A2. Dr. Livinius' Sanitarium

kh1-a-2 • kh1-a-2 • KH1: The Blackapple Brugh

This large stone country house has been repurposed to serve as a small sanitarium. There's a front door and a back door, both locked with keys held by Livinius and his two assistants. The windows are barred. Four upstairs guest rooms have been converted into cells for Livinius' troubled clients. He currently only has three patients; the fourth recently escaped. The Sanitarium floor-plan map is on page 43. If the players knock on the door: The door opens to reveal a clean-cut, burly man in a white coat. He looks you up and down and then squarely at your face, waiting for you to speak. The burly man is an assistant. If the PCs impress him as being serious, he'll notify the master. But as a rule Dr. Livinius doesn't take visitors unannounced, so unless they have something interesting to say the door will be shut in their faces. Of course, if their business is related to the escaped lunatic, that would be an opening. If the madman is returned alive Livinius will reward the party with 185 gp and would be willing to grant an audience if they ask for it. If the GM wants to play up the role-playing, Livinius is always happy to discuss his practice for healing mental illness, which includes exorcism, leechcraft, and ad hoc brain surgery. The Case of Arthur Figwort Livinius is currently treating the boy Arthur Figwort for madness. Livinius has diagnosed the boy with “humoural imbalance caused by persistent category II demonic infestation”, the treatment of which requires brain surgery.

Due to his low level, when he casts dispel evil from the scroll there is a 50% chance of spell failure.
