How can I escape Lafond's clutches? I'm in his room, helpless and terrified.

  1. DRINK THE WINE whenever Lafond tells you to.
  2. Make sure there's nothing in the wine you drink, however.
  3. Ever hear the ditty, "The pellet of the poison's in the chalice from the palace,/ The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true"?
  4. POUR WINE INTO THE GREEN GOBLET. Then put something else into it.

If you type YES to his question (If the green goblet is his?) then he'll assume you poisoned that glass, since you want him to drink from it.
