Helga's, Dining Hall

Directions: north from Barroom

[Helga's, Dining Hall] Room: 4103
Tinted glass oil lamps hang from iron sconces, casting a dim glow over the smoke-stained walls of the low-ceilinged room. Several tables and an oaken sideboard, bearing traces of the previous day's meals, are flanked by a long wooden bench and a few smaller chairs. A leaded glass window, its dusty panes half-covered by filmy curtains, looks out on the dark street, and a brick hearth smolders against the north wall.
Obvious exits: south

Helga's, Pub Room

Directions: west from Barroom

[Helga's, Pub Room] Room: 4102
The narrow, dimly lit room is cluttered with rickety, ale-stained tables and chairs. Candle stubs mounted in earthenware ale flasks offer the only light, their yellowish glow making the room seem more decrepit than it actually is. Several dockworkers converse around a table in hushed voices, between sips of grog and puffs of strong pipe tobacco. A low wooden stage, no more than a small platform, stands at the far end of the room. You also see the Kleptune disk, the Ludge disk and the Wardex disk.
Obvious exits: east

Helga's, Kitchen

Directions: through the entrance from Barroom

[Helga's, Kitchen] Room: 4104
Puffs of foul-smelling steam rise from a pot of simmering, scum-covered liquid resting atop an ancient cast-iron stove, condensing on the formerly whitewashed walls to form dripping, greasy smears. A stained wooden counter stands along one wall, a row of iron hooks hanging above it, and a heap of filthy rags and aprons in the corner occasionally twitches with the explorations of hungry vermin. You also see an oaken door and the kitchen entrance.

Helga's, Back Alley

Directions: through the door from Kitchen

[Helga's, Back Alley] Room: 4105
The narrow alley, shaded by the overhanging eaves of the stone and wood buildings that rise on all sides, is full of debris, piles of rags and filth. A broken wooden chair, an old crate and a trash barrel are piled to either side of the smoke-stained oaken door that leads into the back of the building to the south.
