After drawing plans for the rest of the evening, Glendalf, Jenny and the Orcs went to sleep, intent on leaving the next morning In the night, Glendalf had an acid flashback, dreaming that there were spiders all over his body; due to his magic, such spiders indeed materialised, and Jenny helped him deal with them. The following morning, they left for Scotland aboard Glendalf's magically-enlarged airship; on the way, Glendalf wanted the crew to stop for a “digression” in the [[woods of Faerie]]”, but the Orcs talked him down. Once they arrived at the mansion, Glendalf took down the magical defences, leaving Jenny and the Orcs to carry off the actual heist. After most of the plan went off smoothly, Jenny was confronted with [[Laura Drake#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Laura Drake]]; their duel had a destabilising effect on reality, causing the part-fictional narrative to crumble. Jenny woke up from it on a prehistoric beach with Glendalf nowhere in sight, with a dim awareness that she had “fallen into a book” prior to losing consciousness. | After drawing plans for the rest of the evening, Glendalf, Jenny and the Orcs went to sleep, intent on leaving the next morning In the night, Glendalf had an acid flashback, dreaming that there were spiders all over his body; due to his magic, such spiders indeed materialised, and Jenny helped him deal with them.

Later managing to shift herself back to the same frame of reference, however, Jenny discovered that after making it out of the mansion, Glendalf and the Orcs had indeed headed back to [[Faerie]], where they came under threat from the [[Queen of Faerie]] herself. Glendalf was able to get the Orcs to safety through a portal, but the Queen “got her” and turned him into, or fused him with, a gnarled, barren tree in a clearing, using him as bait for Jenny.

Jenny freed him using her [[Jenny Everywhere's staff|hard-light staff]], as given to her by [[the Illumination]]. However, the two, finding themselves in a different aspect of Faerie, which resembled overrun ruins, found themselves chased by the [[Wild Hunt]] as the Queen has warned.

Glendalf is a transparent parody of {{w|Gandalf|Gandalf}}, the wizard from J.R.R. Tolkien's ''Hobbit'' and ''Lord of the Rings''; the setup of him appearing at the protagonist's door with a number of representatives of a nonhuman species mirrors the opening scene of ''The Hobbit'', where Gandalf arrives at Bilbo Baggins's door with a troop of [[Dwarf|Dwarves]]. | Glendalf is a transparent parody of {{w|Gandalf|Gandalf}}, the wizard from J.R.R.
