October 2001 I:Intro II: Fiction III: Card of the Month IV: Vampire of the Month V: Conclusion I:Intro Welcome again to the Stone Circle, the second Gargoyles newsletter. I hope every one enjoys this newsletter. II: Fiction Ha, Ha, Ha, I laugh I laugh jubilantly on my perch. I am rediscovering myself. I once was a blank page, Tabla Rosa as the magi say in latin, but now I am alive! Alive! I once was a empty vessel but now am full. I am a juggernaut, a veritable engine of destruction. I have devoured an enemy of the pyrimid, but now I secretly call myself by his name. I am Heinrich, I am magus. I am power. Let the world feel my wrath! Ha, Ha, Ha III: Card of the Month Dawn Operation Type(s): Action Modifier Discipline(s): Fortitude Card Text: If the acting vampire is blocked, all damage inflicted to all vampires in the resulting combat is aggravated. Any vampire attempting to block may now choose not to block. SUP: As above, but vampires attempting to block cannot back out. This card is a great card for both the Gargoyles and the Tremere. It is the backbone of a Thaumaturgy/Fortitude deck. Now with the addition of the Gargoyles and the slave ability, if the baiting action gets blocked, the gargoyle enters combat with the blocker rather than the acting Tremere. This is a much more desireable combatant than a fraile wizard. IV: Vampire of the Month Saxum, Master of Slaves Gargoyle. 6 capacity pot pre FOR VIS Camarilla Tremere Slave: Flight. This is a very Powerful Vampire. He is perfect for a bruise and bleed deck. Also with his out of clan discipline of presence he can be combined with Lydia Van Cuelen, Rebekka, Chantry Elder of Munich, Javier Montoya, Spiridonas, Cassandra, Magus Prime to create a unusual presence based bleed deck. Also Rebekka and Spiridonas both have potence to back it up. V: Conclusion I hope everyone enjoyed this months newsletter. Hopefully next month I can include a deck or two. If anyone has any experimental Gargoyle decks for next months newsletter, please email them to me. Comments Welcome, Norman S. Brown, Jr. XZealot Archon of the Swamp
