The Physicians look to Davaulus and he gives them a little shake of his head and a gesture, at which they relax and return to their duties.
"Of course," says Davaulus. "I'd be happy to help." He sweeps his arm, encompassing the main room. "This is our main sick ward, as you can see, and here is where we prepare medicine, and meals for those who are able to take them." He leans closer and continues in a low voice, "I'm afraid the best we can do for most of these poor people is to make them comfortable before they die." He shrugs, and his sad expression looks even more sad.
"Now, this might interest you," he steers you towards the right-hand door at the back. "Through there's just an old cargo lift from when this was a warehouse," he says, gesturing to the left-hand door. "We don't use it, it's not safe. Now..." He opens the right hand door to reveal stairs leading up. "If you'd care to follow me, gentlemen"

"Ah," says Red. "They says there's one of them Runelords buried deep under the city, but I's never seen any evidence myself. Hold up..." He gestures to Mhairi. One of the Physicians down in the warehouse is heading towards the outer door. Mhairi checks over the edge of the roof. Down below at street level the Physician pokes his bird-masked face out of the door, checks the street to left and right and then closes the front door. There is the sound of bolts being pulled across.
