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

"it appears that there is no danger for now Ecco" - said the little fast-bitter with some relief to his friend, but he then replied to himself while staring to the cave's entrance - "let's hope our luck holds".

Let¥s see how things turn out. If there should be any dangour, we have to help the group. We both know, that we have much experiences in fighting. We have to protect Longtail and the others, so they¥ll trust you more in the future. And a big group is even better than a small group. So be ready and if you sniff something let it me and the others know, okey?

Onyx landed outside the cave entrance and said "I can't fly in these caves. so someone with a better set of eyes and sniffer should most likely go first!" Cyrix nodded at the statement and walked forward, motioning for everyone else to follow.

Comment Cayso, we should walk with Cyrix at the front. So we¥ll smell dangour much faster.

"That sounds like a plan to me, let's go reach him." - Cayso began walking towards Cyrix, and when they reached him - "Hey, we will go in the front with you, that way we can make sure your mate with the sick Flyer can be safer with the leaf-eater kids.".

OOC: Please don't get mad at me, you know my OC and Nimrod's OC didn't start the trip with the rest so I am suppose to not know that you just met with Mim.

Mim nods, "That makes sense." She says in response as to the dialog as to who should go first.  She smiles a bit at the mention of her and Cyrix being mates.  She did admit to herself he seemed nice and was attractive in appearance as well.  

Diver kept looking back at Longtail and around a bit also to try to help keep watch.  

"We'll be getting the night flower soon." She said quietly to Longtail to help keep his spirits up.

Upon hearing Cayso's comment Cyrix began to blush...and unfortunately he also couldn't form a coherent sentence. "Well...you see...uhhh...that is....well...she...and ohh..." he then looked back at Mim and took a deep breath as he said "We are not mates...yet. But thank you for going ahead and sniffing for danger."

Aren¥t you, Ecco asked. I thought you two are. You would give a nice pair. He smiled and turned his head back in his old position where he can sniff for some dangour

"Sorry, I thought you were mates since you are the only two grown-up dinosaurs of the same type in this group." - Cayso could do nothing but to smile as he saw Cyrix's blushed face - "So far I smell nothing, but the air is different inside caves, we should be careful" - the Fastbitter tells Cyrix with a more serious face as he proceed to enter the cave.

Cyrix nodded his face still blushing, but his tone serious as he said "Yes...I imagine the inside of a cave would smell strange, however we have to continue onward." He then walked forward into the cave following Cayso and looked around for any signs of trouble. Onyx followed soon after and took Cyrix example of checking for danger.

Mim smiled a bit as Cyrix looked at her.  She liked the idea of having a mate, but such things took time.  To the various comments she nodded.  

"It can be quite different in the cave, some creatures live in caves that do not live outside caves sometimes, and some take shelter inside caves as well."  

Diver nodded to what some said, "Caves can be scary, they sure can." She said.

Ducky sniffed in the air. uugh, the air here is very dry. And it smells terrible. Littlefoot sniffes too now. You are right Ducky, but we have to pass this cave if we want to help Longtail and Caysos brother.

For Cayso, who has a more sensible sense of smell it was harder to get used to the rancid air inside the cave, and the mention of his brother made things uneasier. Suddenly, the young fast-bitter began feeling sick, thoughts began inviding his mind, "Racnar's suffering was my fault"- spoke to himself, and a pain began filling his body, making him to bowel and he began speaking to himself in the sharptooth language.

Longtail at that moment although barely able to speak said as loud as he could 'Cayso...i...it's not....your...fault...h-helping him....is-is what...matters now.' Onyx looked back upon hearing the little flyer speak and said "Cayso did you hear what he just said?"

Cayso?. Are you all right? Do you want to rest? Ecco asked. He was very worried now about his friend. It isn¥t your fault.

Mim nodded, "if you need to rest just say so, no need tiring your self out.  And Longtail said is likely true." She said.


Diver nodded, "Things happen, and if you bring him the night flower you two can go back to being  as you were before, you can." Diver said nodding.

After clearing enough his throat he replied to the grown-up Flyer - "I... heard him" - he looked back to the rest of the group - "it's amazing how he doesn't hesitate to put others before him, even though his own life is at stake" - then he centered his sight at the sick Flyer - "I know you can hear me, thank you". Cayso took one more moment to focus himself again and he standed up - "I am fine Ecco, sorry I worried you, but we must hurry now" - he began walking again, but the rancid air prevents the fast-bitter from using his sniffer at it's full capacity.

Cyrix and Longtail both smiled at Cayso's complement and Cyrix said "It's becoming very hard for me to see...Perhaps we can find an outside light source?"

Mim turned to Cayso.  "I know it doesn't smell very nice in here, but if there is a way out, you'd be the best one to smell it." She said, then she wet one of her fingers to see if she could feel any slight wind currents that may show an entrance.

Diver continued to hold on, taking time to pat Longtail now and then to try to reassure him.
