The Staff

• Doctor David D'Rael: David has lived in Myrken Wood for a number of years. Having moved from a number of places north of the Amasynian Province, David found a perfect place to start up his profession - Myrkentown, a nice, lovely little area without much of a medical establishment and one hell of a demon infestation problem. The doc has always been known to be on the level and straightforward -- if one doesn't want to know, one shouldn't ask, as more likely than not he'll tell you, regardless. Even if it is to let you know you're going to die very soon. Considered a kind man by those who meets him, he takes his job seriously -- as well as the words 'All are welcome' at the Edificium's entrance.

• Janessa: Janessa has lived in Myrken Wood for a few short years. She speaks little of where she had come from before, but those who come in contact with her know her to be hard working, kind and above all sincerely polite. She came to the Doctor with mostly basic skills though over her time she had come to learn more about medicine and treatment through his teaching. She serves with dedication as an assistant to the Doctor.

Exterior

The Rememdium Edificium is a low, squarish single-story building some hundred feet from the Broken Dagger. One can view the entrance to one building from the other, and vice versa.

The Edificium is sunken back from the road enough to permit a half-decent yard; there is grass to be seen, at least, with a barren dirt pathway extending off the road although most in haste simply trample the grass. There is a tree in this yard, half obscuring the Broken Dagger's far side from the entrance of the Edificium. Other windows will find different views blocked at different angles respectively.

The tree in question is a large, old oak. Large enough to overshadow the Edificium quite easily; it keeps the building especially cool in the afternoon, shading a good portion of the building.

The roof of the Rememdium Edificium is a simple pyramid shape, low and sharp in its angles. There's not much height in the center point, but it does its job -- preventing water build-up and the subsequent problems that such a condition causes.

The door to the Edificium is centered in the main entrance room, which means it's off-center from the outside, as there is another room that shares the front of the building. Three windows also occupy that face -- two in the entrance, or foyer, and another in that other room -- the storeroom.

Interior

The foyer is a large, relatively plain room. Wooden chairs dot the wall shared by the entrance, as well as two landscape paintings that were an attempt to put some feeling of serenity into the room. They are fairly large paintings, but perhaps misplaced in such a large room. A wash basin occupies the wall opposite the door.

In the far left corner of the room from the door, there is the doctor's office. It's a square room with no door, but a doorway facing not at the original entrance, but facing right - the walls are also cut away as if to place in windows looking into the foyer, but no windows were ever installed. It was finished that way, providing no barriers for the doctor to pass through if severely injured folk came in. It's robably the most decorated room: a large desk sits in the center of the room, with a chair on either side of it. The one opposite the doorway, obviously the doctor's, does not match the others - it looked far older, more worn. A bookshelf rests against the wall on the door's right, filled with large volumes of whathaveyou in, for the most part, Common -- but a few are written in Elvin dialects.

Finally, two painted portraits are nailed to the wall, some place out of the way -- one shows a naturally beautiful Elven woman, the other portraying an angelic blonde woman.

The room sharing the front wall with the foyer is also squarish, like the doctor's office, however considerably bigger. There are actual doors to this room, one joining the foyer and another joining with the hallway that runs along the outer right side of the building; the foyer also has a doorway to this hallway, several yards left of the one leading to the storeroom. This one has no door.

The storeroom is, naturally, just that - a room for storage. Shelves line two of the walls, covered in vials empty and full, with varying colors. A table rests against another wall, usually covered in plant and herb crushings. An accompanying chair is tucked under it when not in use.

Spare cots and chests containing spare clothing are in the final corner. Tools like bandages and dagger shavings have their own shelf dedication, at a level that is easily reached.

The hallway, wrapping about the outer right side of the building, turns down to stretch around the backside of the foyer. From this stretch come three doors, which subsequently lead to three uniform rooms.

Accomodation and Precautions

Each room contains two raised cots, a couple of stools, and table containing similar emergency supplies as the storeroom. A window is on each available outer wall, meaning two for the rooms at the far left and far right, and only one for the center. Blinds are available for all of them.

Each room of the Edificium has a hole leading to a duct, all of which lead to stove built into the back wall of the building on the outside; a large stack of firewood is almost always piled nearby in case of specifically cold days. All one has to do is start it burning, add in fire wood and close it, and the heat would channel through the rest of the building -- most of all to the three rooms, as they have more proximity than any other part of the building.
