She nods, smiling softly. She holds out her hand, silently asking if she could unlock his chains, "You don't deserve to be locked in like this, let me free you, please."

Puck stood by Lin and watched Claire as well

The ogre kept pounding the nasty little redcaps, and at the same time kept them away from the chain that held his foot. There were blisters and open sores where he was chained because it was made of iron and it was slowly killing him

"We'll find someone to heal you, I promise." She says truthfully, looking the ogre in the eye as she unlocks his chains quickly.

She stares at him.

"Grumly!" Shard shrieked. "Get in your corner!" She had more ice-spears aimed at the people.
"No!" Grumly's bellow filled the room. Startled, Shard looked up, just realizing she was within the ogre's reach. Too late. Grumly's backhand smashed into her chest, hurling her into the wall with a nasty thud. Even the redcaps looked at her.
Grumly roared, a roar filled with triumph and rage. He spun, surprisingly quick for his bulk, and kicked a redcap into the wall. Puck scrambled out of the way and pulled Lin with him as the ogre raised a foot and stomped two more like roaches. The ground shook with his blows. Dodging the carnage, Puck pulled Lin to Claire and then pulled them away from the battle. "Let's go," he muttered, looking back over his shoulder. "While they're distracted. Head for the trod."
Grim was nowhere to be seen

"No!" She tugs out of his grasp, "I'm helping Grumly!" She snaps, glaring at him, "I'll catch up with you two later, find Grim and go!" She snaps, beginning to fight Redcaps swiftly.

She clings to him fearfully.

"No!" Puck said, grabbing Claire's arm with one hand, the other is around Lin. "We'll wait for Grumly on the other side."
"I am here," a voice said, and Grimalkin materialized next to Lin. His voice sounded strained and he favored his left forepaw, but otherwise seemed fine. "It is definitely time to leave." Shard was already in front of the trod.
"No," she growled. He left arm hung limp, but she raised an ice spear angled at their chests. "You will not pass. You will die here, and I will nail you to the wall for everyone to see."
A rumbling growl echoed behind them, and heavy footsteps shook the ground.
"Grumly," Shard said without taking her eyes off of them, "kill them. All is forgiven. Rip them apart, slowly. Do it. Now."
Grumly growled again, and a thick leg landed next to the four of them. "Frrrriends," he ogre rumbled, standing over them. "Free Grumly. Grumly's friends." He took another step. "Kill mistress."
"What?" Shard backed away, her eyes widening. Grumly shuffled forward, raising his huge fists. "What are you doing? Get back, you stupid thing. I command you! No, no!"
"Let's go," Puck whispered, tugging Claire's arm. He pulled Lin and Claire under Grumly's legs and through the open door. The last thing they say was Grumly looming over his former master, and Shard bringing up her spear as she backed away.

Lin shudders.

"What if she hurts him?!!! GRUMLY!!" She shouts, trying to tug free of Puck's grasp. "How's he supposed to get through?!!" She turns around and glares at Puck. "If he gets hurt because of you I promise you I'll never forgive you!" She snaps.
