Okay, so this came up in our Labyrinth Lord game in Tegel Manor.  The party got surprised by a medusa and the lead character, a paladin henchman, failed his save and should thus be turned to stone.  The catch is that this particular henchman is a clockwork construction they rescued in HighFell.  Reading the Labyrinth Lord rules, says all characters are petrified.  It doesn't specify flesh characters only, though I assume that's implied.  In AS&SH it says humans and humanoids.  So there's this metal to stone plus the issue of how it sees, which is magical.  But in discussions of its abilities, immunity to gaze attacks is not listed.  It is already immune to poison, disease, mind, and cold effects. 

Anyhow, I ruled that he was petrified. But the clever players have a portable hole,so they pushed him into that, as he obviously doesn't need oxygen.  Then they intend to take him to a big city and pay a mage to turn the stone to flesh, restoring him to his original human state, which I said I will allow if he survives the trauma survival test.

Curious as to how others would have ruled this? 

P.S.--I plan on posting a review of the Tegel Manor reboot here later today.
