What do you examine first?
The bookshelf
The bookshelf is a simple thing- wooden, only one shelf, and with only three books. You can make out parts of two of the three titles- the leftmost, small and green, has something to do with "Survival" and "Plants." In the middle is a moderately sized red book, reads "Dangerous Creatures and" before cutting off. The final volume is large, brown, and bound in leather, with no discernible words on the side. An ornate pattern of metal diamonds adorns the ends of the spine. Strangely, the bookshelf seems to be more knotted and rotten on one half than the other, as the right side almost looks ready to collapse at a single touch, and the grass directly underneath is withered and brown.
