Fort DC 17 Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Kenton turns away just in the nick of time, spinning aside and drawing his blade. His blade is already in his hand (having rolled initiative).
Duplicity! he shouts. Mendaciousness! Have at you, knavess!

Fort save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

In the opening moments of the fight, each agent resists the gorgon's power. With a snarl her snakes writhe and snap. She also snarls, lashing out with a hidden, poison-smeared, dagger:
ATK 1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34 THREAT
ATK Confirm: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32 and shanking Kenton for DMG: 2d4 + 0 ⇒ (1, 3) + 0 = 4

Kenton (50/54): FORT + Go
Corran (36/36): Go

Fort save (poison): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

That's probably a fail, so the rest of Kenton's turn is pending based on the effect.

Kenton takes STR DMG: 1d3 ⇒ 3

STR damage hurts, but not as much as DEX damage.

Kenton feels the numbing effect of the venom work its way into his bloodstream, but he thinks he can hold on well enough...

Contemptuous scapegrace! he barks. Face me, with your serpent's sting! Lion's challenge, swift action.

+1 rapier: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

AC 26 vs. medusa, 22 vs. any other foe

Fort: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 = 15

Guessing that is not good enough, but if it is LMK and I will take my turn.

add'l Fort save per Slack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Corran moves alongside Kenton and casts Heroism on Kenton.

+2 Morale to Saves, Attack Rolls and Skill Checks.

He then averts his gaze, doing his best to keep the monster in his periphery.

Xavien's voiced is silenced. Everyone turns to see the latest statue in the room, your skald!

Kenton boldly continues to look at his target, though his blade work doesn't get through her defenses.

ROUND 1:
Medusa: ATK
Heroic? Kenton (50/54): Go
Corran (36/36): Bard!
Ianthe (44/44): Go
Xavien (69/69 *75/75): Petrified
Aurelia (40/40): Go

Considering just how many eyes the medusa before them has, Aurelia makes an assumption that she hopes will stem the petrifying tide.

She moves several paces to give herself a better view of what's behind their foe, making a effort to not look straight at the medusa, then draws forth stored arcane power to heighten the potency of her next spell. Hands weaving arcane sigils in the air, Aurelia manifests a conjuration that creates a blinding burst of glitter behind and atop the medusa!
Cast Glitterdust w/Arcane Reservoir. DC 18 Will save

Are my averted eyes enough? Low is yes.

1d100 ⇒ 62

Crap.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Corran turns to stone.

Got a bit overzealous. No save needed from Corran and Aurelia.

corran gives Kenton a boost while Aurelia tries to blind the gorgon: Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Not expecting the tables to turn she ineffectively turns her head and raises her blades to defend herself!

Magically inspired, Kenton thrusts his rapier into the medusa!

Got a bit overzealous. No save needed from Corran and Aurelia.

Ianthe stares in horror as she watches Xavien harden for another woman.

Ianthe keeps her gaze averted as she launches bolts of magical force at the medusa.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2, 4) + 3 = 12

1d100 ⇒ 62 Ianthe's spell rocks her just a bit. She steps back to cast a spell, vanishing from sight.... except you can still see the outline as she retreats.

ROUND 2:
Medusa (blind): Retreat
Heroic? Kenton (50/54): Go
Corran (36/36): Go
Ianthe (44/44): Go

Kenton tries to take a five-foot step, but is unable to. Instead he moves around the medusa on the stairs and strikes at the outline of the foe.

+1 rapier w/heroism: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 2 = 20
piercing (w/challenge & precision): 1d6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 4 = 11

AC 26 vs. medusa, 22 vs. any other foe

Kenton just barely connects, but it's enough to draw blood!

1d100 ⇒ 7 Ianthe's spell rocks her just a bit. She steps back to cast a spell, vanishing from sight.... except you can still see the outline as she retreats.

ROUND 2:
