It could attack you piece by piece.

"The Gorgon glares at your right hand!
It is Claystone!
You're third finger, right hand has become stone!
The Gorgon glares at your upper body!
You're left lung has become stone etc."

And then after you've received a fatal "wound", the gorgon would then take a while turning everything else into stone.

 I don't think that would work, considering your right hand can't see. Whatever it is needs to see the creature's eyes to cause it. However, this would be the easiest way to do it, coding wise. I still think it should be a kind of "WTH" instant kill, like the Giant Cave Spider. Something that if you [L]ook or aim at it, you get turned into a statue with the possibility of being turned back after a wait (you could also go there in Fortress mode and use your own statue for nobles, or go back in adventure and sell your own statue [that can later be traded to your fort]). Such as if an NPC goes on a quest to save you and slay what you failed to slay (whatever the method might be). I am guessing any party members you have that can change you back, will.

 Yeah, I don't think I am going to be using the Might and Magic series even as the 1/8th strength media support I usually do.

Imagine a cool peice of sky-blue and milk-white marble about 3cm by 2cm and by 0.5cm, containing a tiny 2mm malacolite crystal. Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.
