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.
Ugh, where did I put that explosive vial.  It's always in the most inconvenient of places! What's it used for? I'll help you look.  Oh - you're here!  I thought I had more time.  Do watch your step, some of these items are as likely to turn you into a squirrel as grow your hair to ridiculous lengths. Oh my! I'll be careful. We're drawing up a battle strategy for the king. Do you think you can help? I knew it wouldn't be just a friendly visit.  It's always Merlin fix this, and Merlin we need help with that dragon.  Always something to pull the kingdom out of the fire! Aww, c'mon now. You know you love to help.  Oof - be careful sneaking up like that!  Lot of assassins about and I get a bit jumpy.  I'd hate to turn you into a gnat by reflex. My apologies, Merlin Hm.  Yes.  Well it's alright, man, no need to look so chastened.  Now what's the new dire emergency that can't wait? A group on villains are plotting to invade and overthrow the king.  Oh?  Just mortal men?  No demons or evil witches or even a zombie or two to keep things interesting? Nope. Mere mortals, Merlin. I'm sure you're overqualified, but we could really use your help. Here's what we've got so far.
