Durkon: Nnnnnh…Na…gonna turn ta…stone…twice in…one week!!

Belkar: We're all gonna die before I have a chance to make fun of you for that!
D&D Context[]
- Beholders have ten small eyestalks which each have a unique special ability. The effects emanate as a ray from the eye, and the individual eye powers are: Charm Monster, Charm Person, Disintegrate, Fear, Finger of Death, Flesh to Stone, Inflict Moderate Wounds, Sleep, Slow, and Telekinesis. Sunny appears to be avoiding the use of the more lethal effects. The individual effects on the Order of the Stick are as follows:
- Durkon — Flesh to Stone
- Minrah — Sleep
- Haley — Telekinesis (on her bow)
- Belkar — Fear
- Mr. Scruffy — Charm Monster
- Elan — Charm Person
- Vaarsuvius — Slow
- V's state shows they have been affected by a poison on Serini's arrow.
