This small building is usually crammed full of patients with aliments from broken bones to incureable diseases. All temples offer healing, but most expect a good donation for the work. Bloodhelm's Healers doesn't require any donation or fee, though the patients always leave what they can. Run by Teaha Burnwell, this Priestess of Tinaka works with her fellow hodgepodge of healers from every faith daily to soothe the wounds of the poor. They turn no one away, but there are always those who just can't be saved, which causes Teaha quite a bit of anguish.
The Healers are open from sunrise to sunset, though if there are still patients, Teaha and her helpers never turn anyone away. Bloodhelm's guards are always watching the place to make sure that Teaha and her fellows are safe, for even this generous woman is in harms way at times. The Lord of Bloodhelm finds this an excellent endeaver and though he does not do so openly (for he doesn't want to offend the temples) he supplies small, untraceable donations to the place. Diseases begin in the poorest areas and he finds this slows, if not stops, the spread of such things in his city.
The players might interact with the Healers because they have a wound and are not in favor of a temple (or just out of money) or they may be a priest in need of some pentance.
