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 7, while looking for the Inquisitor, the Haruspex will be directed to Victor Kain. Victor will tell the Haruspex that the Inquisitor has already left and returned to the Cathedral.

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.

Changeling Route
On Day 1, Alexander Saburov asks the Changeling to question Georgiy Kain. Georgiy will refuse to speak to the Changeling until she has met with Maria Kaina. After talking to Maria, the Changeling can question Georgiy.

On Day 3, after finding Stanislav Rubin, the Changeling can choose to betray him and tell the Kains where he is. If she attempts to talk to Georgiy or Maria, she will lose a lot of reputation. If she talks to Victor, he will not arrest Rubin, but thanks her for her honesty and gives her a monetary reward.

On Day 4, Katerina Saburova asks the Changeling to convert Mark Immortell to the Humbles. She will find Mark at the Crucible with Maria Kaina.

On Day 5, the Changeling must find Georgiy and ask him to forgive Rubin taking Simon Kain's body in order to learn about the Vaccines that Rubin and the Bachelor have made. The Changeling will also receive a letter from Capella who had a vision of something terrible happening at the Cathedral and requests the Changeling ask Maria if she also had a vision.

On Day 7, Katerina teaches the Changeling about Mistresses and sends her to speak to Capella and Maria, as they are future Mistresses.

Starting from Day 8 until Day 10, Maria Kaina will send the Changeling a letter every day asking her to look for the Bachelor and warn him that he is in danger. If the Changeling complies with her request, she can visit Maria in her wing at the Crucible for a reward.

On Day 9, the Inquisitor asks the Changeling to investigate the Polyhedron and to speak to Georgiy Kain. Georgiy will ask her to find out what happened to Simon Kain's blood. After talking to Rubin, the Changeling can speak to Georgiy again, as well as his brother Victor Kain.

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 the 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. They will later be replaced by Tragedians.

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