Explanation/description: This spell, which
is actually a
group of four risky spells, will summon
one grue--harginn,
ildriss,
chaggrin, or varrdig--from
one of the four elemental
planes:
Air-Incense
Earth-Soft Clay
Fire-Sulfur
Water-Sea Water
These material components must be used when
summoning
the grue desired. The type of grue to be
summoned
must be decided before the caster memorizes
the spell.
Grue are notoriously untrustworthy and
difficult to control,
so the caster must rely on more than just
concentration
to keep the grue under his command. As
soon as the
grue is summoned, it will demand a payment
from the caster
for its service. The payment offered must
be at least 500
g.p. worth of goods of interest to the
grue, or the grue will
be angered and immediately attack the caster.
If the grue
is satisfied with the offer, it will grudgingly
perform one
service for the caster for the duration
of the spell. The grue
will try to subvert or openly disobey the
caster’s orders if
the grue finds them unpleasant.
