I TOLD you not to think that! Not for ONE second!!
Now that I think on it, though. Squeeze the brain juice out of each snake. Slowly. Then the gorgon’s brain. Also, slowly. I don’t think for one second that will convert stone to flesh, but it won’t hurt to try.
Who am I kidding? It’ll hurt. A lot. Then, again. Brain juice from a gorgon and her snakes may well be a usable component. For something or another.
Oh yeah, definitely. Even if he doesn’t know any uses for them, how often does one come into possession of three mostly intact gorgon corpses? Must be something a skilled alchemist could do with gorgon bits.
Not sure if Rich is doing this, but Gorgons would regularly smash a no-longer-desired statue and revert the bits back to flesh as food… think it involves either the snake venom or their blood.
Also, though YAFGC doesn’t necessarily follow DnD rules, Gorgons (Medusa) don’t have the ability to undo their petrifying gaze naturally (at least in 3.5). They’d need to use a spell or something else.
AD&D had male medusae in the old Planescape Monster Manual. They were called maedar, and they were extremely rare, so most medusae mated with humans instead.
A maedar looked like a muscular bald human male and had the ability to turn petrified flesh back from stone to flesh simply by touch. (In game terms, they could cast ‘Stone to Flesh’ every 3 turns by touch.) Maedar are also naturally immune to petrification and paralysation (including related spells, such as hold and slow). In addition, maedar can see into and extend their stone into flesh power into the Astral and Ethereal planes.
Maedar can phase through stone at their normal movement rate after a round of concentration, at will, so they can walk through stone, similar to stone elves. Maedar are immune to the poisonous bite of a medusa’s serpentine hair. They fought with their fist (they had two natural unarmed slam attack with fists).

You learn something new every day it seems. Thanks Christina. 🙂
Wellll…. the keyword is trying…
Not a ‘plan,’ so to speak, more of a ‘desperate gambit’ or a ‘quack theory’…
