Glimmer arrives back at that tower with Thalenir closely behind. She then turns to him and says "Thank you, Thalenir. For all you have done. I never would have imagined that book could do all that. let's leave it be for now as we have more...pressing matters to attend to." She eyes Taklinn and Grishal coming and proceeds inside.
Glimmer looks at Thalenir with a pained face and says "Yes, please go ahead." She then looks to Grishal and says "Grishal, it's time to do what we discussed to protect you. Thalenir is going to put you to sleep, and then I'll make the cut and begin healing you. Are you ready? Remember, we need to do this as quietly as possible and you'll have to stay hidden here until we can disguise you. I'm afraid it's the only way. Would you like a froggie to snuggle? Or maybe sit in our froggie bag?"
Grishal pulls back at his hair a few times trying to figure out how much it was going to hurt to remove his scalp. He pulls hard enough to remove a few hairs from the root and winces briefly in pain. Figuring that it couldn't be much worse than that, he shrugs and picks up a frog from the floor. Sitting himself deep in the bag, he tugs at the top of a frogs head until the skin peels of, and then shoves it in his mouth. Grinning heavily one last time, Grishal nods to Glimmer and Thalenir and gets ready to be put to sleep.
Thalenir places a hand on Grishal's head. "Don't worry, Grishal. When you wake up, this'll all just be a forgotten dream. May the mists of sleep quiet your mind." As Thalenir incants, and dusting of incandescent motes falls over Grishal's eyes. A moment later, the goblin slumps down asleep.
"That ought to do it. Now, I must go attend to this." He raises his arm. "Best of luck with Aylial." He nods in parting and heads out of the tower.
Glimmer kneels down at Grishal sleeping head and silently yet quickly pulls a small razor from her pouches. She quickly makes thing cuts along Grishal's scalp with her right hand, and then places her left hand over his raw skin (Heal 5 twice). She slides his old scalp to the side and folds it, gently placing it in her pouch. She pulls a salve and and says "Friend of the Fae be healed" (Heal 10). She kisses Grishal's cheeks, thanks him and reminds him to say put until she returns. Glimmer looks to Taklinn with tears rolling down both cheeks and says "please guard him with your life. He just saved mine. You know where I must go, and go I shall. It shouldn't be long. All my love Taklinn." Glimmer stands and quickly flits from the tavern.
Taklinn nods as Glimmer leaves, and picks up the patient and places him on the cot inside the tower, covering the goblin with his blanket and placing a frog under Grishal's arm, trying to make him comfortable. He then sits in a chair overwatching the resting creature and begins smoking his pipe with his axe across his lap. "Never thought I'd be playin' nursemaid to the likes o' ye." he says quietly as he quietly stands vigil over the goblin.
Taklinn walks in with his cargo and opens the sack up for Grishal to get out. "Well what are ye to be doin' now?" he asks the group, waiting for orders or to be dismissed.
