Here is my video showing how to make Grelod leave Riften:

I paralyzed Grelod outside of the Hall of the Elements, allowing me guaranteed success with reverse pickpocketing her a Daedric Dagger of the Vampire, the Sanguine Rose, and 3 of J'zargo's Flame Cloak Scrolls. The dagger can be obtained at low levels, by using the Atronach Forge. I boosted her with double-cast Courage and Rally, along with using the Bend Will shout. Inside the Hall, I used Ash Rune on her, to prevent her from being affected by Ancano's paralysis spell.

I used the Staff of Magnus to keep the Eye of Magnus closed, playing a necessary support role, as I wanted the battle to be just Grelod fighting Ancano, also without the support of Tolfdir. After Grelod killed Ancano, I cast Soul Trap and Paralyze on her, and then used Sun Flare, to reduce her boosted health. I deliberately set up the fight to be Skyrim pacifist, with Tolfdir killing her.

You cannot wait in the Hall of the Elements, as I did in my other Grelod videos. This time, I had to exit the Hall and track down the Honorhall Orphans, and guide them to the Hall of the Elements, as they will run away and stop their journey to Grelod if anything turns hostile to them along the way.
