Plot
Pathologic
Bachelor Route
On Day 1 the Bachelor speaks with Big Vlad on the subject of Isidor Burakh and his supposed murder. Big Vlad is intentionally unhelpful, not wanting to discuss matters of business with an outsider like him. The Bachelor will also be called to the Lump on Day 4 to discuss the creation of a morgue, hospital, and isolation ward for the upcoming epidemic.
On Day 8 the Bachelor will speak with Taya Tycheek, where in exchange for access to the Abattoir, he must bring to the Termitary the one responsible for locking the Kin up inside. The Bachelor must choose if he will send Vlad the Younger to face the Kin, as he had locked up the Termitary in the wake of alleged riots and the suspicion of the coming Sand Plague, or if he will send Big Vlad, as he is the leader of the Bull Enterprise, and thus wishes to bear the burden of his faults by himself. If Big Vlad is sent, the Lump's main wing will be no longer accessible.
Haruspex Route
On Day 1 the Haruspex is guided to the Lump by the Executors at the train station. If the Haruspex arrives before eleven in the morning a Tragedian will be situated outside of Olgimsky's Seat and will disallow entry, citing that the Haruspex must come back later. When the Haruspex is able to talk to Big Vlad he will inform the Haruspex of his father's murder and reveal that he is suspected of patricide. Following the discussion with Big Vlad the Haruspex will be directed to his daughter, Capella, who will provide him with his list of Bound.
On Day 2 the Haruspex will once again find himself at the Lump. If he speaks to Big Vlad he will be informed that Alexander Saburov holds the key to the Burakh home. He will also be told of an upcoming epidemic and is warned that once it starts the Lump will no longer be able to protect him.
On Day 3 the Haruspex will be called to the Lump to discuss matters of his family inheritance. He will also discover from Big Vlad that the Termitary has been locked due to the epidemic. A side quest can be found from Capella in her wing of the Lump, as she has felt that Notkin is in danger.
On Day 7 the Haruspex will receive a letter from Capella, asking him to see her in her wing of the Lump. When spoken to she will ask the Haruspex to check up on Taya Tycheek in the Termitary.
On Day 8 similar to the request asked of the Bachelor, Taya Tycheek will ask the Haruspex to bring the one responsible for locking the Kin up inside. He must also choose if he will send Vlad the Younger or Big Vlad to face the Kin. If Big Vlad is sent, the Lump's main wing will be no longer accessible.
On Day 9 Capella will send the Haruspex a letter asking to meet her in the Lump. She will ask the Haruspex to check on Sticky, who has got in trouble with the Dogheads.
On Day 10, if spoken to in the Lump, Capella asks the Haruspex to visit Murky in her train car.
On Day 11 Capella will once again request the Haruspex's aid, asking him to talk to Khan on matters of the future between the Olgimsky's and the Kains.
Changeling Route
Pathologic 2
At the end of Day 1, Big Vlad offers the Haruspex refuge in the Lump after he arrives in town, accused of murdering his father. Haruspex may also choose to visit Big Vlad later on Day 2, where he will be spoken to regarding his father's funeral.
On Day 2 the Haruspex may choose to visit Big Vlad to discuss the key to the warehouse given to Isidor Burakh by one with the initials "V.O". On the same day the Haruspex will be led to the Lump to discuss to the closure of the Termitary with Big Vlad, citing requiring to see Taya Tycheek inside. Additionally on Day 2 the Haruspex is introduced to Capella, who resides in the Lump in a separate wing to her father. On this day Yulia Lyuricheva can be found on the balcony in Capella's Wing.
On Day 3 workers can be found protesting outside of Olgimsky's Seat, distressed by the closure of Olgimsky's Factory due to a "soot problem".
| Spoiler warning: Significant plot details follow. |
| As early as Day 7, the Haruspex will be confronted with a request of the Kin in the Termitary to bring them "Olgimsky", to look him in the eye for what he had done to those inside the Termitary. The Haruspex must choose if he will allow Vlad the Younger to face what he had done, as he had locked up the Termitary in the wake of alleged riots and the suspicion of the coming Sand Plague, or if he will allow Big Vlad to march in there and accept the penance for the pain he had inflicted on the Kin inside. Alternatively, he is also capable of not sending either Olgimskys to their death.
The surviving Olgimsky will live in the main hall of the Lump after the decision is made. Big Vlad will be found in Capella's wing of the Lump in mourning after Vlad the Younger's death, while Vlad the Younger will silently be at work in his father's former study after his father's death. Should both survive, they will both be in the main office. |

On Day 4 and 8 the inhabitants of the Lump will be in danger of becoming infected with Sand Pest .

The Lump is across the river in the condemned part of Town. It is noted that Big Vlad is possibly alive, but he is nowhere to be found in either the Bridge Square or the Atrium. Capella's wing does not show her portrait as Capella's icon appears instead over the Nutshell (in the absence of Khan).

Notes
- In the original translation of Pathologic, the Lump was referred to as the Clot.
- There is a bug in Pathologic 2, regarding Vlad Jr if he survives his encounter with the Kin. While he will be present in the Lump for the remainder of the game, he is still counted as living in the Dilapidated House, and will be endangered when the Plague travels through the Maw.
- The buzzing of flies can sometimes be heard in the soundtrack while within The Lump: Olgimsky's Seat in Pathologic 2.
