I don't know anything about three friendly orcs in that area: can't help you there.

About the merchant quests in Ars Magicana; look here.

ok, about that burning cart again. i read on the site you gave me it was very useful thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> but it stood there that i shall visit a cave before going to the merchant again. if i did not do that, do i have to start over the game for finishing clues about the wares. or can i go back to that cave and leave the clues to the merchant after finish the quest with pedro under riverton market. thanks a lot for help hope im not a kind of enoying guy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

You should be able to go to the cave, pick up the letter there and deliver it to the merchant still. I'm not 100% sure though, I'm afraid it's rather easy to mess this quest up if you don't do things according to a certain order (like the one on Kiya's website).

You don't need those three orcs for anything. I believe they turn hostile as soon as they notice you. I never saw them when they were friendly, but remember someone else posting about this, and apparently (IIRC) there is a chest near where they are standing.

The transformed human (or possibly lying orc) does not show up again, so it does not make much difference if you let him go or kill him.

I believe that those 3 friendly orcs were guarding a chest. So they were special orcs that had hostile (100). they are kind of like a boss but not really. I saw this with other monsters in the game. Raze is right, they will turn hostile when you get too close.

I never saw them friendly either. The only good orc is a dead orc anyway <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> (Except if it's called Kroxy of course.)
