===== Look and Feel =====
Cool stone at the base, warm timber above. The air smells of boiled linens and alcohol rubs. Hand-lettered dosage tables, vaccination charts, and wound-care posters hang along the corridor. Oil lamps and luminescent bands give an even glow across the ledger desk, exam cots, and dispensary shelves. A foot bellows feeds the sterilizer; a brass bell summons the next patient. Everything is labeled and within reach—care delivered quietly, on paper, and with calm hands in perpetual twilight.

===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
  * **Adventure Hook — The Doctor Taken in Twilight (Hope):** After closing, the GP fails to answer the on-call bell. Behind the service gate: a splintered crate, a smeared boot print, and a falsified FCS waybill. Witnesses mutter the [[jane_bold_gang|Jane Mendoza Gang]] name. In confidence, the Sheriff reveals the doctor’s past with a covert recon unit during the Great War. Why abduct him now—drug synthesis, cache maps, cipher keys? Deputized off the books, the PCs must read ledgers, trace the fake waybill, and follow cart ruts into the gloom before the gang forces what he knows.
