	#~~REDIRECT~~ [[~~User~~:~~Chris/~~dNetHack/Gorgoneion]]		In [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]], and [[notnotdNetHack]], the '''Gorgoneion''' is a [[ward]] which [[scare]]s all monsters, with a few exceptions, when engraved on the [[floor]]. Gorgoneia can be reinforced up to 3-fold, with each level of reinforcement taking 60 strokes to draw. With a [[Engraving#Speed\|fast engraving]] tool each reinforcement takes 6 turns to draw, or 60 turns with a slow engraving tool. It gains no secondary effects at higher levels of reinforcement.

			The Gorgoneion ward scares all monsters ''except'' the following:
			* Type of monsters:
			** [[Mindless\|Mindless monsters]]
			** [[Great Old One]]s
			* Other monsters:
			** {{brightcyan\|K}} [[chokhmah sephirah]]
			** {{yellow\|@}} [[elder priest]]
			** {{brightmagenta\|H}} [[Lugribossk]]
			** {{brightmagenta\|.}} [[Maanzecorian]]

			==Generation==
			[[Scroll of warding\|Scrolls of gorgoneion]] do not randomly generate. Writing a scroll of gorgoneion with a [[magic marker]] costs 8 charges. Scrolls of gorgoneion can be [[wish]]ed for.

			[[Rings]] engraved with a Gorgoneion ward cannot be wished for and do not randomly generate.

			The Gorgoneion ward does not appear in [[spellbook]]s.

			In all variants of [[medusa's island]] three squares will be engraved with a gorgoneion ward, however in games where medusa's island is replaced with the [[Grue's Cavern]] the gorgoneion ward can only be learned from reading a scroll of warding while confused, or from invoking the [[dNetHack artifacts#Aegis\|Aegis]].

			==Description==
			Unlike most other wards, the Gorgoneion ward doesn't have a 100% chance of scaring monsters that it affects. Instead, each level of reinforcement adds a 33% chance per turn to scare an affected monster, rolled individually for each monster.

			The Gorgoneion ward appear as "a Gorgoneion", "a pair of Gorgoneia" or "a trio of Gorgoneia" on the floor.

			==Encyclopedia entry==

			{{encyclopedia\|
			Among the Ancient Greeks the most widely-used image intended to
			avert evil was that of the Gorgon, the head of which now may be
			called the Gorgoneion, which features wild eyes, fangs, and
			protruding tongue. The full figure of the Gorgon holds the apex
			of the oldest remaining Greek temple where she is flanked by two
			lionesses. The Gorgon head was mounted on the aegis and shield
			of Athena.
			[ Wikipedia ]
			One of the most versitile wards, this 60 line emblem must
			typically be prepared in advance.
