Wouldn't slowed alchemists have a movement speed of 1? That doesn't seem enough to get them within shooting range. To counter the slow, I can imagine waiting on the 1st turn, letting the turtle cast slow, and having your hero cast haste afterwards.

Also, the turtle seems to have the no retaliation ability.
