Rod. The Mystery of the Gray Caves

"Oh, Plinto, Plinto, you are our future shaman! If I had known how this journey to the Gray Caves would end, I would never have agreed to guard you in my life! On the other hand, now I can boast among my orc classmates that I have seen a warlock in the dungeons, fought with kobolds, and witnessed the summoning of new evil gods." "Boys will be boys, no matter where they live or who they are: humans, elves, orcs. They are curious, inquisitive, and brave. Prut lives in the orc camp, he is the best in battle, an excellent rider, and tracker. But when it comes to the lessons of the old shaman... he just doesn't get it. On the other hand, his friend Plinto is preparing to become a shaman's apprentice and is well-versed in plants. The boys agree to go together for their homework and gather medicinal herbs and flowers. Everything would be fine, but... all the useful and valuable plants grow in the mountains, where evil kobolds roam, who have found new evil gods and are trying to bring them into the world of orcs to avenge past grievances." "For middle and high school age."
