Why am I thinking of Ellison’s Bleeding Stones?
Oops. Typo in title. Reported for correction.
Don’t blink…
church gargoyle.
she was chosen.
Goliath has a lot to answer for.
That’s the problem with fighting gargoyles. You have to kill both simultaneously, or else one will merely resurrect the other.
(Very obscure FF reference.)
I believe it requires a magic weapon to hit them…
Good thing it wasn’t one of those Scottish ones. You know–the Argyll gargoyles.
The ones the gargle Gershwin are especially bad.
You can’t stop gargoyles by chopping off their heads.
I’m sorry for the woman’s fiancé, but what does he say on a future date?
“What happened to your children’s mother?”
“Oh, she was killed by a gargoyle.”
I’ll be climbing into my handbasket now.
I’d read about this yesterday, and saw it on a news program. The church building is old and has had maintenance issues in the past.
I’m thinking there will be a civil suit in the works. My own congregation spent a lot to have the outside stonework cleaned and fixed. Some members hadn’t been so sure it was needed, then the rector showed us a fist sized piece of stone that had fallen from the outside. It was just lucky that nobody was under it, like that poor woman in Chicago.
Anyone else think of Tales from the Darkside: The Movie?
See, there was a reason for that commandment about not making graven images.
Well, gargoyles have 4 attacks, I’m not surprised that one would overpower a couple of NPCs in a single surprise round.
I feel so bad for her family, but it’s sort of a cool way to go. I wouldn’t mind being killed by a gargoyle.
Remember, man, that sandstone is sand and unto sand it shalt return. The buildings in Chicago made of that yellow sandstone have been rotting away since they were built.
It was probably a grotesque and they just don’t know the difference. Heathens.
See? That’s what happens when you fall in love with a gargoyle. You get smitten.
Johnny Quest was my first thought here.
Then, … Don’t blink
You win the thread.
