{"type":"location","location":{"title":"Master Galen's Apothecary - Via dei Tribunali","description":"You stand in the cluttered apothecary of Master Galen, your master in the art of plague doctoring. Dust motes dance in the pale morning light filtering through the shuttered windows. The air is thick with the scent of dried herbs, bitter medicines, and something you cannot quite identify—perhaps the miasma itself that causes the current pestilence.\n\nShelves line every wall, crammed with ceramic jars labeled in fading script: THERIAC, MERCURY SUBLIMATE, POWDERED UNICORN HORN, and stranger things still. A long wooden worktable dominates the center of the room, scattered with mortar and pestle, lancets for bloodletting, and Master Galen's leather-bound journals filled with observations.\n\nOn the wall hangs Master Galen's most prized possession—his beaked plague mask, the long curved nose stuffed with aromatic herbs to filter the poisoned air. Beside it rests his cane and the medical satchel you will soon carry on house calls.\n\nMaster Galen himself is not here. A note on the table reads: 'Apprentice—I have been summoned to examine the Rossi family. The servants whisper of something unprecedented. Return when you have gathered the essential supplies. Trust no one but your instruments. —G'\n\nThe shop door leading to the street stands closed. A back room door is partially ajar.","suggestedActions":["Read through Master Galen's journals on the worktable","Examine the jars on the shelves for clues about treatments","Investigate the back room through the ajar door","Prepare your medical satchel with supplies for house calls","Look for the note's meaning—what supplies are essential?"],"conversation":"aj3iberxr0wzps9x0arl7"},"conversationLength":1,"maxFreeConversationLength":10}
