On a success, that creature\ \ may use a reaction to shield its eyes or avert them. If the saving throw fails\ \ by 5 or more, or if the creature is unable to react, the creature is instantly\ \ petrified. Otherwise, a creature that fails the save begins to turn to stone\ \ and is restrained. The restrained creature must repeat the saving throw at\ \ the end of its next turn, becoming petrified on a failure or ending the effect\ \ on a success. The petrification lasts until the creature is unpetrified by\ \ a god. If the gorgon sees its own face reflected on a polished surface within\ \ 30 ft. of it and in an area of bright light, the gorgon is, due to its curse,\ \ affected by its own visage. This trait has no effect if the gorgon's face\ \ is not its normal flesh state. The trait remains active even if the gorgon\ \ is incapacitated, killed, and even beheaded."

Each creature that can see the ally must\ \ succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or look at the gorgon.As long as the\ \ gorgon can see any non-allies within 120 ft., they do not have the Diversion\ \ ability and cannot gain it."
