[He'd known there'd be challenges going into this place. Like pretty much every dimension, if he wanted to use magic he'd have to start from scratch, and if he wanted to do science it'd require the money which he could really only access with, uh, magic. Those were normal. Less normal were the indications that the dimension served as a sort of Venus Fly Trap: Getting in would be easy, but getting out would be extremely difficult to say the least. Potentially impossible.
He went anyway. As you do. Mostly because, as far as he was concerned, dimensions like this existed for a reason.
Turns out his scan didn't pick up everything. Like the fact that he'd end up landing in water on entry. He sputters a bit, trying to make it to the surface, before realizing the OTHER thing he hadn't picked up on, which was what he could only assume was ambient levels of wild magic. He couldn't think of any other explanation why he was suddenly a really big, uh.
Fish.
Manny works like a wizard most of the time - well, a "magicist" as he tends to call himself, what with his application of scientific physics to magic and his observation that a lot of wizards tend to be jerks. However, technically speaking he knows he's a sorcerer, one particularly sensitive to the ways magic functions from dimension to dimension. Which means he tends to absorb magic.
Which is why he's pretty much ALL fish and not sorta fish. Brain notwithstanding, anyway.]
Good start. Yeah.
3.
[He's managed to brute force things after about an hour of concentration, and now he's... MARGINALLY less fishy. Which is to say he's at least got his fins to function a little more like arms, which he decides is about as good as he's going to get for now based on how much effort that took. Hopefully at some point the ambient magic passes so he can start studying it in earnest.
Instead, he's studying what appears to be a shipwreck. An old one from what he can tell, and sizable. If nothing else, he can perhaps start getting a sense of the tech level here, maybe do a little exploring, find some loot, smack some mons --
...he's gone to way too many places where dungeon crawling was a regular way to make a quick buck.
Shaking his head, he maneuvers a little deeper in. He's so focused on a particular metallic formation that he just barely manages to avoid the snapping jaws of possibly the biggest damn eel he's ever seen. He's now frantically getting away, trying to avoid mental images of animated movies with these exact scenarios, because that's REALLY not going to help his situation right now. Crap.]
