Sheltered Cottage

The Sheltered Cottage (Tinker's Hovel) is a structure in The Fields of Misery of Act I. It's in the northern part of the zone, and always in a appears in that location.

When you enter the area in front of it, it will either be the Tinker's Hovel, the Pillaged Home or an inaccessible house. If it's the Tinker's Hovel it will have the Wandering Tinker merchant inside and if it's the Pillaged Home it will be littered with corpses.
