Brass Lamp

A heavy brass table lamp with a thick base and a conical glass shade, sturdy enough to be wielded as an improvised weapon. Its metal components gleam dully in the cellar’s dim light, the glass shade marred by cracks from Duggan’s violent use. The lamp’s weight and rigid structure make it a blunt-force implement, capable of causing serious injury.

Doctor and allies clash on escape timing

The brass lamp is positioned centrally on a packing crate as the trio’s only light source, its dim flame insufficient for prolonged escape planning.

Duggan’s indifference to maintaining the lamp mirrors his disregard for the environment.

Before: Functional, upright on a crate, freshly lit.

After: Still burning dimly, its assertive presence unchanged as the real tension shifts to the door.
