>ancient Egyptian temple in the late 19c
>be me, arab greedy merchant of magic trinkets
>party consists of an arab soldier, a nurse who is also a mage and a NPC 10yo boy who I promised to pay for exploring a deathly Egyptian temple
>we get to a room that has a pedestal in the middle of it and a door protected by a magic barrier
>said pedestal has a hand-shaped carving on top of it
>we all try to put our hand over the carving, nothing happens but some magical feedback
>meh
>nurse tries to blow up the door, gets knocked out thanks to dispel magic
>the soldier and me carry her to a fountain nearby to splash some water on her face
>said fountain already turned the boy's leg into solid stone, or at least that's what he thinks that happened
>"well, maybe the child is imagining things" we proceed to submerge her face in the fountain
>her face turned to stone
>we freak out and let go of her
>now she's turned to stone all the way down to her waist
>well... fuck
>the nurse player's salt is almost palpable
>"wait, what about that pedestal in the other room? Maybe it only reacts to a hand of stone"
>"great idea!"
>the DM face when
>we grab the nurse's hand and submerge it in the fountain
>now we have a hand of stone
>fuck yeah
>carry her stone ass to the pedestal, put her hand on it
>barrier on the door disappears and it begins to crumble
