, human-sized rabbits. They are intelligent beings who act as agents of Infection and descent. Their motives are unclear (although there is an element of the tempter about them) and they are known for making deals that will result in the target following them through open bleeds. As they can rarely manifest directly (they can, but don’t like to) they will use their Reflection to try to lure targets to where they can be led through an open bleed. Usually there is some offer or deal involved (which they are good about keeping). A person led to Chessboard One might be given an interview with a Shadow of a potential employer. Since the subject actually walked through a Bleed, they are casting no Reflection. The Rabbit may use its Presence to have the interview influence the subject (and Interviewing with a Shadow is usually more surreal but often easier to manipulate, such as through blatant flattery, than the real person). Thus the person will not be remembered but will find the real interviewer more favorably disposed towards the. Rabbit’s destinations are usually not especially pleasant for their subjects (they are usually taken to Caretaker’s Dramas) but the Rabbits, for their part, often feel some sense of responsibility for their victims and may be around later for some advice or help. Reflection: The White Rabbit manifests as a person with a certain shifty air about him—usually the aspect of fallen class or illgotten money. They are mannered and watchful. Navigate: The Rabbits can navigate the Linear Maze expertly down to Chessboard Six. They are capable of opening doors to it and taking characters safely down. 145 Book of Knots - Creatures
