Hiding in plain sight, belltower gargoyles sit at the rooftops of churches and parishes, guarding the bell against intruders. They are created by magic with the intent of protecting the parish. When they see adventurers approaching to ring their bell, they spring to life, attacking viciously with their halberds and poisonous tails. |
