Basic Info:

  • Excellent place to find first aid kits. Zombies frequently check inside.
  • Portable Generators have a use other than powering the lights and increasing search probability in hospitals. Players with the Surgery Skill can heal for 15 HP if the Hospital has a fueled up Generator.
  • Hospitals can be barricaded normally.
  • Among the internal descriptions found in Hospitals:
    • "...its wards and corridors blackened with the soot of a recent fire"
    • "...its empty wards criss-crossed with snapped quarantine tape."
    • "...one of the city's psychiatric hospitals."
    • "...dark corridors leading through abandoned wards."
    • "...its emergency room in disarray."
    • "...its lobby covered with quarantine posters."
    • "...a children's hospital with bright murals across the walls. "
    • "The main lobby is riddled with bullet holes."
    • "It was one of the last to be evacuated, and seems to have been cleared out in a hurry."
    • "...a derelict hospital that was closed down years ago."

St. Luke's Hospital (Old Arkham)

Description

A very old building with Gothic architecture and stonework giving a sense of dread to patients as they approached...

History

The building which is now called St. Luke's Hospital was formerly one half of the infamous Arkham sanitariums. The uppermost floors are abandoned and considered off-limits due to the fire damage that ravaged the internal walls during the mass escape. This tragic event originally forced the asylum's closure. Strange and terrible therapy machines were discovered in the treatment rooms, the purpose of which could only be guessed. The basement of the hospital is home to the Miskatonic University College of Arcane Medicinal Practice (or CAMP) which teaches such practices as bloodletting, trephination, and mercury enemas.

The hospital is also the headquarters of the Arkham Medical Society.

After the zombie apocalypse, the hospital became a source of first aid and trauma care for those still in the suburb.

This is also where Dr. Hatecraft oversees the rebuilding of the Miskatonic University. He provides healing and revivication for all who need it.

Barricade Policy

Because of persistent zombie activity, St. Luke's Hospital is maintained at EHB+.

Current Status

February 12, 2009 - An uprising of The Dead has been running amuck across Southwest Malton, there are several zeds outside drawn to the lights --MR2Di4 (talk) 06:42, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

May 14, 2009 - You are inside St Luke's Hospital. It was one of the last to be evacuated, and seems to have been cleared out in a hurry. The building has been extremely heavily barricaded. A portable generator has been set up here. It is running. One of the wards has been decorated with a terracotta statue, a Ming vase and a cremation urn. Somebody has spraypainted Miskatonic U. Medical Center and Arkham Asylum onto a wall.--Dr Mycroft Chris 19:22, 14 May 2009 (BST)

May 5, 2009 - It's the imposibble to get inside. --Stuart Orlando 00:23, 4 May 2009 (BST)

August 22, 2007 - St Luke's has been the target of a small but persistent group of zombies -- the Arkham Asylum Avengers, and their feral allies -- who seem determined to return to their "home". ROAR and their allies watch the hospital, but breakins are frequent. --WanYao 13:33, 22 August 2007 (BST)
