[Helga's Tavern, Barroom]
You elbow your way into one of the open spaces along the bar. The countertop
of oft-polished modwir wood bears pits and stains from years of use. Helga,
the ancient, obese proprietor, is stationed behind the bar, absentmindedly
wiping a glass with a dirty towel. Dressed in a drab brown smock, she seems
as permanent a fixture here as the dark-toned panelling and the dingy counter.
A small fireplace in one corner burns feebly, adding little light or warmth
to the room. You also see the bartender Helga, a town guard, a badly damaged
fel chest, a badly damaged gold chest, a plain iron trunk, a badly damaged
gold box, an enruned iron trunk, a scratched iron chest, some basal moss,
an engraved wooden strongbox, a large sign, a set of swinging doors that
serve as the only exit and a dark doorway that glows slightly.
Obvious exits: south.
Here's a tour of Helga's.
[Helga's Tavern, Game Room]
Your eyes adjust to the murky, candlelit interior of this almost bare
room. As they do, you realize this is no ordinary recreation room. The
focus of attention appears to be on a gleaming pair of black mein dice
with white pips, suspended in mid-air by some magical means. You also see
a dark doorway and a 12-sided craps card.
Obvious exits: none.
Here's the secret of gettin out ::giggle:: go d door this will take
you back to the barroom.
[Helga's Tavern, Dark Corner]
This corner of the room is occupied by two rickety tables and some
short benches. Candle stubs mounted in earthenware ale flasks offer the
only light in this windowless nook. Seated at a square table, several dockworkers
converse in uncharacteristically hushed voices, between sips of grog and
puffs of strong pipe tobacco. They take no notice of you or anyone else
around them. You also see a round table with a bud vase on it.
Obvious exits: north.
Read the sign and you'll see what Helga has in stock.

"Helga"
The pyrothag is a huge creature, towering over the tallest
of giantmen. Scorched black by the heat of its environment, its thick skin
protects it from blows and the hostile lava flows. The most striking thing
aside from its size, is the lack of facial features. Smooth face matching
its smooth black skin leaves you wondering how such a thing have evolved.
This is to give you a idea of what Helga can be like if she is crossed.
