Well, he also wants to use it on Sahar who if I am correct already was a pretty powerful priestess before all this began. so yea he might be that dumb.
I don’t know how Rich feels about second guessing, but here I am, thinking that removing the powers of the Gorgon will also remove the twisting of her spirit towards Ranna as well.
From what we’ve seen and my own assumptions (a lot of liberty taken with those) it would seem like the transformation depends on the victims natural personality before being changed. Those who were already followers of Ranna or who were already evil seem to keep most of their personality intact (with an altered loyalty), whereas those who were more good aligned (such as Sahar) appear to have their natural personality wholly overwritten by Ranna, making them little more than puppets. This is of course all just conjecture without word from Rich so take it with a heaping mountain of salt.
I’m pretty sure Rich *did* explain it in some comment but good luck finding it again. As I recall, the personality is changed the minimum necessary to make them a Rannite, which should give approximately the effect you suggest.

Wanting to kill Fatinah and disapproving Ch’thier’s judgement. Even if Kassim takes it as a joke, we know now that it might not have.

Mostly the profanity and ensuing relief. That’s not really how a priestess of Ch’thier should feel. It’s a lot more compatible with Ranna’s viewpoint.
There’s a big difference between frustration at your deity over a disagreement and outright turning evil however.
Yes, it might not be how a priestess of C’thier should act, but she’s human and allowances have to be made for the occasional slip ups. Even the gods are not perfectly in sync with their ethos all the time (see C’thier’s frustration with Owen).
Umm, no, removing her gorgonisity would remove her powers (or at least her nasty bitey hair)
Unless you were meaning for all the others gorgonzola’d (except Meegs, she got what she deserved, right? except no one was around with a sledgehammer to finish things)
We learned much about Kurassa’s inner being in that mirror, and yet, he still manages, now and then, to surprise me. "Impressed" isn’t quite the right word for it.
So, Kuraasa, you remove the gorgon curse from Sahar, and she’s just going to jump into bed with you, ignoring the fact that you were the person who turned her father into a tree in the first place.
That is providing that the curse removal does work on the Caliph and he doesn’t have you arrested and beheaded before you can turn him back into a tree.
That’s right, Kuraasa, let your little man do all your thinking for you.
Not… quite, he’s planning on removing her nasty bitey head-snakes (not to mention her ability to turn him into a lawn-ornament), and then raping her into submission
So he’s going to turn her from a gorgan who has to work with him for evil to a powerful priestess who has no reason to not kill him for turning her father into a tree and attacking her family.
He is not a smart man.
Though I do wonder if Adina will come back with some cure from ‘the men who are trees’ or wherever the kobold tried to send her only to find that her personal quest had been done while she was gone. That’d be kind of hilarious.
Was it established _who_ turned the Caliph into a tree? Thought it was just some seemingly random bolt from the blue
Wasn’t Kurassa already imprisoned in the mirror by that time? o_O
It was a seemingly random bolt which fit perfectly into his plans while he just happened to pass by the city with an evil smirk while looking for information about how to get to the mirror. Obviously a perfectly innocent coincidence.
No after the Caliph was treed, he went on an expedition with the Caliph's children to find the mirror to undo the curse, and he was imprisoned in the mirror when they found it.

An ancient tome! I’ll steal it! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!
That reference works surprisingly well. Good job.
Oh, is he gonna test it on that one tree? >:3
Not even _he_ is _that dumb… is he? o_O
Well, he also wants to use it on Sahar who if I am correct already was a pretty powerful priestess before all this began. so yea he might be that dumb.
That’s what I was thinking of, but mostly using it on her father
So there _is_ a cure
They can thank him when they execute him for being, well, himself
Please please PLEASE! Let Ini be the one who spits on his corpse after betraying him
I don’t know how Rich feels about second guessing, but here I am, thinking that removing the powers of the Gorgon will also remove the twisting of her spirit towards Ranna as well.
Same, just… it depends on how far back her feelings go, and just how they managed to convert her so quickly
Okay, may have just gotten the Gorgon conversion mixed up with the DM corruption (her feelings may still be a factor though)

He did? Must’ve been where I got it from then and just forgot 😛
Still, here’s hoping it works and they can undo the curse on everyone else converted by Ranna and her minions when everything is over.
Sahar always had a mean streak.

Or, maybe, the frustration lead the way to turning to the bad twin: if Ch’thier isn’t willing to punish these people, maybe her sister will
Poor Ini. She’s still covering up. Must be new.
I’m guessing that by the fact that she knows all about the book she was actually the librarian before this.
2 birds ones tone and be owed one…or worse
I can understand why he forces Ini to dress like that which is rather embarrassing for her.
I suspect this is what’s left of her previous clothes.
Misoginy for goodness! Assuming removing the gorgonism restor sanity.
Umm, no, removing her gorgonisity would remove her powers (or at least her nasty bitey hair)
Unless you were meaning for all the others gorgonzola’d (except Meegs, she got what she deserved, right? except no one was around with a sledgehammer to finish things)
"gorgonzola’d"? That reminds me, I need to go shopping for the celebration party after Fang save the world.
I thought this guy was merely evil. But he’s also a serious scumbag.
t!

Exactly everything you have said.

That, or he plans to blackmail the Caliph. Restore him and tell him he has a way to restore his daughter as well. The price? Her hand in marriage.
Not… quite, he’s planning on removing her nasty bitey head-snakes (not to mention her ability to turn him into a lawn-ornament), and then raping her into submission
…and here I thought he just plans to kill her.
The lightbulb is replaced by a lantern, lol, in sync
