For the sake of stuff, I'd say it was recent. Also it was out past the forests and into the Gnollish Plains.

Aramil is an Elf Ranger you occasionally see during the hunts in the forest. Nice guy, nice guy. He generally uses a bow and hatchet. 

And Benjamin is simply doing tasks! 

He isn't kidnapped/turned evil/something that breaks Corinne's heart JUST YET.
