Message: <blockquote data-quote="RMcCall" data-source="post: 6270060" data-attributes="member: 6774892">I like the idea of the stones being part of some "seeing" spell, since they were once eyes.  Perhaps they can each be used to see a certain kind of magical force, or since gargoyles in D&D are typically associated with earth elementals, they could see different classical elements (fire, air, water, earth).  Using one, you can see the element and anything related to it through solid objects.  In a mythical sense, everything is comprised of the four elements, so using the earth stone would let you see not only dirt and rocks, but people's bodies as well.  Fire could see the electricity that runs through living being's nerves, water can see blood, and air can see the empty spaces around moving objects, all through walls and such.In a gargoyle's hands, a single stone gives it a better chance to chase down its prey.  Perhaps the nature of gargoyles even allows them to spread the effect to all the gargoyles in the city if they gain possession of a stone.  But when all stones are gathered together, it allows you to see perfectly through any surface and at any distance.  No enemy of the gargoyles would be safe.  They could be in town searching for a particular person who is very difficult to find, but that the PCs want to keep alive at any cost.  The PCs would want to keep the eyes because they would never miss another secret door or hidden treasure or be ambushed ever again.  Of course, you'd want to create some caveat to prevent them from becoming overpowered.</blockquote>
