The room is incredibly messy, with many opened books and glass decanters littered across the room. Bright and glowing liquids sit inside bottles and jars and many animal test subjects are caged up. The room is seems to be very dangerous and filled with weird experiments.

I am the wizard whose spells and enchantments keep this kingdom from tottering and falling off a cliff. Every day I must use my powers over the forces of evil to keep them from wreaking havoc. I am also head of the college of wizards, so, as you might imagine, I have very little free time to pursue my hobby of embroidery.
Oh drat it all. This place is horrid. How can I be expected to keep things afloat around here with such maddening clutter? Do you not have a spell that will clean it up?   A waste of my talents. The king has servants who's job it is to attend to such menial tasks. I'm a wizard, not a maid. I can help by eating that maggots and flies, but alas, I cannot help you with your books. Yes. That seems appropriate. Make no mistake, friend. My displeasure is not directed towards you. Merely the indignity of it all. Always more work to do and so little time for the things I truly enjoy. That I truly understand!  This will work out well, as I haven't found any good bugs to eat lately... the maid of the castle has been cleaning everything with soap.  No dinner for me! Hmm. On second thought perhaps its best the maid not make her way here. Would probably just make an even bigger mess of things. Say have you happened to see my embroidery needles? I think I saw some under the books that are holding the flasks above the fire... perhaps not the safest set up! Yes, quite. Unfortunate castle fires are bad for the realm. Well, if you find time perhaps you could retrieve them for me. I must return to my research. The forces of evil never rest and nor shall I. Now where did I put Melvin's Monstrous Ecologies Volume II... much more useful than the first volume, don't you know.  Second volumes always are... have you looked under your footstool? I believe I saw it holding up the one corner as I came in... Ah! Yes! How foolish of me. Such a priceless tome should never be used to prop up furniture. You know I've thought about having one of my apprentices mend my stool with a mending spell... A very simple spell, if you're unaware. I could fix it myself..... Ahh. But then the younglings would have no need to practice their cantrips. Brilliant idea.... Oh... I see you have some cockroaches over here... May I eat them?
