Inn, friendly
Agusta and Valent’s establishment is not fancy, but offers a homey atmosphere that most travellers find more pleasant than the cheerless Old-Man and Scythe. In addition, prices are reasonable and the quality of food and drink is good.

If it is daytime, the shutters will be flung wide and sunlight streams into the room from a number of large windows. At night, a fireplace gives the room a cheerful atmosphere. During business hours, 2-8 customers will be here, enjoying a drink or five at the large table in the centre of the room. (There is a 25% chance that one of the customers will be a spy for the cult from one of the outlying farms, however.)
Conversations here are cheerful, and occasionally rowdy or ribald, but Augusta will not tolerate outright vulgarity. If wine is ordered by a newcomer, Valent will break out his homemade special and the first glass will be on the house. It is of exceptional quality, and there is an 80% chance that each character will find it to be the best he or she has tasted.

The kitchen is just to the right as one enters from the common room. It is a neat, well-ordered cooking area, and Agusta rules here with an iron mitten. Anyone venturing here is likely to be put to work washing dishes, peeling potatoes, or the like. Three ovens heat the room well, and the owners usually eat at the small table in the centre.
Beyond the kitchen is a parlour or sitting room with several comfortable chairs, a large fireplace, and a solid wooden table.

The structure is simple, but clean.

This room contains a bed, a storage chest, a table, and four chairs. A rough rug covers the centre of the floor.

This is Valent's pride and joy. Fermenting here are some of the finest grapes grown for many leagues, slowly turning into both red and white wines of excellent quality. The outer room is a small office with a desk and many records of different batches of wines, ranging back for nearly 40 years. The large inner room has huge vats of grapes in various stages of fermentation; two large clay jars, stoppered, at the west end; and two dozen casks of wine stacked against the north wall. In the centre of the room is a huge bin full of fresh grapes.
