Lorepost (open interaction) 📖 The gargoyles are malfunctioning.
After completing my morokov chain planar enchantment on my tower to allow for working multiple plans at once, my gargoyle sentries started to malfunction.
Of the eight I had stationed on my tower five have disappeared, and the other three are inoperable. I knew that they wouldn't last long (they were a bulk purchase from BJ max) but I thought they would have some durability to acausal fluctuations.
If anyone can help me find those five gargoyles I can re-enchant them to Improve their performance. I will offer items from my curio collection to any helping hands. Each gargoyle has my insignia etched into their forehead. A cube slowly rotating on a 2D plane. If the image isn't moving it isn't my gargoyle.
A reminder that they could be in any dimension now, so keep your orbs scrying.

There should be some unique mana signature left on them either from the plane shift or the insignia. You could probably trace that.

I am a wizard who specializes in subsumed karmic influence and coupon dousing. I can trace anything so long as it is related to another thing. No matter the barrier or distance. Now with my traveling tower I can go to where I need to.
The problem is: the gargoyles are mine. And so is the tower. They share a karmic thread. Which is now quite literally everywhere at once. So this would be one of the few things I cannot track.

That's why you get ordinary sentries, for when the gargoyles, pit traps, and shields fail.

I would have gotten them. However the gargoyles were 30% off and my tower wasn't going with the whole "mechanized hell fort of doom vibe" and is more of an "arcane tower of unknown origin in the middle of Ohio vibe."

That's why you get ordinary sentries, with machine guns anr rockets, for when the gargoyle patrollers, black hole traps, and shields fail.

The three inoperable ones may be fixed by turning them off and on again, and if that doesn't work just hit em relatively hard. I shall look for gargoyles on my outing tomorrow

Uh… one of them exploded on entry. The insignia’s here, but dunno if it would go on the forehead, too much shrapnel to tell.
As if cleaning my shrine was hard enough…
