Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

This technique was developed shortly after the Revolt as the children of Virstania fled Ceoris and the other chantries, hiding in any cave, rock formation, and stoney crevice Europe had to offer. On rare occasions, Grotesques would experience the presence of otherworldly beings living side by side with them in their mountain retreats. One such event saw a Gargoyle Scout use her Aura Perception while scrying a cavern to determine its viability for settlement, upon doing so discovering strange presences within the very walls. The presences were in fact beings similarly made of stone, but entirely natural: Elemental spirits embodying the rock and the earth.

If the spirit is using other means to hide, this power will only reveal them if the Gargoyle wins an a Mental challenge, retest investigation, vs the being’s Mental traits, retest stealth.
