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

Cyrix looked at Mim and said "He wants to leave the cave...but he needs to get past us to do it...so should we let him go?" Cyrix was uncertain about this choice and wanted the others opinion before he made another move.


Dark Claw sat still as stone but he had to sneeze and he knew that was going to cause some trouble...but he took two deep breaths and sneezed, causing Cyrix to jump backwards and look at the sharptooth with a now much more determined look in his eyes.

Longtail shifted and said in a low voice...."Let...him....go uncle...please...."

Mim thought a moment, "We can let him go, with maybe a person or 2 accompanying  him to be sure he isn't up to mischief.  But what of the other sharpteeth?" Mim said.

"Don't worry too much about them" - Cayso replied to Mim's question - "There are two more Fast-bitters inside the cave, one of them is taking care of his badly injured companion."

Cyrix nodded in response to what Cayso said and to back him up replied "Yes.. the other two sharpteeth are far too injured to fight back, and we should be able to get by...as long as a certain sharptooth doesn't happen to sneeze again!" He then looked in Dark claws direction and said "You are free to go...just don't bother us or try to follow or you'll regret it!"

Dark claw just smiled nodded his head, then he stood up slowly of course and walked out of the entrance the group originally came from without a second look back.

Mim watched Dark Claw go.  "What are the other 2 like personality wise?" She asked.

Diver uses a hand to pat Longtail, "Things are ok now, that sharptooth looks like he's gone." She said quietly to not disturb the others.

Blue eye looked at Scarface, "You sure you don't need some help with those wounds?"

Cyrix gave a smile and said "Now where is the fun if I just told you Mim....why don't we all just walk on through the cave and you'll get to meet them for your self."

I don¥t know. Darkclaw said and palmed his wounds on his neck. As he touched them he formed his face to a grimace. If there is anything what could help my wounds, that would be nice. But I can¥t think about anything yet.

OCC: Am I the only one or did anyone of you also notice that there isn¥t a Add Reply buttom any longer?

(OOC: I can see an add reply button.)

Blue eye thought for a moment, he wanted to help his friend but wasn't sure.  Then he got an idea, "Maybe we can ask the leaf eaters.  They may have some ideas.  Maybe we can come to some sort of agreement.  They help you and we help guard or protect them for a while or something." He suggested.

_____

Mim nods, "If we have to go past them we should meet them.  Maybe they'll be nice or neutral." She said.

Diver wasn't sure.  "Are you sure the are not mean sharpteeth most others are?" She asked.

Cyrix smiled and said "Now that's the spirit! Now what's say we get going, the sooner we are though these caves the sooner we can get those night flowers." Cyrix then turned and began to walk back towards Blue eye and Scarface hoping they could make some sort of deal.

Cayso, after seeing there was no more danger walked to where Ecco is - "Hey, is everything alright? any wounds?"

No, wounds so far. My stomach hurts, but that¥s all. Yourself? Looks like you got some bad injuries from the fight with Scarface.

Scarface looked to his companion. You think they would trust us any longer, after what we did to them. Well, we could give it a try.

Mim nodded to the others to Diver she said, "Only one way to find out.  And if there are only 2 we vastly outnumber them." Then to the others, "Lets go and talk to them.  Perhaps you who spoke to them before should be the ones to speak again to them.  And we can walk in a casual non aggressive manner may help to keep them relaxed." Mim said speaking a bit slower as she thought while speaking.

"I hope so. " Diver said while she nodded, still holding onto Mim.  She wasn't sure about this but hoped it would work out..

Blue eye nodded while sighing.  "We can only ask.  Asking will not hurt.  Do you want to speak to them when they return here?" He asked with questioning look on his face.

Onyx wasn't so sure about this idea and he protested his worries "This may be another trap...I don't feel good about this...I say we find another way around here!"

Cyrix however said "It will be alright Onyx....just have faith!" At that comment Longtail actually smiled, a small one, but a smile nonetheless.

Diver patted Longtail gently then spoke louder so the others would hear, "I think Longtiail likes Cyrix's idea since he is smiling, I certainly do." She said.

"Don't worry too much about my wounds Ecco, they don't bleed anymore and I bet I'll be able to find some healing plants when we get out of this cave" - Cayso smiled - "Come on, it should be better for the others if we go first, since we already met the other Fast-bitters."

Yes, I guess that would be best, Ecco said while turning around to walk at the front.

Scarface thought: I don¥t think I will be able to talk a lot. My wounds still hurt. Than he looked up to Blue-eye. Better you speak, he said, my wounds still hurt very much.

Blue eye nods concern for Scarface on his face, "Ok, I 'll speak to them, but maybe it's best if I remain sitting as I speak, they may feel less threatened and more willing to listen if I'm sitting instead of standing." He said, his wounds were just bruises, nothing compared to what Scarface had he thought.
