### 00072 {#00072}

|
In the days that follow,
|
||
|
|
you move Marvelo into the Milk Market
|
||
|
|
to care for him.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The reclusive Blacksmith of Vay'Nullar
|
||
|
|
(a dwrlugh who---as is the case with its kind---refuses to go by any given name)
|
||
|
|
makes a rare appearance outside of its forge
|
||
|
|
to present Marvelo with a new artificial jaw
|
||
|
|
made of polished granite and bronze.
|
||
|
|
It will never be mistaken for flesh,
|
||
|
|
but it does somewhat complement the golden tones
|
||
|
|
of Marvelo's skin.
|
||
|
|
With the skill of a surgeon,
|
||
|
|
and craftmanship only the dwrlugh are capable of,
|
||
|
|
the Blacksmith affixes the jaw onto Marvelo's bones
|
||
|
|
with small screws,
|
||
|
|
and sews his muscles to the opening and closing mechanisms
|
||
|
|
so that it operates naturally.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Marvelo grows stronger as the days go by.
|
||
|
|
His recovery is no doubt accelerated
|
||
|
|
by the hemogoblin,
|
||
|
|
who provides ample transfusions
|
||
|
|
and refuses to leave his bed.
|
||
|
|
Though he will ever be physically scarred by his encounter with the Nyxmaer,
|
||
|
|
he soon enough is able to eat and drink on his own.
