"Hey! No slaughtering in my stall."
She thinks.
"There is no point trying to find a cleric to help you, even here, none will want to go against divine will. I seriously doubt any of the other God's will either. As far as I can see you have two options. One, find the goddess and find out what you need to do to make things right (under her breath 'possibly stop being a hotheaded pillock.'). Two find someone in this market who:
a : can change your appearance
And
b : doesn't decide the reward, which is more than they could earn in ten years, is better.
And then run away and live as a serf in some far off land."
She pauses.
"Or three, surrender and rot in a cell for the next thousand years, your choice."

Admittedly, I could probably concoct a serum that could change ones appearance, but the research is still shaky.
I could create a potion now but with.... Unpredictable effects.
Or I could make one that would more likely work.... If you have 5 years of spare time on your hands.
I'm an esteemed wizard, artificer, and apothecary in my realm but that is certainly advanced work.
I'm always down to take on new test subjec... Er.... I mean... 'apprentices' though, if you're up for a little gambling.
heh heh

Hey, my hearing is entirely curse-unaffected! Unless you are secretly a laughing minor or something.

*pops cork on RAT TRANSFORMATION POTION*
I’m debating between one and two. One the one hand, eternal damnation. On the other, I reeeeally don’t want to give that goddess what she wants because I didn’t deserve that and I’m innocent. Can I really call myself principled if my principles disappear as soon as I have to suffer for them?

I already tried apprenticing to learn potion-making. Saying it didn’t end well would be putting it lightly.

I'm not surprised. My last um.... apprentice (the poor fellow) found my transformative 'practice potion' to be less than agreeable with his... Organs.

In my defense, I told him to stay out of my lab and the sod thought it was some kind of fizzy drink. Quite fascinating research on the after effects though.

My poor experience occurred when my so called “teacher” was lying to me about teaching me the entire time just so I’d spend more time as a rat and do him favors. But that sounds pretty nasty too.

Very well, my reptilian-in-training. How do you fare on this day?

Oh my...
My practices might not always be perfect but honesty is never lacking. Some wizards these days have zero integrity, I swear.

Oh, terribly sorry. An error on my part.
Speaking of alchemy... How did that poor eevee fellow (My... Nephew?) manage to die? I am very well versed in healing serum and I recall leaving two with @Universe before I departed mid-battle

Not an error in the slightest, I hadn’t mentioned his profession.
He was... too long gone. Twasn’t your healing potion’s fault, I assure you.

Why is everyone following me?

My apologies, but ever since I blew all my money on magic books to utterly destroy one of my foes in a duel, I’ve found myself light on funds. And I have no idea when I’ll need my cash to bribe somebody, seeing as I’m on the run now. And the only potion I have for trade is the easily-acquired RAT TRANSFORMATION POTION, soooo... thanks for the offer.

Oh nonsense! All I require is a teensy little lock of your fur. :)

As I've said before, integrity is important to me and my practice. So with all honesty my answer is, I don't know yet.
Hair, fingernails or teeth given willingly are such powerful spell components I can't resist the urge to make a bargain, you see.

*ponders*
*ponders longer*

I fear that a spell made with components of me might be particularly effective against me, so until I know what you hope to do, I must decline with my apologies.

Hm, fair enough. My offer still stands if needed in the future.
Besides, I hadn't the chance to tell you the invisibility potion does have a small side effect you should consider.
It will make you invisible for 6 hours, BUT you will also sprout painful boils that will take another 6 hours to go away after the invisibility wears off.

[since threads are slower than IRL I'm gonna say in IRL time that's 12 hours]

Ouch. I can assume that would be worth it in a pinch (which I may very well be in), but not desireab—
Are boils considered a status effect?

(Time is meaningless, it’s whatever you need it to be lol)
