Clockwork Watchman
Medium Construct, unaligned
This mechanical being’s body is composed of brass and iron and bedecked in a loose uniform of the city watch. Its movements are slow but steady.
Lightly Armored Servants. Clockwork watchmen are more solidly built versions of the more common clockwork scullions (servant creatures in wealthy households, incapable of combat). Proper clockwork watchmen are built with iron parts instead of tin, and given keener senses. Many have small bits of armor covering their joints and most vital parts.
Constant Rounds. They endlessly patrol the city day and night, pausing only to receive maintenance and new boots.
Shouts & Stutters. Their speech is slow and halting, but their distinctive shouts and whistles bring human guards at a run.
Constructed Nature. A clockwork watchman doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.

A mechanism within the clockwork huntsman's chest can fire a net with a 20-foot trailing cable anchored within the watchman's chest. A creature can free itself (or another creature) from the net by using its action to make a successful DC 10 Strength check or by dealing 5 slashing damage to the net at AC 10. The watchman can fire up to four nets before it must be reloaded.
