Human: Create a description of a mysterious scene inside a workshop with flasks, steps, tongs, granite workbench, and tools. Assistant: 
Intricately carved wooden screens provide some privacy for this spartan workspace. A polished granite workbench, positioned near a narrow slit window in the curving stone wall to the north, holds neatly arrayed flasks, tongs, and other tools of the alchemical trade. Stone steps lead upwards to a small platform to the northeast, in the center of the room.
