Touching the head more than once does nothing. For purposes of getting the mutation removed, treat the effect as a curse. Once a person has touched the head, they now carry a faint aura which can be smelled out by a certain tribe of gnomes. Two gnomes will arrive in 1d4 days to serve them. The gnomes will be chaotic in alignment and good/evil/neutral based on the alignment of their master.

Chaotic Gnome (AC 6; MV 6”; HD 1; #AT 1; D By weapon; XP 10 + 1/hp)

Each will have 0-9 (1d10-1) gold crescents, 0-19 (1d20-1) silver spanners, and 0-99 (1d%-1) copper pieces. They will be armed with a short sword (40%), hand axe (30%), or club (30%).

The gnolls treat this as a sacred object. Occasionally a gnoll will come here and toach the face on purpose in order to receive a mutation. Then they will go out to explore the Castle and Grounds with their gnome servants.
