[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 5376652, member: 6957"] The village is silent, not even birds sing in the trees. A white X has been crudely painted on the the marker at the road. Within all the people, men, women, and children, have been turned to stone, dust gathering on their limbs. Some few have their books of common prayer open upon their laps, the page turned to prayers against diseases and against that which walks in darkness. An old woman faces a mirror, her stony hair combed and brushed, a faint smile on her lips, yet the brush and comb are on a table by the door, well away from the grasp of her hand. A mother cradles her infant, both now cold stone. And each petrified villager bears the buboes and lesions of plague.... This one was fun in play - the petrification of the town was a redemptive act of sorts by a lich not far away. Too paranoid to leave his phylactery unguarded, but unwilling to let the people of 'his' town die the lich had no access to magics that would remove the disease, but he could turn them to stone until a cleric arrives in town. The plague itself is magical - treat Remove Disease as Dispel Magic against a spell of Caster Level 18.... The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
