A lawless town of anarchists, built on the ruins of an ancient mining city. [Lore]
Danck was rudely awoken from his sleep by somebody who seemed to be doing his best to knock down the door of his shack, while loudly yelling. “Wake up you brat! We got some work for ya.” Danck let out an annoyed groan as he got out of bed and quickly slipped back into his dirty clothes and quickly went towards the door, slipping aside a small piece of wound and piering through the small hole. “Right am here, what work do ya got for me? Need to break in somewhere and don't know the first things on how to pick a lock or something?” Danck said a hint of annoyance and suspicion in his tone, the two didn't really look that special as far as he could see, just random thug's who lurked on every corner in sunberth, ready to knock the first easy victim out and steal his valuables. The thug who had been knocking on the door just stood aside and pulled his friend a few steps closer. “Look, a mugging just went wrong a few chimes ago okay, and some guy I know let it slip a that you knew something about stitching people up. We can pay ya if you stitch him up half decently!” Danck mulled over that opportunity for a while, it didn't seem as they whre going to knock him down and out as soon as he opened the door, he didn't have much of value Besides with a bit of effort that door could be broken down with not to much trouble anyway. “Fine, I'll let you guy's inside and I'll take a look at that guy's wound and try to fix it up as good as I can, as long as your able to pay.” He unlocked the door and let the two men inside. “Whoever of the two is hurt sit down on the chair and tell me what ya got.
As soon as the second man entered the ramshackle shed he called his home he already noticed what was wrong, the man was pressing a bloodsoaked rag against his underarm, So he guessed it probably was a cutwound, daggers and club's where the most used weapons in sunberth and breaks usually didn't bleed. Unless the bone had been driven through the skin, which luckely wasn't that common. “Now, you.” He pointed towards the wounded man. “sit down and hold out your arm so I can get a good look at it.” He picked up the sack of medical supplies he had stashed away underneath the bed and set it down next to the chair his patient was sitting on, taking the man's arm in a firm grip. Ignoring the small whimper of pain and pulled away the bloodied rag and gave the bloody wound a look. First thing he noticed was that the cut, while deep wasn't as bad as it looked and the bleeding already had stopped. At least the thug was smart enough to know that applying pressure to bleeding wounds made the bleeding stop. “Well this doesn't look to bad, but it still needs to be cleaned up and it might need some stitches for it to heal completely.” Danck said as he began to rummage through his bag of medical supplies. Pulling out a pot, an iron rod wrapped in leather, some clean compresses, bandages and a needle with wire. “Now this can sting a bit, but I gotta clean it up before I stitch it shut otherwise who knows what kind of diseases can get in there.” Danck said as he opened the pot, the clear fluid spreading a horrid smell. Both of the other men, who had been silently waiting and watching what the little brat had been doing averted their faces from the horrid smell. “What in Xyna is that stuff!” The man with the wounded arm said in a disgusted tone. Danck just ignored him and dipped one of the compresses in the fluid and began to clean the, ignoring the sudden hiss of pain from his patient. “Just bite on your teeth for a while and for yshul's sake. Keep that arm still while I'm working on it.” Danck just took a firmer grip on the man's arm, trying to keep it still as he continued to clean the wound.
Danck was glad as he finally cleaned up most of the filth in and around the wound and once again gave it a closer look. Trying to get a better sense of how he should proceed with the treatment now that he could see the wound a bit better. “Well, it doesn't seem like you need to get any stitches now that its all cleaned up, the cut isn't very deep and hasn't hit anything really important. So I'm not gonna waste any of my thread on it. Now just hold still fore a little bit longer as I finish up cleaning it and bandage it to keep out the filth. Or else your arm just might rot off.” Danck was exaggerating a little bit here, but the chance for gangrene or something else was quite real, and the two thug's looked as if they would dare to ignore his advice so a bit of fear tactic's probably wouldn't hurt.
Both of them seemed to be convinced, as the non-hurt one kept his mouth shut and the hurt one kept his arm as still as he could, letting danck bandage the hurt appendage without to much trouble. After a chime Danck was finally done with treating the big thug and stowed away his tools and stuff. “All done, just keep it clean till the wound has closed and it should be just fine. Now lets discuss payment shall we?” He said in the most authoritative voice he could. Hoping that the two thug's had the business sense not to screw him over after this. Luckily for him they both nodded and the unhurt one fished some coins out of his pocket and pressed it in his hand. “Yeah thats good enough.” Danck said after he took a look at the coins. Both of the men showed themselves out and coren locked the door behind them. Stowing the miza's with the rest and going back to sleep.
