When Bonded with a stone structure and using Scry the Hearthstone, a Gargoyle can unlock even more of her potential. Being able to move through the building's very foundation (or walls, floors or ceiling, depending on the building) may allow for a Gargoyle to access additional levels of Auspex (at Storyteller discretion, based on the layout of the building). It is important to note that while Bond With the Mountain is activated, a Gargoyle is still potentially visible, even to those without Auspex, so this is by no means a foolproof method of spying without a way to get caught. Additionally, a Gargoyle could not be Bonded in the basement of the building and use this power on people in the attic. They must be Bonded in the same room with their target(s) for the powers to work.

MET System: The Gargoyle must spend a Blood to activate Bond with the Mountain, and the Willpower to activate Scry the Hearthstone. When the Gargoyle is able to move into a room with appropriate targets present, she may use additional Auspex powers to the following effect:
She may use Heightened Senses to listen to a conversation that is being held in the room. A Gargoyle cannot focus on all conversations in the room, and must take a full round to focus in one one, or to change focus from one conversation to another;
The Gargoyle may also use Spirit's Touch on items inside of the room, but said item must be in direct contact with the building itself. For example, she could Spirit's Touch a table, as it is touching the floor, but not the vase of flowers sitting on the table;
A Gargoyle who has also mastered Telepathy is considered to have line of sight on anyone in the room for the purposes of establishing telepathy. If the target leaves the room, line of sight is broken, even if the Gargoyle uses Flow Within the Mountain to follow; the movement and concentration required to do so prohibits the use of this power. The Gargoyle could, however, attempt to reestablish Telepathy once she and the target have stopped moving.
