Shackled City: ECL 9 Osiris Eloah Elf Generalist Wizard: Entry 22

Into the Abyss! Are you kidding me! Of all the places to travel where magic that is performed on the material plane is uncontrollable and random at best, I'm not 100% sure in our ability to survive let alone complete some quest bestowed upon us from someone, or something, we can't truly trust. By skill alone I managed to control a Vroc to aid us in battle. Not a moment to late, as the party was trampled by some six legged Hippo creatures that stink of some foul wretchedness that only the bold, or profoundly stupid, would approach to within 5 feet. Well I can only surmise that if it was easy, everyone would visit the Abyss to vacation. With my magic not functioning or to risky to try without putting us all in danger, I find myself for the first time at a disadvantage. It seems it is time to turn this perceived weakness, into an advantage!
