Yay! \o/

I'm not the best with mathematical riddles, but ones like that one are great if I figure them out visually.

I actually went into MS Paint and doodled little pictures of a Troll, Orc, and Tauren heads along with the 3 types of pets and weapons. Then I just dragged everything around according to the information given until it made sense and I had an answer. xD

And here is the next riddle...

I was on a journey to Crossroads when I saw something strange. Two young orcs sitting on their riding wolves but they didn't ride, they just glared at one another. As I am a curious elf, I approached them to ask why they were sitting there in the sun doing nothing at all. They climbed from their wolves backs and joined me in the shadow of a nearby tree and told me their story.
"Our father died two days ago. As we only have this one farm here and we are twins, so none of us is older, our father told us to have a race from here to orgrimmar and back. The one whos wolf would come in last should be the one in charge on the farm."
I laughed. "And that is your problem? You are sitting here all day waiting for the other one to go first?"
Both orcs nodded.
I said one little sentence and they jumped up mounted the wolves and gave chase as if Mannoroth himself was after them. I didn't stay for them to come back and see who would be the new farms boss.

But what did I tell them?

You are to clever for my little riddles here...

It was a long time ago when I have been wandering the lands of the Kaldorei. I must have been careless, because I didn't see or hear their patrol and they took me into custody.
As everyone knows, the Kaldorei and the Sin'dorei bear no love for each other and so their leader saw an excellent excuse in me wandering their territory to sentence me to death. But, as an honorable man, he'd give me a chance. I'd have to pull one of two small stones out of a box while blindfolded. If I got the white stone, they'll let me go, if I drew the black stone, they'd kill me. They left me in a cage overnight, so I could "think about my crimes".
When it was dark, a young Kaldorei girl came and brought some water. She whispered to me that I shouldn't get my hopes up as no prisoner ever had the luck to draw the white stone. They all drew black and died. Some people began to wonder if there were only two black stones in that box.
I started to think all night long to think of a plan to escape that foul and treacherous bastard of a Kaldorei.

As you can see, I'm still here. What do you think did I do to escape, even though there were two black stones in that box?

Huh! This one was really bothering me because I couldn't see a good way though, but your idea seems sound, Dulanie.

I know! While you were drawing the stone, you told the guards to look thataway. As they do, you flee. You're running, using a treant as a mount. So, you're going, and going, and going, and you're free!

You drew a white stone on the wall of the cell? Come one, give us a hint?

The water! Can you use it to clean the stone, turning it white?

Bah, I hate open ended Riddles like this. xD To me it just seems like there's so many various possibilities you can make up as the answer.

Me too, I'm stuck on this one. I feel like the water plays a big part, but then again, i've been wrong many times before.

OK, here is a little hint...

What would you look at if you couldn't see what was chosen?
