The Mage was still admiring his fur in the mirror when a Portal opened on the street, and a small group of mages entered the courtyard with cautious glances at the Gargoyles.
They had tried to travel straight into the yard, but the deterrent force of the Gargoyle spell had forced them to relocate, and now all of the statues were glaring at them.
The ones from the back of the house had even come to the front to see who the audacious intruders were.
Once they were assured that these people were just rude enough to want to show up in the middle of someone's lawn, the Gargoyles returned to their posts. That let the mages relax a little, but left them with profound questions about who had done the enchantments on this Guild house and their level of paranoia. A dozen Gargoyles for such a small property was overkill.
