The Chop Shop
The Chop Shop is barely a building, more of a heavily reinforced chamber in the centre of the demon mines. It's placed over a large thermal vent, for the better healing of demons whose favourite body temperatures are several hundred degrees centigrate, just below the temperature of molten stone. And while this can range depending on the type of demon. Anything from a more 100 degrees Centigrade for mud demons to several hundred degrees for marble and granite based demons.
Deliberately kept near 100 degrees for the convalescing demons, the chop shop contains the latest technology for demon recovery. Hacksaws and other implements of dissection stand beside mud packs, healing sulphur and other demon apothecary favourites.
The Chop Shop is an amazing place to relax and recover after a hard day at the demon mines. But don't fall asleep. I did once and ended up with someone else's legs for a week. Actually, two someone else's. Those legs were different lengths and one of them was from a mere mud demon and I'm not even sure about the other. It was ghastly bright is all I can say, and looked like bass or copper or one of the ghastly metals that humans like.
