I'm trying to figure out the whole object thing since it's not apparent in English.
I know in adjectives they take the objective form, but does the adverb take the case?
I haven't found the answer on the site so i figured i'd ask the forms.
Answers?

Do you mean sentences like: li mangxis rapide? In this case, the only time an adverb ends in -n is when it shows a destination. It does not gain an -n just because a nearby word does: Li mangxis la panon rapide.
So with the -n of direction, we have "li estas ekstere" he is outside, but "li iris eksteren" he went outside (to outside). This is a different function from showing the object of a verb that receives an action.
I hope that answers your question
