The Surgeon’s Office

Advertisements

As you’re sitting in the pub in Sunshire, drinking a pint and trying your best to unwind from your last adventure, you’re approached by a man walking with a limp. “Excuse me, but my master requests an audience with you,” he says softly. As he steps away, a woman wearing a cloak comes by and sits in front of you, carrying enough glasses of amber liquid for the entire table. She pulls off the cloak to reveal her flowing blonde locks.

 

“It’s good to see you again,” she says with a soft smile across her face. She reaches down and picks up the small glass and takes down the liquid before looking into your eyes. “I need a favor from someone with your skill set.”

 

You sit still and drink from the glass she brought you. “I have a man who needs to be dealt with. He roughed up one of my girls and I really need him to understand that behavior like that comes with consequences. He thinks that, just because he is a doctor and this damn place needs him, he can do whatever he wants. Will you head to his office and take care of him?”

 

You look across the table and smirk at Kerriges, nodding slowly while sipping from the drink she brought you. “He’ll probably have a few goons with him. You’ll have to deal with them too, but he can explain that to their families.” She pushes back from the table and looks down at you while you remain seated. “I want him bloodied and beaten, but not dead. I’d hate to lose a paying customer. Oh, and if you find anything at his home that you want, feel free to take it for payment.”

 

The Surgeon's Office

The Surgeon’s Office is near the edge of the city, secluded enough where there wouldn’t be many passers-by but convienent enough that if there was an ailment, you would be close enough to get help. The building was constructed of a thick stone and made to where you couldn’t hear the screams from the patients inside. The door is made of a solid, sturdy wood and you walk into the Surgeon’s Office to find several men standing there at the door. Surprised to see you, they draw their weapons and the first set of bodyguards charge toward you.

 

Commence Battle with Bodyguard x 2

 

The two bodyguards are tossed to the side, bloodied and broken from the beating you delivered.Their bodies are mangled and gashed as you look down at them and awe at your work. They attacked you without any provocation and simply for walking through the door; they got what they deserved. You hear a scuffle near the door and turn your head toward it, noticing three more bodyguards. They draw their weapons and run toward you, hoping to kill you where you stand where the others could not.

 

Commence Battle with Bodyguard x 3

 

The second set of bodyguards join the first, tossed to the side with blood pouring from their wounds. Their bodies stacked on top of one another in a pile. The blood from the five bodyguards pool in a small area toward the center of the room near a drain, where many of the fluids in the room head to. You hear a scuffle from the door, looking up to see four more bodyguards standing in the doorway. You hold your weapons in your hands firmly and attack, knowing that they would do the same. .

 

Commence Battle with Bodyguard x 4

 

The final set of men that were guarding the door fall to the floor, leaving an open path for you to walk through the door to find the Surgeon cowering in the corner of the room. “Please, don’t!” he screams as you walk toward him. “I’ll give you whatever you want, just, please, don’t hurt me!”

 

You look down as the surgeon got on his knees and begged for his life. “Are you here for what happened at Kerriges’s? I swear, I won’t harm another woman there. I swear to you. She hit me first, but I promise, next time, I’ll just let her hit me. I won’t hit her back!” he pleaded with you.

 

“Look, what if I trade you something for you not harming me?” he continued to plead. He crawled over to a safe and opened it up, pulling out what appears to be a small, glowing, blue crystal. “I had a patient give me this for payment this week. I know how valuable this is and it’s yours if you don’t hurt me. Please, take it!”

You look down at the surgeon as he clasps his hands together, begging you for mercy. You smirk as you raise your hand in the air to slap him across the face. He dives to the ground and cowers, covering his head with his hands and refusing to look at you. You laugh as you turn around and leave his office, having completed your mission.
