I want to discuss a fictional, magical land populated by dangerous gargoyles.
Let's say there's a very dispersed group of gargoyles watching your every move.
Gargoyles being gargoyles, they tend to like to stay in one place for very long periods. They almost never move. They don't even change the direction they're facing.
If they see you, you're doomed.
But the gargoyles are dangerous, and if not dealt with, will bring about the utter subjugation of you and yours.
What can you do?
First, understand that gargoyles have senses you don't. They can detect any RF emissions you might generate. So, things like cars, cellphones, smart watches/rings, etc. are right out. Divest yourself of all such things when going gargoyle hunting.
Next, you must understand that gargoyles are predators. That means their eyes are forward facing, and they have a limited field of view. Their vision is quite acute in the direction they're facing, and they can see perfectly when it's completely dark.
They are also telepathic. If one sees you, it will share that information with all the others, and the others will hunt you down.
But they're relatively fragile if you can get in close to them, and easy to take out. Puncturing the head typically and irreparably damages their brain, killing them. But be careful, because once punctured, sometimes they'll catch fire.
So, how do you go about this? First, you need to arrive in the general vicinity without being seen by any gargoyles. That means you must do an area study and precisely locate every gargoyle between you and it, and which direction they're facing. Your route to the gargoyle should avoid all other gargoyles, and you should approach the gargoyle in its large blind spot, generally from directly behind.
Your escape route should be very different from your approach route, and should likewise avoid all other gargoyles.
So, either get from your base to the target gargoyle on foot, or in a vehicle that drops you off well away from it, and walk the rest of the way. If you decide to use a vehicle, your escape should also occur well away from it, and you should be picked up by a second, separate vehicle that takes a completely different route back to your base, also avoiding all other gargoyles. In both your approach and escape, you should stay on the floorboards just in case.
Now, you've managed to sneak up on the gargoyle. Now what? Gargoyles love to sit up high, so it's hard to, say, throw a bag over their head. Generally speaking, it's best to topple the tree or pedestal they're sitting on, if you decide not to just puncture its head where it sits. But beware, it can see and hear everything while you do this, so make very sure you're not identifiable. No clothes with markings or patterns. No identifiable shoes. Wear gloves. Wear a full-face mask of some form. Neutral colors all around. Once the gargoyle has been toppled from its perch, you need to puncture its head to destroy the brain. Remember, don't be seen! It's best if the gargoyle lands face down. If not, determine where its blind spot is and approach from it, cover it with a thick cloth or similar, and finish the job. If it lands face up, you have a problem. Try to cover it without being seen.
Be very careful, because even the briefest glimpse of you as it falls is enough to doom you.
Gargoyles photosynthesize, which means they get their food from the sun. It's possible to prevent them from doing this, but understand that they maintain a persistent store of energy they've gathered from the sun, and if you cut off their ability to feed, they continue to live for hours and hours. A good alternative approach is to cut the connection between the gargoyle and its food source, but the cable, like the gargoyle, is up high, and hard to get to. It runs from the umbrella it uses to catch sunlight to the gargoyles head. Once cut, it'll be dead within a day.
Gargoyles are also protected by mild magic, which makes attempting to blind them with water or oil-based substances impossible. It might seem like a good idea, but it'll just run off and won't obscure their vision at all.
It's also important to understand that there are a lot of people who still believe gargoyles are beneficial. If they see you attacking a gargoyle, they'll report you to the authorities. Therefore, you need to do this under cover of darkness, when no one else is around.
If you manage to eliminate a gargoyle, tell no one. Do not brag about it on social media, or even to your friends. The people who protect the gargoyles can and will hear about it, and come after you.
Now you understand some of the logistics and tactics necessary to go gargoyle hunting.
