• Location • The Sawbones Shack

For all your medical needs in Darbyton

Darbyton is a well established little village, most of the inhabitants are quick to point out that they were the first proper settlement in Scalvoris history. Although primarily focused on logging, enough hunting and trapping goes on to largely fulfil their own food needs and almost every home regularly grows bean sprouts to help make sure nutritional needs are met. Between that and spruce tips and the like, very little is imported, which fits in with the nature of the people who live here.

The Sawbones Shack

The Sawbones Shack
Image
On Felltree Road, there's a nondescript shack, tucked between the various warehouses. There's no sign indicating a business of any sort, and the windows are painted over from the inside. This is the Sawbones Shack, a cornerstone of Darbyton. It was built by The Doctor himself, when he arrived a few decades back.

The Shack is Darbyton's only medical service. There is no branch of the Order of the Adunih here, and all other doctors that have tried to start up in Darbyton, found that the locals don't bother. Everyone goes to the Sawbones Shack, to see the Doctor. The doctor rarely performs medical procedures in the Shack, and all that have been inside never speak a word of their experience, for to do so is to cut oneself off from medical treatment. It's the only rule of the Sawbones Shack. You never speak of what you see.

For standard treatments, the Doctor comes to a Darbytonian's home, or to the scene of the accident, wherever he's needed, usually summoned by a runner. The Doctor is on retainer with the Logging Consortium, and as such, treats all employees for any injury, condition, or illness, free of charge to the employee. Non-employees, the Doctor works out compensation with them after treatment is provided. He's very amicable and reasonable and takes payment in the form of money, bartering of goods, or services provided.

But for special 'clients', special meaning those he's treated and saved the lives of, he offers Closed Door services. These are the services he renders in the Sawbones Shack itself. It's these services that never get spoken of. And for good reason, for many would find these services... unsavory. This is why he only provides them to those that owe him their lives.

The Doctor

Image
Name: The Doctor, name unknown
Race: Yludih - Human form
Age: Saun 12, 665
Title: The Doctor
Skills: Medicine 55, Caregiving 46, other skills are Mod Secret.
Other Information: The Doctor is a private man. He never speaks of his past, never mentions family or relationships. He has no friends, just clients, and patients. He is a man of strict routine and cleanliness. Every morning he eats his breakfast of two boiled eggs on the steps of his Shack. He then walks through town, checking on any of his patients from previous trials. His lunch is usually provided by a patient or former patient. He eats in silence, always outdoors. After lunch, he stops by the Logging Consortium to receive his daily retainer pay. He then returns back to the Sawbones Shacks, and isn't seen again for the rest of the Trial, except for when he eats his dinner at nightfall. He is a man easily found, and runners, usually child apprentices, are sent to retrieve him when he's needed. And he answers every call, no matter the time of trial.

Standard Services

The Doctor will treat most injuries and illnesses within his abilities. If he can't treat or fix someone, he will direct them to the Order of Adunih in Scalvoris Town. For employees of the Logging Consortium, all treatment and cost of materials are free to the injured or ailing. For non-employees of the Logging Consortium, the doctor charges the cost of materials plus 1 Gold Nel for any treatment but is open to bartering of goods and services to pay. He doesn't request payment until after treatment is given.

Closed Door Services

The Doctor only provides the following services, and others of such nature, to those he's saved the life of and are indebted to him, to only those he trusts to keep their mouths shut. These services may not always be directly performed on the Client, but can be done to others at the Client's request. It simply depends on whatever the Client wants. These services are paid for up front, but the Doctor always succeeds. Anyone who speaks of any of these services will find themselves cut off from medical treatment, unemployed from the Logging Consortium if available, and more often than not, found to be missing and never seen again.
