The alchemists lab is a hidden, mysterious chamber at the top of the tower. There are all sorts of beakers and potions laid out on wooden tables. Smoke and light emanate from the experiments. A large shelf holds jars of strange ingredients, and in the center of the room there is some sort of huge vat of brewing liquid, bubbling and steaming.

a turtle in a cage filled with grapes
I am a turtle. I live in this cage now. I don't know why I'm in this cage, but at least it is full of grapes.
I just sit here and eat my grapes and hope they don't decide to use me in there potions  andstuff I mean...I don't mean to frighten you, but isn't the fact that you're able to speak evidence that you've already at least been experimented on? It's only a matter of time before they escalate to things like vivisection, man! Let's get you out of here wait, oh no you are right I must escape  lets go In order for you to escape, you have to make a sacrifice of some kind. For instance, we might be able to squeeze you through the bars of the cage, but you would have to be okay with using a potion to shrink your size. That's kind of like my situation actually, avoiding extreme taxation by not living up to my full potential maybe we can use this to ben the bars wider or maybe you can find the key No, no. As I mentioned, there has to be a sacrifice in anything worth having. For instance, you could trade places with the mouse. You would be free, however, your friend would live a life of experimentation. Kind of like my situation, I can report my neighbors for not paying their taxes and get in the good graces of the noblemen. Sacrifice well the mouse always makes fun of me I think its time for him to switch Perfect. So, now that he is knocked out, we need to transform him to look just like you. For that I will need some of your blood. This might hurt. (As a side note, if working the fields doesn't work out, I think I would make a great alchemist!) haha ok here you go So now, we just pour some of your blood and the mouse's blood into the vat. We'll have the mouse drink the Potion. It has to be diluted with his own blood so his body doesn't reject it. ok lets mix up Dude, I didn't even realize this was an option until I picked up the vat....what if...hear me out...what if we PUT THE MOUSE IN THE VAT. Yeah I almost made an amateur move before. Drinking that liquid wouldn't transform the mouse. He has to be IMMERSED.
