You select the choice that says “Rat Root”. The magical barrier shuts down and you see a reed-like plant. Yours is about 30 centimetres high, but you know it can grow up to one metre. You can smell the leaves from where you are and you know that if you were to taste them, they’d be bitter.
Rat root is an abortifacient and should therefore not be administered to pregnant women. It is also toxic, so even though its powdered rhizomes can be used as a substitute for ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg, you remember that it is not recommended to ingest it in high dose or over long periods of time.
However like the riddle hinted, even if the Rat Root is toxic, it can still be used for healing purposes. You know that on top of what was already mentioned, Rat Root can clear a cough, relieve the strain on one’s voice, help people after a stroke and be used in digestive potions, as a mild tonic and to calm people’s nervousness.
The display on the Rat Root says that everything is good, so it can be concluded that the soil is moist and has enough sunlight. You notice that the soils looks more like a marsh would and considering that Rat Root is a water plant, it makes sense to you.
You move on to the next display and look at the riddle only to realize that it is another warning:
“I’m purple and I like to bounce, but if I don’t like you, I will aim for your face.”
