A Wine to Die For

While passing through your lands, your forces are approached by a wine merchant, a middle-aged lady calling herself Marlene. Although she appears somewhat aged, it is clear that there's a youthful vigour about her, perhaps beyond what might be expected. In fact, such curiosity is soon confirmed as she offers to sell some of what she calls her "Dreamwine" for a very reasonable price, explaining that drinking it brings good health, long life and a youthful appearance. A small amount of coin is exchanged for the dark, syrupy vintage and she soon leaves, heading in the direction of the nearby vineyard...
