Discussion

A mysterious individual crafts magical Gargoyles using dark magics to protect humanity from monsters. You are one such Gargoyle, crafted and sent to a small fringe town. You animate at night to hunt down monsters, and yet must avoid detection by the people you protect lest you be smashed during the day by superstitious humans or monsters which assume human form and live among their prey. The magics which animate you also allow you to consume the souls of the foes you defeat in order to gain their powers, but feeding carries a risk as you may also gain their vulnerabilities, mindsets, and even their need to prey on humans.

Yet another /tg/ quest stopping by to make use of our questdis.
