Tann, sorry to hear that, mate! Hope you feel better soon! 
Nomad, quick question: Is Thäoran in the tavern with the others, or is he out shopping?

Read your post in the roleplay thread. Bit confused as to what Legion is doing. Nomad wants to leave the Wyverling to eat the orcs and try and get the attention of the mysterious figure stalking you. What about you?

Topic: Fire & Shadow RPG
Subject: A Mysterious Stalker
The driver flicked the reins and the large boar lumbered into the thick undergrowth, which obscured most of the narrow game trail. Azax, Legion and Erundak followed as quietly as they could, glad that they now had an escort to guide them to the orc stronghold, however unwitting the escort may be.
Several hours elapsed as the party trailed behind the caravan, the miles steadily melting away and their destination coming ever closer. The companions thought they would now be able to get to the stronghold in good time, but fate, it seemed, had other ideas.
There was a soft rustle of leaves about fifty yards behind the party and you all turned your heads in the direction of the disturbance, concerned that you were being pursued by orcs, goblins, bandits-or something even more dangerous that lurked in the gloom of these ominous and uninviting woods.
The silhouette of a figure swiftly raced out from behind a gnarled oak and took refuge behind another oak not far from the first. Azax immediately recognised the figures movements: they had the same fluidity, swiftness and grace as the figure he had spotted twice before when he had been hunting. Movements too fast and lithe for that of a mere mortal. It was magic.
Suddenly, a piercing roaring screech shattered the stillness of the woods and the party spun to face the new threat. The driver upon the caravan yelled gutteral orders to his fellow orcs and there was an explosion of movement as they hurried-albeit in a panicked way-to carry them out. The terrible screech rang forth again and a harsh, forceful wind caused the surrounding trees to creak and groan with its power, the undergrowth flattened. An orc screamed as he was snatched up in the beasts' claws and tossed into the branches of a tree, breaking his back as he collided with a branch. Another orc soon followed his friend into the void as he too was grasped in those deadly talons and when he was dropped, his head was detached from his shoulders. The party looked up to see a serpent-like creature with two muscular hind legs, but no front legs, perched upon a branch like a monsterous bird of prey, its batlike wings flapping to help keep its balance as it continued its assault. It was busily devouring the unfortunate orc's head, the wet crunching just audible over the woosh of the beast's wings. Blood oozed down its spiked jaw.
'It's a wyverling!' Erundak exclaimed sharply. 'I had hoped this route would be devoid of these beasts for they usually nest further south, but it seems this one has chosen to hunt further than usual. They aren't the most intelligent of creatures and consider anything smaller than itself as a potential meal. I don't think it's seen us, yet. It appears distracted by the orc feast it has stumbled upon. What shall we do? We could use a guide to the stronghold, which is swiftly being devoured by that wyverling. Should we assist the orcs in slaying the beast? We would risk exposure if we do, however. Or shall we find another way?' Just as the lizardfolk had uttered the last word, the leaves behind them rustled again. Whoever-or whater-it was was still there, watching them keenly.
The party had yet another decision to make: assist the orcs, or try to find out who their mysterious stalker was.

Er...I'm curious about that farm that's been attacked that's close to Ludensheim (the one that's shocked the townies because it's so close to town). Wonder who would be bold enough to do that?
Or those ogres/hill giants and missing cows and sheep are also interesting. Could be a fun challenge fighting ogres/hill giants.
Anyway, I'll leave it up to you guys.

Er...I haven't been keeping track of Thäoran's money lol. Oops. Anyway, if I have enough, I'd like to buy 2 potions of healing, 1 Arrow of the Net and 2 Lightning Arrows.

Thäoran's thin lips spread into a contented and joyful smile as the elf watched the young twins reunite with their family. It had been a long and arduous journey, but at last they had achieved their quest, making Botkinburg and its surrounding woods safer once again. Maybe-just maybe-if the party continued like this, they could, in some small way, assist in resisting whatever darkness was looming on the horizon. Thäoran didn't know what would happen in the future, but the young elf was determined to face whatever comes his way with courage and perhaps one day he'll finally find who he had set out on this quest for, the one he wished to make proud of him: his beloved father.
I am coming, Father, he thought as his emerald eyes gazed at the distant mountains. No matter how long it takes, we will see each other once more.
The Eldritch Knight turned to his fellow travellers. 'I think the most logical step is to traverse to the next town,' he suggested. 'It seems the best place to gather information and perhaps find other people in need of help. What say you?'
((OOC: Thäoran hasn't heard that Ludensheim is the next town after Botkinburg. He's just suggesting we go to whichever town is closest. Which, I assume, is Ludensheim))

Will there be any shops or a market or something in Ludensheim? I'd like to buy more potions of healing. I only have one.
Oh, and can an Eldritch Knight use different kinds of arrows other than the normal ones? Like explosive arrows and such. If so, and if there's an archery shop in Ludensheim, I'd like to buy some different arrows too.

Tom's not been as active on Facebook, either. So he could be busy.
I did want to go to Dragon Rock (as I call it) to try and find a dragon familliar, but maybe Ludensheim is the most logical choice.

Not looking to pick a fight with a dragon. I'm looking for a small dragon to befriend and become my companion/familiar.
But we're going to whichever place gets the most votes anyway.

What do you guys think of the name The Golden Order for the surface elf Dragon Riders? If you can think of a name yourself, please post it.
And what about Chromatic Claw for the drow Dragon Riders?

Subject: Forging Onward, Another Encounter...
The conversation of the bandits slowly faded into silence as they moved deeper into Wyverling Woods and out of earshot, ignorant of the three companions that were hiding in the foliage nearby. The party was relieved to see them go as they knew the less battles they engaged in, the quicker they could find the antidote and save the princess.
Once they were sure the group of bandits had really gone, the party urged their mounts on and continued on down the almost non-existent game trail, Erundak once again resuming the lead with his pixiedust lantern, whIch emitted a soft radiance on their surroundings. When the party had travelled for a few hours, the Lizardfolk held up a scaley hand to halt the rest of the party.
'That tree...,' he whispered softly, pointing to an ancient, gnarled oak tree with blackened bark as though it had been scorched with intense heat long ago. It stood alone in the centre of a large clearing-one of only a few clearings Azax and Legion had seen during their time in these woods as the foliage engulfed most of the area which made the woods almost bereft of clearings. 'It is a popular trading post for those we do not wish to deal with. The orcs, goblins and other unscrupulous fiends believe that the dark tales surrounding it is enough to keep superstitious people away, thus alowing them to trade in peace. We must be careful we do not encounter any of the fiends while we are unprepared.'
No sooner were those words uttered than a crudely built caravan rolled into view. It was assembled with unsmoothed wood and black, tattered canvas peppered with small holes and pulled by a large boar with tusks longer than a spear and at least as deadly. The beast had a compact, muscular torso and stout legs. Its mean, beady eyes seemed to glow red like coals on a campfire. The driver of the caravan, an impatient looking orc, tugged the reins and the boar grunted before coming to a halt. He dismounted the driver's seat and waited on the ground, casting his head about as if searching for something-or someone.
'Where are they?' He snapped in orcish to his companions, three fellow orcs who had just exited the rear of the caravan. 'The note said they would be waiting for us. That they were already almost here by the time we set off. Utvek-scout around and see if you can see any signs of them. I want this trade over as quickly as possible. This place makes me uncomfortable.'
Utvek gave a short grunt, reminiscent of the boar, and went to follow the driver's order, peering into the foliage at the edge of the clearing. The party shrank back into the shadows and Erundak softly uttered a spell that dimmed the pixiedust's glow until it was gone entirely, but the orc was getting ever closer and the fear of discovery increased until, with the orc a mere three feet away, a sudden series of rustles could be heard from the the East side of the clearing as the plants were disturbed. All the orcs' heads swivelled sharply in that direction as four more orcs and six goblins emerged on another bedraggled caravan
'You're late. Where have you been?,' the driver of the first caravan demanded irritably.
'Slight change of plans,' one of the orcs from the second caravan replied, carrying a long, thin something wrapped in a tattered cloth. 'You-Know-Who's knights had new orders for us, directly from You-Know-Who himself. He wants us to move his precious item to our stronghold tonight.'
'Tonight?' The first orc grunted in surprise. 'Why the sudden rush?'
'The knights said that You-Know-Who has been forced to accelerate his plans because THEY'RE getting suspicious.'
'Who?'
'You know...THEM,' the second orc emphasised the final word as if attempting to make the first orc realise who he was talking about without actually saying it, but the first orc still looked nonplussed. The second orc rolled his piggish eyes at his companion's slowness. He leaned closer and whispered something in his ear which the party couldn't make out.
'Oh, right,' the first orc nodded. 'That's going to mean things will be getting tougher for us then, eh?' He sighed. All the orcs grumbled discontentedly.
'Anyway,' the second orc continued, 'that's for later. For now, have I got a treat for you.' He took hold of one end of the ragged cloth covering the object in his arms and with a flourish pulled it off to reveal a beautiful, ornate blade, a sword sheathed in a scabbard wrought with gold filligree. When the orc tilted it, the party could make out, by the flickering light of an orc's torch, a dragon in the same gold filligree upon the scabbard, clasping a ruby in its front claws, with tiny rubies for eyes. The sheath of the blade was a bright gold, with the crossguard being forged into two dragons facing each other, their serpentine bodies stretched out to form the crossguard. The handle was wrapped in fine but strong brown leather, the pommel mounted with another ruby, this one as large as a chicken egg.
The orcs from the first caravan gave great exclamations of awe and shock.
'Where in the realm did you acquire such a precious thing?' One of them said in a hushed whisper.
'You-Know-Who's knights chanced upon one of the members Golden Order who, for reasons unknown, was injured. The knights managed to get her blade and scabbard, but as soon as they did, she managed to escape. Hasn't been seen since.' The second orc explained. 'At least we got this beauty though, eh?' He added gleefully, raising the weapon higher. 'You're ordered to take it back to our stronghold in the west of Spireridge Valley and lock it in the room where we keep our most valuable artifacts.' He rewrapped the cloth and handed the blade to the first orc with a frown on his piggish face as though unhappy having to part with it.
'Utvek, put it in the caravan,' the first orc ordered, giving him the weapon. While Utvek went to place it in the back of the caravan, the driver of the first cravan asked, 'so, anything else? I'd like to hurry up and leave this place, if you don't mind.' His beady eyes darted from one shadowed area to another as he shifted uneasily.
'No, that's it,' his companion replied. 'We're off to our other stronghold in the south. Going to be a long journey...,' he added grumpily.
'Well, get there safe,' the first orc replied, grasping the other one's arm. The orcs of the first caravan bid farewell to the others.
~Overview~
*The area is quite dark, but Legion and Erundak can just barely see.
*The orcs and goblins have an assortment of short swords, bows and axes.
*It's a large clearing about 20ft in diameter with hardly any foliage or rocks to trip over so footing will be good-unless you're unlucky.
*The charred tree in the centre of the clearing is the main plantlife in the area.
*There are a few trees scattered around the edge of the clearing.
((Now again, the choice is yours wether to confront them or not. You could wait until the second caravan leaves so you only have the orcs from the first caravan to face. Discuss in the Q&A as usual, then post here.
Oh, bit of info: the Golden Order is an order of Dragon Riders who ride Metallic Dragons who fought the drow in The Age of Shadow, but they haven't been heard from or seen since that big war-except now, it seems. Everyone knows the story, so Azax, Legion and Erundak would too. The drow's equivalent is called the...can't think of a name yet lol. I'll edit when I do haha))

Hey, guys.
Sorry this isn't about Blacktooth, but I thought this would be a good place to ask.
So I'm interested in getting into painting Warhammer figures, particularly dragons. But because I'm a total noob, I don't know what stuff to buy.
Can anyone give me a shopping list of what I'll need, please?Which brushes, paints and anything else?
Thank you!
