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

LBT: A Life-saving Journey

Cyrix nodded and said "Yes...unfortunately, and my nephew tied to Mim's back is the one who's affected and we need to find the night flowers for him!" It was then Onyx decided to make his presence known as he flapped down to the ground. "Hello, my name is Onyx, and I must say this is one very unique herd we've made here...but we should really press on...if we are to save Longtail."

Cayso took a glimpse to the little flyer tied to Mim's back, "that flyer... that fog is killing him just like it's killing my brother!" - he then squeezed very hard his left forearm - "Please help me get the flowers, Ecco knows the way but we can be sure to get them if we go all together" - suddenly he began to shake a bit, a little tear run through his right cheek - "I ....just want to save him".

He love his brother, he would do everything for him, Ecco said. Littlefoot looked up to Cayso with concern in his eyes. We will find the nightflower all together, and save your brother. I¥ll promise you. I know how it is if one you are loving is very cloth to the death. Littlefoot thought at his grandpa.

Ducky came to Littlefoot now. Eeh, hello, she said, but she wanted to leaf a bit distance between her and Cayso cause she wasn¥t sure after all. Can I ride with you Littlefoot? Yes, you can Ducky, he said smiling it her. He put her up gently and sat her on his back. Try to sleep a bit, it will be a long walk now.

"If everyone is ready, has fully rested as well as eaten and drunk enough we should get started." Mim said.  Diver nodded then repositioned herself so she was more secure on Mim's back.   She would look back at Longtail now and then to see if he needed or was about to say anything.  

"Do not worry Longtail, " she said to him in a low voice, "We will be there soon."

Longtail smiled weakly as he heard Diver's comment and Cyrix nodded as he said "Well everyone.."He then turned to Ecco and Cayso and replied "Well we found an underground cave, that  should take us to the Land of Mists faster...so let's get a move on."

"Agreed, the sooner we go the sooner we'll get the flower..." - he took another glimpse at Mim, and with a shy smile - "... and the sooner you won't have to see me again" - he turned the sight back to Cyrix - "I'll follow your lead".

"Perhaps those who have been here before should be among those in front, if they recognize this area or an area we may get to." Mim said.  She nodded to Chiletrek, "and if what you say about wanting the flower is true then you could also act to warn us of any danger you can smell." She said, not believing much of what he said, but it could be true she thought, but she would not let her guard down.

"I'll keep Longtail company and tell you if he tries to say anything so he won't have to talk loud, I will." Diver said.

Mim turned to look at her, "Ok, but hold tight to me and or the vines, just to be extra safe." She said.

Ecco was a bit nervous now, but he had to tell the group what he thought. Listen guys. I was in this cave before.

Mim looked over at Ecco, "You were? Do you have any information what it is like?  Current information?" She asked.

Well, after my parents died because of the attack of two sharpteeth, I could escape. I was crawling in the desert for a long time. After a very long time without foot and water I reached this eeeh... short cut. And well, I couldn¥t trust my eyes, there was so much greenfoot and water. So you don¥t need to worry Ducky. But.... there is very much dangour in this short cut too. For excample Raptors, who just wait for their food and there are very much cliffs where one could fall in. Anyway, if we use this short cut, we must be careful and hold together, otherwise the chance to survive is very little. He looked at the gang and saw the confusion in the eyes of everyone. He was very sorry for this, but he had to tell it them.

OOC: omg! I think I really need to rewatch LBT 04 :blink: .

 "Other raptors? I just hope they aren't....." - thought Cayso to himself, but nevertheless he and Ecco were now with a big group and with even some grown-ups "Well, with or without more fastbitters I think we must continue" - he finished eating some crawlers trying to disguise his face of *not my favourite food, but better than the green stuff* - "I think I must go with the lead dinosaurs, just in case".

Mim nods, "We have to be more alert then usual.  Those with extra sensitive senses can use those to help warn the others.  At night we may have to have some who take turns staying awake so to reduce the possibility of being snuck up on."

Diver nodded, "If we must go through we must.  Being careful is always a good thing, it is." She said.

Littlefoot nodded. Yes it is Ducky. Cera came to Littlefoot. We also have to take care before this raptor who comes with the swimmer. Littlefoot bounced Cera. Cera...., he said with a angry voice. What? She asked. I don¥t trust him. He is a raptor. What¥s the matter? Littlefoot whispered back. The voice of the two slowed down to a whispering now. Chomper is also a fast-bitter, and you trust him too. Cera bounced Littlefoot back. But he is little and Cayso isn¥t. I haven¥t got a good feeling. Just wait and let¥s see how things will turn out. Littlefoot said. He was smailing at Cayso, than he looked at his back. Ducky already slept now.

Cyrix being close enough to hear Littlefoot and Cera's conversation walked over to the two and whispered "Don't let his apperance fool you...we can trust Cayso...besides Mim and I are here to protect you, and Onyx as well, and he's a flyer!"

At the mention of his name Onyx looked back and asked "Are we going or not...I'd like to get there before Longtail loses the fight!"

Yes, Littlefoot said. I guess that would be the best now.

Mim nods, "We may as well go if everyone is sure they are ready." She said looking around at the various folks including Diver on her back who nodded that she was ready.  She gave Longtail a last pat before she got a better trip on Mim and the vines to ensure she was secure on Mim's back.

"I am ready to go, and if there are really other fast-bitters, then let me go with the lead dinosaurs, if we find problems I may be able to convince them to let us pass peacefully" - Cayso took some steps closer to the group of leaf-eaters carefully enough to be not too close to Mim - "Ecco, can you come here a moment?".

OOC: I'm sorry for my absence, I hope I can be around more often now :) .

Cyrix nodded and said "Yes, that is a very good idea...I for one believe you should lead us." He then turned to Mim and asked her opinion "Do you agree?"

Mim nodding, "His sniffer should better then ours so he should, logically, be capable of smelling certain dangers before any of use are." and a part of her was thinking they could more easily keep an eye on him.  

Diver remained quiet for now on Mim's back.

Ecco nodded and went to Cayso. What is it? Everything all right?

Ducky was still sleeping on Littlefoots back. She yawned and turned to the other side.
