Problem Area #5: Person In Distress At The Herb Garden

West of Fox Hollow, on a normally tranquil path through the forest, is a kidnapped armorer, held in the herb garden that a trio of bandits have attempted to raze. When you’re done beating them to death, you rescue the armorer, who’s most thankful, and asks if you’ll accompany him back to Vermentino. Oblige, as you automatically arrive back at the Winery, and can purchase from him as he becomes a new merchant. In addition, you can mention that bandits aren’t his only problem.
