How I imagine what Vinifera been up to since last adventure...
Ever since defeating and Feylamia with the Silver Lantern, he has returned to what's left of Aumund. Despite being a ghost town falling into ruin he still wanted to make something of it.
He chose an old tower (maybe an old watchtower or a clocktower) into a place where the Silver Lantern can be kept safe. Sheltered from the weather but open to the light of the night sky, the silver lantern can gather plenty of moonlight throughout the year and Vinifera can bring it down whenever he needs it to fight dark creatures. But in it's tower it shines like a beacon to warn threats the town is protected.
Other than guardian of the lantern, Vinifera is trying to get his family business up and running again to be like how it was in his youth. With his parents talking about the quality of grapes and vines and helping them out on the vineyard with the other workers and living happy easy life.
Whenever orcs from Thunata has offered to help him, he gladly welcomes them. And as promised, Nazum has a home in Aumond as well (that is if he chose to stay in Aumond or not). But most of the time he takes on most of the work himself and struggling to ressurect his family heritage, prefusing to let go of the past.

>>19107>clocktowerElves don't have clocks (which are generally extremely rare). So a watch tower.
Vinifera could hear the sound of a horse in the distance, slowly approaching. A tall figure set upon it, a human wearing the insignia of the Beilunk Riders, the continent's best and trusties (and most expensive) messenger service.

He looks up to the watchtower which currently had the Silver Moon Lantern. If that worked agains the Feylamia then it might work against whatever it was that troubled Riva... then again may risk being stolen or lost on the journey. However he still had the silver dagger which was made by the same enchanted elven silver as the lantern itself.
"I should concentrate on helping the farm but these people... may need our help."
He turns to the rider.
"If you need to return with an answer, would you like to stay for awhile while I consult my partner on this? You and your horse can rest and..."
He didn't have much to offer to drink given it would be awhile before any of these grapes are ready to be made into wine.

He showed the rider to the winery kitchen where he could help himself to bread and water.

Then again from the other decaying and overgrown buildings in what's left of this ghost town it was a wonder why an elf would want to try and start up an old winery here of all places.

Recap:
Evil is afoot near the harbor town of Riva.
- Caravans have been ambushed and robbed (by orcs and supposedly by demons).
- People have gone missing who live outside of town.
- Supposed sightings of chimeras.
The local academy of magic has asked you to assist and find out what is going on.
During your investigations you were helped by the local tracker Boronian who also helped the academy earlier.
He has found tracks of goats that lead into the swamp.
You also met an elf girl named Lauriel who was looking for her friend Navahon. He seems to have been kidnapped near the town and was dragged into the swamp as well.
When we stopped, Lauriel and Vinifera were heading back to town to meet up with Nazom and Boronian.

While the plan was for the dogs to distract his opponent, he hoped that in doing so he would fight the orcs that the dogs were distracting before the orcs would harm the dogs. Now he was the one in harms way.
Given the floor is rather muddy (was it?) he attempts to sling mud in the orcs face so that he could have time to grab his sword.

>>20073The ointment seems to enhance the bandage's healing proportions as the dog is wrapped up properly. He seems to feel much better.
1d6 + 1 = 5>>20072Nazom searches the orc bodies. He finds the scimitars they were using, they cannot hold up with your own weapons.
One orc has a big double-bitted key on him.
Another has a flask with a strong smelling liquid in it. It could have healing proportions despite the scent.

1d20 = 3 copper coins.
