> Discord GM: Buuut…?
> DM: You feel a heavy weight in what amounts to your chest. Your heart has been partially petrified.
> Discord GM: Oh my, the symbolism! If I were mortal that would be a slight problem! So that's what that 9 out of 20 was about, hmm? How much of me would become part-statue?
> DM: Pretty much. If it had been a 10 or higher, it'd have been externally visible to start.
> Discord GM: To start, you say?

> DM: If you can't find a way to reverse it? Three days at most.
> Discord GM: Perfect. Plenty of time to cause plenty of trouble.
