Seasoned adventurers know to be wary of large collections of stone statues because a Medusa or Gorgon could be lurking nearby.
Written for Dungeon Crawl Classics. Adaptable to most Old School Renaissance or similar D20 games.
These stone statues were once adventurers and other humanoids caught in the lair of a powerful Medusa. Through the horrific machinations of evil chicanery, her victims have been brought back to life under her control as animated stone statues.
