The Night stone (The late night crew)

Caelum

"Wait. You saw that happen?" Russ asked in surprise. He missed out on a crazy adventure.
"Yeah. Right before our eyes she disappeared." Jund confirmed.
"Woah." Ziegs said.
After a few moments of awkward silence Jund spoke up.
"Well. We did confirm that there is no stone in the cave so we have to travel to the large Orc city, Caelum. Now that we have this compass we can travel much quicker."
"Oh, I've been there before." Cry said.
"What's it like? I heard it was pretty big." Cheyenne asked.
"You'll see when we get there."
"Alright. Everyone pack their things. We'll be leaving as soon as possible." Russ instructed, taking back his leadership from when he wasn't hungover.

They traveled for 2 days southwest. It started to snow a little on the way there, but it wasn't sticking to the ground because it wasn't cold enough yet. They made it to the Orc city the 3rd morning.
"It's amazing." Cheyenne said while admiring the city from the outside. There were large stone buildings, and plenty of them. They were probably 20 feet high, which was quite impressive.
"Orcs are great at building. Don't let any Dwarves tell you other wise." Cry proudly said of his race.
They walked to the front gate entrance where two Orc guards stood watch, both male. They looked slightly taller than cry and had more muscle. This was because they were full-Orc, unlike Cry who was half-Orc half-Human.
"Zi rakest tu lao? (What are you here for?)"
The only person that new Orcish was Cry, so of course they had him talk for them.
"Re tin fr larikne ei Nox lapis (We are looking for the Night Stone.)" Cry explained to the guard.
"O tu quoque. Ego veni in coniecto. (You guys too? Come in, I guess.)" The guard sighed before ordering somebody behind the gate to open. The gate opened and the city spanned before them. The adventures walked down the streets of Caelum together.
"When I talked to guard earlier..." Cry said before pausing.
"Go on." Russ said.
"He mentioned that some people were here also looking for the stone."
"What? How is that possible? I thought we were the only ones to have that book!" Jund asked.
"That's exactly what I thought." Cry admitted.
"Maybe it's mentioned in another book?" Russ suggested.
"Maybe it's because I've been following you." A mysterious voice said from behind them.
It was Dark Prince Zak, standing right behind them.

"What the hell are you doing here?!?" Cry asked the evil prince.
"I've came here to tell you in person that I've been watching you and listening in on you. I know where you are going. So I decided to send some of my researchers here." Zak explained.
Zak then looked at the 6 adventurers. His head stopped at Russ.
"Oh yes, I've been looking for you. You haven't quite managed to die yet." Zak smirked.
"D-die traitor!" Russ said while pulling out his hammer. He swung at Zak's face but the prince quickly blocked his blow with his hand.
"Honestly, you're going to have to try a lot harder to kill me." Zak said "Well I have places to be so if you don't mind I'll be leaving now." Zak then vanished into thin air with a small cloud of dust left behind.
Russ stood there traumatized. His worst enemy just came up behind him and scared him.
"Hold on.. I have something to help us. I can put a spell on us to prevent Zak from scrying on us." Jund explained. He then muttered the words "Bʼaşyẕn ʼwndz şʼátns." The 6 of them didn't feel much different, but they knew something changed.

"Hey Jund, what language is that anyway?" Cheyenne asked.
"Um... I can't tell you, it's a secret... Sorry." Jund responded hesitantly.
"It's nothing I have ever learned. Must be your fancy magic school." Cheyenne said.
"Well. If I'm correct the stone must be in some sort of... Watering hole?" Jund questioned.
"Oh," Cry said "In larger Orc cities they used watering holes like animals use to give more people access to water."
"Wouldn't more diseases spread like that?" Snake asked.
"Orcs don't get sick very easily. It would take something like poison to make us sick."
"Orcs are weird." Ziegs said.
Jund decided to change the subject.
"The stone is in that watering hole." Jund said.
"And we're going to have to swim to get it."
"What are we going to do? Use a water breathing spell?" Ziegs asked.
"Well... I can't do that. I was never good at water breathing spells." Jund admitted.
"Then how are we going to swim to the bottom?" Cry asked.
"Shapeshifting spells."
