Wizard of Wines

Wizard of Wines is a winery and vineyard in the northwest of Barovia. It is owned and operated by Davian Martikov, Urwin Martikov's father.

The soil in Barovia is not suitable for producing wine-quality grapes, so the Wizard of the Wines has relied on three magical gemstones that aid in the cultivation of the the grapes responsible for each of the three wines the winery produces. In order of quality and desirability, the three vintages are Purple Grapemash, Red Dragon Crush, and Champagne du le Stomp.

One of the gemstones, the one responsible for the winery's most prize vintage, was stolen a decade ago. Another has been stolen recently. As such, the winery has had difficulty with production.

Most recently, their shipments to the Blue Water Inn have ceased entirely. Urwin is concerned about the fate of his father and their business and has insinuated that both of our interests could be furthered by paying them a visit.

According to Kasimir, one of the stones is currently being used to power a monster that guards Tsolenka Pass.

Current Events
The party traveled to the winery to investigate the happenings there. On the way, they encountered and destroyed an enormous tree blight and several smaller blights it had in tow. Upon arriving at the winery and meeting Davian Martikov, they learned that the blights had been sent by the druids of Yesterhill to destroy the winery, and that the grounds had been taken over by the druids and their blight minions. The party cleared the winery and destroyed the druids.

The party was able to return one of the gemstones to the Martikovs after defeating the tree blight. One is still in Baba Lysaga's clutches, while the location of the third remains unknown.
