Room 50: Ogress's Kitchen

This is the interior of the ogress's kitchen cottage. The room contains a carving table, a stove with a cooking pot, a window looking out to the forest, and an ogress NPC who patrols the area. A deer is being cooked in a caldron. The player must be careful not to attract the ogress's attention or get too close, or they will be chased and caught. The room connects to the forest to the west.
