Vaun proceeded to guide Barley with the delicate surgery. He collected bottles of odd turbid fluid along with a very polished wooden mahogany box from his leather bag. From inside he brought out a fine miniature cylindrical tube like contraption with a very sharp needle. He uncorked a vial and drew a mysterious thick viscous crimson fluid and filled the contraption with it.
"Okay, so you use the dagger and give a sharp line cut from here to here. You then trace the cut and start unwrapping the flesh and moving it to the side." As the operation progressed, He jabbed the needle at the neck of the gnome and injected the fluid directly inside the skin.
"Blood tincture is given with mild anaesthetic. This will calm the body muscles." He guided Barley about how to fine cut the entanglement and remove the foreign plant anchors in the flesh. Finally he brought out a needle and thread, dipped it in one of the turbid vials and passed it to Barley,
"You stitch the wound by passing the needle inside while holding the knot up and closing the thread. Yes, just like that. You have a nice hand at this, Master Barley." Finally, he brought out another vial of green viscous fluid which he filled inside his injector and then administered it again to the gnome's body.
"I think, we have done what we can. Let's hope this finally severs the parasitic connection and hopefully cures this gnome", Vaun exhaled once the surgery was done.
