I'm cool with continuing on into the cave and going across the water in that room.
Btw, how deep is the water? What if some nasty beasty is lurking in it?

Well, it was 3:30 p.m. when the party received their orders from the king and the party has been travelling for a few hours now, so let's say it's 6:30 p.m. so the sun is setting. That could help Azax.

Yeah, didn't undersdand any of that lol. I might have to research everything and how it works because that's seriously confusing. Plus, I'm dyslexic at maths, I'm embarrassed to say.

Subject: Crap DM Alert
I'm not doing very well as a DM lol. I need to remember to describe the land more. Sorry. I'll remember for the future.
To answer your questions, Nomad:
1) There are trees, but they are quite sparse. A cluster of 4 beside the road, then a gap of about 50 yards, then another small cluster. The terrain is rocky, but not very. So rough-ish ground but it doesn't slow movement down too much (besides, you're on horses anyway).
2) 3 orcs are at the rear of the caravan to get their spoils. The other 4 are clustered about 10 yards from it, examining the stuff they just pilfered. So 2 clusters. Take your pick.

Just wanted to speak to you about Legion's lack of self will. I get that he's programmed to take orders, but what about when this quest for the king is over? What will he do then when he has no more orders? And what is he going to do in the currant situation with the orcs attacking the traders' caravan? Just stand there and not help Azax and Möhmal? Just saying that Legion won't always have direct orders so if that's the case, he's just going to have to stand there and do nothing for some of the campaign then.

The traders don't know crap about fighting, whereas the orcs have been trained since they were very little. Plus, orcs are more bulky than most humans. I'm making my orcs a bit stronger than regular D&D orcs. Bit more of a challenge. Don't want the campaign to be too easy! Haha. The orcs have tied up the traders so they can leisurely rifle through their wares and take what they want. Should have mentioned that, sorry.

Subject: The Quest Begins...
The party mounted their steeds and prepared to set out on their very first journey together, a journey they suspected would be long and trecherous with many obstacles to overcome. But they were determined to see it through.
The jungle elf, who had never experienced riding on horseback, looked at her beast uncertainly, unable to figure out how to mount him. The Owlin and Warforged approached on their horses and instructed her on how to climb into the saddle. Möhmal sat upon her horse's back unsteadily at first, but she soon started to become accustomed to the feel of the animal's movements beneath her.
'Farewell, my friends!' King Valorian raised his hand to see them off. 'May good fortune rule over you on your quest and may you become successful in your endeavors!'
With the packhorses' harnesses securely tied to the saddles of Azax and Legion's steeds, the party made their way out of the city of Vangar. They remembered the king's terrible tales of the wyverlings venturing out of the confines of their leafy homes and spreading their demonic wings out in the open, preying on the helpless with fang and claw and lashings of their whiplike tails. The party kept glancing at the sky, the dying rays of the late afternoon sun casting elongated shadows upon the rocky path. The three companions were relieved to see that no huge batlike beasts were wheeling overhead...for now.
The party soon found the road that would lead them straight to the thick foliage of Wyverling Woods and proceeded to canter down the trail, but it wasn't long before they encounted a commotion ahead of them. In the gathering gloom, they could discern sillhouettes of figures in a vicious struggle. The Owlin and elf's enhanced nightvision allowed them to see that a small band of orcs were harrassing a trader's caravan that was bound for Vangar. Azax and Möhmal counted five of the fiends and seven traders. Three of the orcs were armed with broadswords and had donned leather armour that was crudely stitched together with leather strips. The remaining two had axes with short bone handles and wore the same armour as their brethren.
Able to understand the orcs' harsh tongue, Azax heard one of them shout to his companions as he pulled out an ornate chest from the rear of the caravan:
'What goodies do we have here? Will make good trade, yes?'
His companions chuckled mockingly and the smalkest of the fiends climbed all the way into the caravan, emerging with a bolt of bright silk in his filthy hands.
'Rare,' he smiled gleefully. 'Will fetch good price. Let's take it home.'
The five orcs were so focussed on their spoils, they did not notice the party standing (still mounted) a hundred yards away.
Now the party had a decision to make: aid the traders in fending off the would-be thieves, or continue on their way on their quest to save the princess of Vangar. With every passing moment, Avira's life was ebbing away. The party knew they had precious little time to obtain the antidote to the basilisk's venom and free her from its deadly toxins. But could the party turn a blind eye to others in need?
What would the party decide?
((OOC: Feel free to discuss the decision in the Q&A thread first!))

Sorry about that! XD

Subject: Weapon Bonding
'I thank you for your information. I think it is best at least one of us escorts you back to Botkinburg to increase your chances of a safer journey,' Thäoran told the twins.
He then approached Hornet and told him his plan.
'The two young humans shouldn't travel back to the village alone. It is too dangerous with all these goblins about. I am going into the cave to perform the ritual of the Weapon Bond. It will take me an hour.' He nodded to Hornet and headded into the cave.
Sitting on the rough ground and crossing his legs, the elf laid his father's rapier and one of his daggers before him-the two weapons he wished to forge with. Placing a hand on each, he uttered the incantation and forged the bond with each.
((OOC: Performs Weapon Bond))

Hey, Nomad, is the party taking a break in the cave? I want to perform my weapon bond ritual. It takes an hour, so I thought it would be a good idea to perform it now when we rest in the cave (if we are resting, that is).
Also, how long does the weapon bond last after the ritual is performed?

Topic: Fire & Shadow RPG
Subject: Preparations
The king turned to the royal paige who had announced his presence.
'Please go to the royal stables and request that 3 horses and 2 packhorses be tacked up immediately.'
'Yes, my Lord,' the paige bowed and hurried off to do his king's bidding.
King Valorian then turned back to the party.
'There have been reports on the interior of the orc stronghold, which my spies posing as traders and several prisoners who escaped have written and drew on parchment which I keep in my records chamber.'
After instructing a knight to fetch the sheets, he spread them out on one of the stone benches that surrounded the fountain.
Gesturing at the left side one of the parchments, he said, 'as I mentioned earlier, the traders' entrance is on the west of the stronghold. My spies said they travelled down a roughly hewn tunnel that stretched for over five hundred yards. They then came to two sets of stairs: one leading up, the other down. They were not permitted to go down, but on the floor above was a large chamber with four doors, one in each of the walls. So that included the door they had just entered by. They were unable to see what was in two of the other doors-the ones to the left and right of the door they had just come through. But the door directly opposite theirs lead to a short passageway ending in an iron door that was securely bolted and had a thick padlock and chain for good measure. It was also guarded by two burly orcs. Inside, the room was packed full of goods-no doubt plundered from honest traders. That could be where the precious antidote is. You may be wondering that if my spies managed to return to me, why didn't they inform me of the stronghold's exact location. Well, the further they ventured away from the stronghold back to the city, the more hazy their memory became. Rílgari suspects a forgetful charm was placed on the stronghold in order to help keep its location hidden. Not a very good one one because visitors still remembered the hold still laid in the west, but still strong enough to obscure its exact location.
The prisoners who escaped tell of a tunnel directly opposite their cells, with stairs leading up at the end and other passageways branching off to the left and right. The prisoners said they could smell food being prepared, the odour wafting from the lefthand passage, so the stronghold's kitchen may be located down there.'
__________________________________
((Cut to Möhmal's time with Rílgari))
'Welcome to my private workshop and the royal apothecary,' the sorcerer smiled. 'I will instruct you on several flora and fungi that may aid you in your quest.'
He strode to a cluttered shelf and began pulling down several jars, placing them on the equally cluttered counter. In fact, the whole room was rather chaotic, but perhaps everything was in an order only Rílgari knew.
'This,' he told Möhmal, 'is the Forkleaf, so named because the leaves split like the tongue of a serpent. Crush the leaves with a pestel and mortar and spread the resulting paste onto light wounds to help heal them.'
((Restores 5HP))
He reached into the next jar and took out a handful of small mushrooms with brilliantly violet hued caps, speckled with white spots.
'Next is the Violetcap. It's obvious where they aquired their name. The cap induces a deep sleep, though my test revealed that the size of a creature's body affects how long it remains in slumber: the larger the body, the quicker it awakens, while smaller creatures stay asleep for longer periods of time. So, a creature the size of an orc will sleep for about fifteen minutes, while a goblin will sleep for about thirty.I was lucky enough to have a captured orc and goblin to experiment on, you see.'
The third jar contained a plant that appeared to be holly but with leaves as red as its berries.
'The Fireholly,' he informed the elf. 'While the berries, if ingested or applied to the skin, causes a painful burning sensation, the leaves. when ground into a paste, help to dull the pain of burns. Depending on the severity of the burn, it may not completely banish the pain, but it still helps.'
He took out a delecate flower from the next jar in line, its petals white as snow.
'The Snowcrystal. When ground into a paste, the petals clean and steralise wounds.'
The final jar contained a plant with very thick stems.
'The Threadstem. Named because, when the stem is cut into threads, it's strong enough to be used as stitches for sewing wounds together. A very useful plant indeed.'
Rílgari tied several of each plant into seperate bundles and placed all except the Fireholly, into a sturdy wooden jar. The holly he placed in a seperate container.
'Due to the berries,' he explained. They could transfer their burning toxins onto the other plants. Always keep the Fideholly seperate from the others. There,' he nodded, looking at the jars. 'That should get you started. Oh, locations:
The Violetcap can be found in typical mushroom locations such as cool, damp areas like rotting logs and near a source of water. They don't like much sunlight, so look for them in shadowy, gloomy places. The Snowcrystal is found in woods, at the side of roads etcetera. It likes sunlight, so anywhere that gets a lot of sunlight, you're likely to find them. The Threadstem is the same as the Snowcrystal, conveniently. So sunny places. The Fireholly grows around sources of water.'
((OOC: Yes, I completely made up everything about the plants myself: names, affects, appearances and locations. So sorry if they're not very good lol))
__________________________________
((Cut back to King Vangar))
'As for trading routes, there are several around here: the main one that leads directly to the Valorian, and others leading to the surrounding towns and villages: one directly east, the other south-west and the last directly north. The only known trade route into Spireridge Valley is the one used by the orcs, goblins and the unscrupulous human traders who deal with them. Ordinary traders keep clear so as to avoid being hassled by wyverlings. Though it seems these days, even staying away from the woods doesn't help.'
At that moment, the paige returned to inform his king and the party that the horses were ready to leave anytime.
'Sorry to keep sending you off, my boy,' the king said to the paige, 'but could you please gather the following items and bring them to me?'
King Vangar quickly wrote down the list of equipment and items the party had requested, then handed it to the paige. ((Yes, including arrows! So everything you requested, you have now got)).
((Oh, and btw, Möhmal would have heard everything the king said, too))

Topic: Blacktooth Ridge
Subject: Finally, A Moment of Rest...
Thäoran exhaled a relieved sigh as the battle seemed to have finally come to an end. He allowed the remaining goblins to flee. The elf and his party had fought hard through the night. He was weary and knew he shouldn't push his luck. From a young age, he had been taught to avoid battle when possible because looking for a fight could get you killed. So he replaced his bow in its pinewood tube and cast his gaze around for the ones they had been hired to retrieve. There: the twins were running South away from the river and the battle. The elf swiftly chased them down and hailed them.
'Please, do not flee. We are not your enemies,' he reassured them. 'We have been hired by the town mayor of Botkinburgh to rescue you from the clutches of the goblin fiends. You are safe with us. Please, could you tell us any information that could be of use to us? Did you see what the interior of the Vargolg looked like? Do you know what activities the goblins are undertaking in its tunnels?' He paused, then asked more softly, afraid of what the answer may be, 'did you see any other elves being held captive?'
