[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 4477165, member: 18280"] Good post. It occurs to me that, if a medusa lived in the area, there would be evidence of her existence, and that a simulationist would include that evidence on his encounter tables. For example, were I running the game, it is likely that the encountered medusa would be a specific individual, currently away from her lair (which has a location on the map). If the medusa was a rare encounter in the area, the statuary remains of her victims would be far more common. Consider this story ([url]http://www.danieljbishop.ca/valley_of_song.pdf[/url]). Originally, this was designed as part of a scenario taking place in the World of Greyhawk, utilizing giant spiders, harpies, and a medusa. The details changed a lot in writing the story, but the description of the valley works very well for the sort of thing one might find in an area with a medusa.
