Crucible

The Crucible (Горны) is home to the Kain family. It's located in The Bridge Square, on the West bank of The Gullet.

Description
The Crucible consists of three separate mansions surrounded by a high, gated wall. The three wings of the mansion belong to Victor Kain, Georgiy Kain, and Maria Kaina respectively. The Crucible is covered in intriguing and strange artwork, as well as portraits of members of the Kains. It is the closest residence to The Polyhedron and is also located close to the family tomb, where Nina Kaina is buried.

Pathologic
All playable healers may rest in either of the beds in Maria's wing. One of the beds is located in a bedroom with childish knickknacks and likely belongs to Khan, who rarely leaves the Polyhedron.

Pathologic 2
The Haruspex is able to save at the clocks in all three wings. In contrast to Pathologic, in Pathologic 2 Georgiy is not found in the main section of the mansion, but is instead found inside of a workshop on the left side of his home.

Haruspex Route
On Day 6, the Haruspex will receive a letter from Victor Kain with an invitation to visit him. After being directed to her, Maria will offer an insincere apology and request he retrieve a diary from her mother's grave.

On Day 8, Georgiy Kain sends a letter asking the Haruspex to speak with him. He will advise the Haruspex to give up Vlad the Younger to Taya Tycheek. The Haruspex can do this for a monetary reward from Georgiy, or give up Big Vlad instead.

On Day 12, as all residents of the Crucible are members of the Bachelor's Bound, there is a chance that they will be infected and an Executor will be stationed outside of their wings. If the player wishes for the Bachelor to join them in the Cathedral, they must cure them with a Shmowder or Panacea.

Upon waking the Bachelor will be informed by Sticky that the Judge has stopped by to see him. While walking through the Town the Bachelor will begin to hear worrying rumours that the Judge has lifted the quarantine - an action that would put the already vulnerable Bridge Square and Atrium at risk. Outside of the Judge's Workshop a tragedian will be standing, uttering worrying things about the Judge's choices. Inside the Judge waits. When confronted about quarantine measures Georgiy Kain will explain his philosophy, citing that the plague may merely be a test that the Town must pass.

Three anti-plague committee members are located outside Georgiy's wing, and can be spoken to about the town and the epidemic. The Bachelor can express his opinion in return and encourage further measures, but ultimately cannot reverse the changes Georgiy has made.

"Headquarters for the anti-plague committee. The place to take day-to-day concerns to."
