Since we don't already have a name, we should name ourselves after the coolest thing we've touched!

After a few moments hesitation you reach out and grab the pen. You're not sure how it will write on the stone, but there's no reason not to try.
Just before the nib touches the stone you stop the pen and it occurs to you that you can't decide what to write. For several frustrating minutes you stand there and try to think of what to put. It takes a while, but eventually you reach a decision and touch the pen to the stone. As you drag the nib across the surface a bright streak of light follows your path, slowly fading to reveal an inch-deep hole in the slab wherever the pen touched.
GearWhen the last of the glow fades away, the gargoyle bends into a
deep bow, still clutching the tablet. Slowly it melts into the ground, spreading out and sinking in until there is nothing left to see.

For what, for some reason, feels like the final time, there is a silence followed by a rumble. This time however, the rumble comes from all sides.
Three gargoyles rise up this time, one in front of you and two more slightly behind and to the left and right of you.
The first is weather-worn and small chips are missing from its body here and there as if someone took a blade to it. Its face is distorted in what appears to be the savage joy of battle and, were it not stone, it looks as if it might decide to
pounce at any moment.

The second is also weather-worn, but lacks the scars of the first. It floats several inches off of the ground; sitting down on some invisible surface on it's haunches. It rests its head on one of its hands in a contemplative manner, and it seems to stare off into infinity. For some reason it seems to remind you of a
wise old man.

The third is still smooth and shiny, but it has many chips missing from the body much like the first. The large majority are on its back and arms. The entire gargoyle appears to be bent over some invisible object with its arms wrapped
protectively around it.
