Botanical Beaker Room


The room depicted in the following picture contains three items that can be examined:

Order
When examined, the Beheaded reads the following text written by an unknown person (presumably some sort of guard):

"Apparently seeing the dead rise wasn't enough."

"Today it's the plants that are up and raising hell."

"The King's new best friend has ordered one of them captured... Alive..."

"...I'd like to see that!"

Botanical Beaker
When examined, the Beheaded exclaims:

How did they get the skeleton in the bottle?

Books
When examined, the Beheaded observes that:

"Man vs Wild" and other botanical treatises are spread out on the ground.

I wonder what's in this flask...

Trunk
Upon examination the Beheaded exclaims:

It seems like these infected ones were trapped in the trunk...

Makes you wonder who was the sick one in this story...

Skull
Upon examination the Beheaded observes that:

The skull of a giant crow mixed in with various bits of mushed and mashed organs, entrails and local roots...

...connected to the bark of an old red giant tree.

The perfect evil wizard starter kit...

Luxurious chaise longue
Upon examination the Beheaded exclaims:

Varnished wood... satin pillows...

A bunch of leather bound books...

I wonder which noble had their personal garden here.

Chaise longue
Upon examination the Beheaded exclaims:

Gloves, a pitchfork... Maybe a courtier tried their hand at gardening?

No, you wouldn't find one that would sit on such a shabby piece of furniture.

Or wear this outfit.

It seems the gardener had his entrances into the palace too.
