The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

OCC: Yeah, I know that they want to go to the land of mists now. But I read too something about asking other to come with them. Am I right?

OOC: Yes, Cyrix is choosing who comes with him.  Some of the characters you are choosing can speak up about wanting to come along.  I assume GVG is being in character and perhaps Cyrix would not point out the GOF and say, you 5 are going with me wether you want to or not, lets go right now!  So they  have to speak up about wanting to go would likely be in character for them.

Diver looked at Cyrix, "You decided on some who you want to go with you, some of them should be folks who have been there before, yes they should."

Cyrix nodded at Divers statement and said in reply "I do believe we have enough travelers for this venture, unless anyone else would like to speak up." as he finished the sentence he looked over at Littlefoot and the others with a small smile on his face....hoping they would speak up.

Diver looked at the others, then at Cyrix.  "I'll be willing to go, though I've not been there before.  I'm sure my brother and sister and some of their friends would want to go to, yes I think they will." She said nodding.  Then she looked at the others to see if they would say if they wanted to go or not.

Cyrix's smile grew wider still as he mentally said to himself 'That's one...'

Diver looked at the gang members present. "Do any of you want to go too?" She asked them.

How I said before, I can go with you. If Cera wants to go with us too, that would be nice, what would you say Cera? Ducky said. Well, I don¥t like this place very much, but it¥s important for longtail, so I will go with you too. She said, but she didn¥t really know if that was the right decide. Mayby Petrie could come with us, as a flyer. That would be a great help I think, ducky said with a asking look at Petrie

Diver nodded, "Yes, those are good ideas.  I'm glad you both are coming too, I am, certainly I am." She said happy to be going somewhere with her sister and at least one of her friends.

Cyrix then spoke up by stating "We're running out of time, we need to get going now, before the bright circle leaves the sky! It may be my nephews' only chance!" "Come along young ones' and stay close to me...I'd never forgive myself if something happened to one of you." said the rainbow face as he turned and headed for the wall of the Valley.

Diver nods, "We do need to hurry, but we can't run the whole way we can still hurry, we can certainly." She said, climbing into a one of the larger dino's backs since she knew with her tiny legs she could not keep up.

______

As they neared the wall of the Great Valley another dinosaur was in the bushes and trees away from the others.   She heard the group and went deeper into the trees, peeking around the trunk to see if they were heading her way.  She was a rainbowface.  She looked similar to the female in the movie but was a shade or so lighter with a hint of blue in her color and a long ago healed very scars on her back from where a sharptooth had taken a swipe at her.

She saw a group of young dinos with one adult rainbowface and a flyer.   She wondered what they were up to, such a diverse group of species.  And why were they heading out of the great valley.  

She wasn't sure one adult rainbowface with a flyer could keep them all safe.  She had lived in the great beyond all her life, at least the last half of it mainly alone, and only just recently arrived in  the great valley.  She decided to head off behind the group, keeping out of sight.  She could help the group, perhaps, without them knowing she was there, for a while at least.  

When the group was far enough ahead Mim headed out behind them, keeping to this and that place of concealment as best as she could.

(Yes, Onyx is with the group)

Cyrix continued to walk, but stopped as he turned to Onyx and said "You need to go ahead and act as a scout for us so we don't run into any sharpteeth." The jet black flyer nodded and said "Of course, it would be my pleasure to assist you."

Onyx then picked up speed and left the valley wall, and managed to get a large lead on the group of travelers and hoped they didn't have too many problems. 'I hope he knows what he's doing.' said Cyrix mentally not completely trusting the black flyer.

Diver looked over where Cyrix was ahead of them, "He is far ahead he is." She said.

Mim meanwhile kept the group in sight, going from one hiding place to the next place of concealment.  Living in the mysterious beyond made her more use to traveling, similar to far walkers, then most residents would be.  She also, from force of habit, kept a look out for sharpteeth.

(thanks, did a very slight edit in previous post since Onyx is there.)

I don¥t like it to go in the mysterious Beyond, I don¥t, Ducky said while she was climbing on Ceras back to feel save. Don¥t worry Ducky. We are a big group, so it is very impossible that something will happen to us, Cera said with a calm voice as possible. She know, that she was wrong, but she didn¥t want to scare Ducky.

Cyrix heard Ducky's concern and turned to say "Don't worry Cera is right, and besides we have Onyx scouting ahead for us to see of any coming sharpteeth, so we should be fairly save." he said with a smile.

Diver nodded to Ducky's concerns.  "It is scary, it is, but we do have a Mr. Cyrix and Mr. Onyx with us so that is better then just us alone, it is." She said, hoping she could help calm Ducky's fears and concerns.  

Mim continued going from one concealment to the next, keeping a look out and keeping them in sight.  At times she got close enough to perhaps hear a word or 2 but not their full conversation.  She wondered where they were heading to and why.  It must be something important from the look on their faces she had seen on a few of them before they left the great valley.
