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.
