This has no doubt been discussed before. Can a gorgons petrification<br>
effect be reversed via dismiss magic (sorcery)? The description of monster<br>
does say stuff like counter magic and shield spells are usless against its<br>
vile gaze, but it doesn't explain what thereafter. Up to the GM for sure I<br>
am thinking.<br>
<br>
Some background, I had the lads descend below a temple having been warned<br>
by the demigod whose temple it was there may be a grave price to pay. They<br>
nipped down and I had a gordgon awaiting, like Clash of the Titans. Alas<br>
they weren't forewarned about mirrors and aren't munchkin D&D types who<br>
carry that kind of gear around. Anyhow after some hard fighting and some<br>
decent POW x 5 roles eventually one of the characters critical to the plut<br>
succumbed. I played it a bit saying the affect was slow and he could sense<br>
what was happening etc.<br>
<br>
They sent for a sorcerer with a dismiss magic and I gave her one chance,<br>
she failed. The lads eventually reckoned moving the statue to the grove of<br>
trees outside the temple and making it into a wee shrine may be the best<br>
they could do....<br>
