I walk into the room and see the skeleton of the person and the items in the room. I will not touch anything in the room but will let my eyes and mind work together to possibly figure out what occurred here and look for any items that may be useful.

You do not hear any reply to your calling out to George. Looking about it is not hard to see that this was a magicians laboratory. Many of the item are skeletons of interesting beasts and even a few preserved beasts. One of the jars looks to have a small female in it. Looks like she is sleeping. There are books and tomes scattered about as well as some items, potions, and a few chests.

“Well, I have absolutely no clue what any of this does. Experts, to the front!” I look with interest at all the paraphernalia, but I refrain from touching.

You would have to open stuff to get to the good stuff whether a case, trunk, chest, wardrobe, drawer or lid.

Setting the books to the side for now, I will ask the apparently magic sighted elf to point out any distinct sources of magic in the room so we can separate it from the rest.

I'll be cautious in opening containers, using twine and sticks to do so from as much of a distance as is practical.

While we're at it, I'll keep an eye out for any large cloths or pieces of canvas that could be used for a makeshift burial shroud.

Out of Character: I'd have made a point of getting an overview on the alphabets of any languages available in the library, so I have at least a shot at identifying them in the field. Any luck there?

She sweeps her arm all around the room. This whole room is filled with magic. The only thing I do not detect any magic on is the skeleton of the non human. The skeleton is not a dwarf or a elf either. I am not sure of race of the skeleton.
