Medusa, once pretending to be Heatherful Threecircle, is a gorgon who once took over the Paladin Order with her ability of mind-control during The Many Gobos of Pat campaign, trying to end the lives of all the goblin siblings and inheriting their father Pat's abilities and presence.

History

The first known encounter with Medusa is in The Many Gobos of Pat campaign. In this campaign she takes on the form of a female elf and pretends to be Pattenborrow Threecircle's daughter Heatherful. The heroes of the campaign talk with her before the second arena combat for a short while. She expresses her hatred for goblins and does not believe that the heroes lived with Pattenborrow. She says that Pattenborrow hated goblins. The goblins explain to her then how Pattenborrow used to hate goblins, but no longer did at his death. Later on she is pitted against the goblins in the arena, but instead plays as their ally in an attempt to get Pattenburrow's Necklace. She does this because Willis says that the goblins were adopted by Pattenborrow and so she believe they lived with him. She even goes so far as to use Divine Intervention to aid the heroes. However when Desnuttes breaks Pattenborrow's Necklace and releases Pattenborrow's spirit into himself she is infuriated and reveals her true form of Medusa. She mind controls all the dwarves in the arena and Don to fight for her and kill the goblins. Early in the combat Warren uses Wind Blast and kills one of her snakes.

Abilities

Mind Control

Medusa can bend the mind of any being that is not resistant to mind control to her will, permenantly. There appears to be no limit to the number of being she can control at any one time. Goblins are immune due to the telepathic powers. Elves are immune for an unknown reason.

Disguise

Medusa can flawlessly change her appearance and size without having to change her voice. This is a much more powerful version of the Bard class's Disguise ability.

Divine Intervention

Medusa may force a reroll for herself, allies, or foes. She may not however use this ability on a Critical or Critical Failure roll.

Blessing of Strength

Cast a blessing on a target that causes them to deal double damage with melee attacks until end of combat. For allies, they must yell a phrase chosen by the Paladin when they attack or they will lose this effect.
