"There are parts chipped and broken off. Nothing that was purposefully done to the man. Just time and bad luck."The petrified wizard is indeed in bad shape. There are dozens of chips broken out of the man and his little finger on his left hand is broken off completely. A few of the chips are located along the petrified folds of the man's robes but the rest on on his face and arms. There is a petrified wound cut into the man's chest that was obviously inflicted moments before the wizard was turned to stone. If he is returned to flesh, he will need healing right away, if he doesn't die from the shock.Tuck has never seen the man before but it is hard to tell with his face and beard full of chips and a deep gash that looks like it was also made before the wizard was petrified. The wounds weren't made by a blade but by claws. More than likely the wizard was turned to stone by a creature and not by magic. His clothes are a bit out of date and not of the style of Bluffside. The out-of-date clothing looks like the wizard could be from one of the southern cities along the Ishamarkan Coast... Banbridge, perhaps, or maybe the City of the Sail, Orra. The man could have been in this state for decades maybe even longer.OOC: Making it a Knowledge (local) check, so a total of 22.Vinny tries to see if he can figure out who the wizard is, and if he is a resident of the Wizard District. The man doesn't look like a local wizard and Vinny doesn't recognize his features. His clothes are not of any style that a wizard from Bluffside would ever wear, well, at least not in this century. If the petrified man is/was Waldo's rival, then the Renegade Alienist could be a lot older than is known.The Sectarian Guard knows that adventuring wizards go missing, a lot. The man looks like he was in a fight and Tuck confirms it with him, so he was probably an adventurer. His petrified form is really bad shape and with one finger broken off and deep chips in his arms, it isn't a given that the man will ever be able to cast spells again without it being incredibly painful. Luckily, there aren't any chips in his head, although one ear is cracked in half.Some would say it would be better to put him out of his misery.However, Vinny knows that a skilled wizard with knowledge of stone carving might be able to bring the man back in better shape physically and mentally with the proper spells. (He's seen it done before as part of his training at the Academy. It was done by a visiting elvish wizard all the way from Kosentindor.) It would be risky to do so otherwise. The wizard might not survive the transition.OOC: Total of 19.</blockquote>
