Stone to Flesh without the spell...

Ahem. Icebear? *taptaptap*

Hey, to get back on topic, if you don't mind setting a precedent you can say that the blood - or maybe the eye fluid - of the creature that petrified the PC can reverse the process, so long as it is extremely fresh.

I think if this was my game, I'd have the evil fey cut a deal with the survivors, but slip something else in the stone salve - or make the PCs agree to some deal. Use this to build future adventures.

Sorry PC - I was in a weird mood - too much OS/390 education.

Anyway, back on topic, I'd go with what PC said

Your DM hates you, doesn't he?

You got it backwards: my players walk all over me .

(I allowed a trick very similar to this in a recent adventure, because otherwise the PCs were going to need to take a 2-week-long trek to the nearest big city to restock supplies, and a connection to a church provided a convenient way around that problem. I also told them that their God might not be happy if His celestial court started getting used regularly as a courier service.)

If you've got summon monster IV and a cleric who's in good with a reasonably powerful church and a cache of money, you're golden, baby:

1) Summon a lantern archon.
2) Give it a pouch containing 1,125 gp and a letter to a high poobah in the temple. The letter should read, "Dear High Poobah: Hi! It's Pielorinho. Remember me from church camp? I hope everything's going well there in Verbobonc. Hey listen, the reason I'm writing you is that I'm off smiting evil in the wilderness, and we've run into an eensy problem. One of my "congregation" (yeah, ha-ha, like these other adventurers have ever bent their knee at an altar -- but anyway!) has been turned to stone by a medusa. I've enclosed a suitable donation to Mother Church; would you see about arranging for a break enchantment scroll to be available for my messenger-angel at this temple at noon in three days' time? Or if you have a scroll ready, you could send it back with my messenger angel now. Thanks, high poobah -- you're the best! Love, Pielorinho"
3) Have the lantern archon teleport, carrying the sack o' loot, to the temple.
4) At noon in three days' time, summon another lantern archon to go back to the temple to pick up the scroll and return with it.
5) Cast Break Enchantment from the scroll onto your friend.

How's that?

22.5 lbs of coins can't go far when carried by a small creature with a Str score of 1.... (max load 7.5 lbs).

But the archon can teleport 50lbs of objects with it, so it should work.
