Look and Feel

Basalt walls hold steady warmth from the radiant floors; breath fogs only in the wind porch. Hand-lettered dosage tables and vaccination charts hang along the corridor. Oil lamps and Luminofera bands throw a calm, even light across ledgers, exam cots, and dispensary tins. A foot bellows feeds the sterilizer; a brass bell summons the next patient. Everything is labeled, reachable, and built for cold-country reliability.

Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters

Adventure Hook — The Doctor Taken in Twilight (Firetown): After closing, the GP fails to answer the on-call bell. In the service bay: a shattered crate, cinders tracked across grit mats, and a falsified FCS waybill. Witnesses whisper the Jane Mendoza Gang name. Privately, the Sheriff reveals the doctor’s covert recon past from the Great War. Why take him now—drug synthesis, cache maps, cipher keys? Deputized off the books, the PCs chase forged ledgers through slag-hauler routes and geothermal conduit tunnels before the gang extracts what he knows.
