 poison, the artifact prevents it by rolling back the clock by a few decades, clearing the disease, or denaturing the

 Combat: A gorgon has a long-range bow attack. Since creatures that see the gorgon often turn to stone, it must take down
 its prey at long range so it can get fresh meat. In close combat, a gorgon lashes out with a long dagger or, rarely, a
 sword. As part of the action the gorgon uses to attack, the serpents on its head can also attack one target within
 immediate distance. A target that fails its Speed defense roll takes 2 points of damage from the bite and must

 Magic items are a staple of fantasy stories and games. In the Cypher System, these magic items are, of course, cyphers.

 the cypher’s level. If successful, the beast immediately becomes calm. The beast awaits the user’s commands and carries
 out all orders to the best of its ability. The target remains so enslaved for a number of hours equal to the cypher’s
