Gargoyles Everywhere

Karl focused on the [Gargoyle] spell, and did his best to understand how it worked before he cast it for the first time, in case it was like the Golem spell, and the appearance would be fixed in future castings.

What he found was that you had to target a specific spot to form the Gargoyle on, and it would appear as a statue in that position until activated.

Karl decided that the obvious choice would be two either on the wall by the gate or near the stairs to the porch, and four smaller ones on the corners of the roof.

That was where the Golden Dragon Nation's buildings often had gargoyles, though those were just decorative, and the ones on the roof were primarily water outlets.
