The Helm and Cloak inn can be found in the northwest district of Baldur's Gate, on the southeast part of the area. Degrodel's Home is to the west, Quinn's Home is to the northeast, and Laerta and Louise's Home is located directly north above the inn.
It's a luxurious inn that provides drink and beds for their patrons. The name originates from the fact that the Helm of Balduran is hidden somewhere in the inn. The Band of Merry Fools can be found inside. After talking to them, the group called the Maulers of Undermountain moves in and will attack the party, after demanding they clear the way (this will happen regardless of which conversation response the player chooses.)
The locked chest in the kitchen contains 450gp, a Black Opal, and a Garnet Gem. There is a "special guest" in the rooms upstairs (front steps), being guarded by two guards that block the way and will not let you past. If the player kills the guards, or gets past by some other means, the guest turns out to be Sarah, an emissary from Amn sent to ease tensions between Amn and Baldur's Gate. There is a locked chest in the room which contains 195 gold pieces and an Angel Skin Ring.
The back set of stairs leads to an office/apartment for the owner, where the Helm of Balduran is hidden behind a painting, in a trapped and locked wall safe.
Services[]
The party can either rest here or have some drinks (ranging from 1gp to 20gp) and hear some gossip, rumors and news. All four qualities of rooms can be rented.
Trivia[]
The name of the tavern, Helm and Cloak, alludes to two of Balduran's relics - his helm and his cloak. Fittingly, the helm is hidden inside the building.
