Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne - Seven Days to the Grave

To Edmond Ignatius says, "I think we should check all of these doors again, starting with the northern one; opening it with the butt of your weapon seemed to work on the last one." Glancing towards the prisoner as he steps in behind the duskblade, he adds, "Unless we want to take Miss Denial here back up to Taddeus to watch over on the first floor, it would be irresponsible to leave any avenue open behind us where someone could slip in and slit her throat or free her while we were not looking."

"She should see for herself, otherwise she might try to run and warn the cult. Put her behind us, try to shield her with something and cut her legs loose, just in case."

To the nurse:
"You cannot get up without the elevator. We will do our best to protect you. Stay safe. When you've seen enough we'll bring you back up."

Edmond waits until she's set (semi) free and butts the door open.
 

The door opens into a room with some low benches in the middle and glass-fronted cabinets, filled with jars and medical tools, around the walls. There are several sets of the Physicians' leather coats and masks hanging on the walls as well. Another door leads off to the right, around the corner, but the room is otherwise empty. The nurse looks at you and shrugs. There is nothing particularly incriminating here.

Ignatius glances at the contents of the glass cabinets as they pass through the room, but his attention is mostly focused on what lay beyond the next door. The ifrit closely follows behind Edmond, ready to heal the duskblade should the need arise.
 

Ignatius notices that one of the cabinets is locked with a small brass padlock. Inside are several identical flasks and a glass jar full of black gems. The rest contain medical supplies of various kinds, and could probably be combined to form several healer's kits.
 



Mhairi

Mhairi sighed from her habitual spot at the back of the group as Edmond turned around. She used the slight delay to have a quick scan of the shelves and benches, mostly to see if there was anything worthwhile purloining and selling. The lumps of black stones in her pocket that she'd found on Rolff's still warm corpse weight on Mhairi's mind, and her conscience. I really should tell the boys about them...

She tries to engage the nurse in conversation, simply to pass the time. "So, what is it you did around here nurse? And how do they pay you enough to work with people with Blood Veil? I don't think there's enough money in the Queen's treasury that could convince me to do your job...
 

The nurse studiously ignores any questions put to her. Mhairi notes that black gemstones in the jar are the same as the ones she pocketed from Rolth.

Meanwhile, Edmond turns around and returns to the double doors into the room with the plague vats. As you pass through the Bacchanal, there is a gasp of horror from the nurse, and she seems transfixed by the writhing figures trapped behind the glass.

"What...?" is all she can manage to say.
