Room 11: Enchanted Grove
This is a dangerous forest grove in King's Quest IV where sentient trees lurk, ready to grab unwary travelers. The room features multiple animated trees (views 692 and 693) positioned throughout the grove that can capture Rosella when she wanders too close to their reaching branches. The room serves as a hazard area with tree-grabbing traps triggered by walking on specific control areas. It connects to other forest areas in multiple directions.
Look Description
"This place gives you the willies! The trees around here are very strange; almost human-like. A dense forest surrounds this odd grove of trees."

Scripts
| Status | Behavior Type | Name | Trigger | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TODO | Interaction | grabbed | Player touches control areas (bitmasks $0002, $0004, $0008, $0010, $0020, $0040, $0200, $0400, $0800, $1000, $2000) anywhere in the room | Stops walking music, plays caught music, animates a tree grabbing the ego (using newProp based on control area), displays random tree-themed death message (wooden/limb/leaf/sap/root puns), sets global127=1 (game over state). Multiple control areas correspond to different tree props that grab the player. |
| TODO | Background | treeAnimation | Continuous when room loaded | Trees (newProp 1-11) are static props with cycleSpeed=1 but stopUpd called, except animated elements (newProp_2 through newProp_6) have setCycle:Fwd for continuous animation |
