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

Blue eye nods and reaches over to get the water bowl where he had put it and hands it to Scarface.  

"Here, don't drink to fast." He said.

thank you. Scarface gave a short smile and drank. After that he laid back his head and waited for the others coming.

With Cyrix being at the head of the group he could see Scarface and Blue Eye up ahead, and he smiled as he said "Hello again you two...we have some friends I'd like you to meet!" He was hoping this was going to end on a good note, but one could never be too sure...

Blue eye waved and smiled, while keeping his mouth closed and his sharpteeth non visible.  "Good, bring them in and maybe we can all meet each other and talk." He said in what he hoped was a friendly manner.   He decided to continue with his idea of remaining sitting and, he hoped, present less of a threat.

Scarface looked up and saw Cayso. He waved to him and turned from his lying in a sitting position. His wounds still bleeded a bit.

Cayso looked at Scarface and waved back at him with a shy smile; Cayso thinks it is intriguing how can he salute him after that great fight, but it was that, a fight when both of them had their lives at stake... they both were injured, but there is no more hate or anger, everything was far better now... Cayso gave Scarface a bigger smile now.

Cyrix smile grew wider as he saw Cayso and Blue Eye and Scarface all smiling at each other and he said "You see Mim, nothing to worry about...things are becoming good as good things happen."

OOC: Such a Ruby statement! :lol

Mim nods, "It does seem that way.  Let us hope things continue this way." She said.  

Diver peeked around Mim's neck, scared but also curious and wanting a look at a non dangerous sharptooth, or ones that were said to be non dangerous.  "Yes, I hope so too, most certainly do I do." She said.

---

Blue eye waved again, "Scarface and I were wondering if you'd we willing to help us and we could help you in some way." He said in what he hoped was a friendly manner.  He was hoping they would help Scarface.  He wasn't sure how they could help the leaf eaters, besides helping guard them or warn them of any sharpteeth they smelled.

Scarface still looked at Cayso and the others hoping they would help him. Otherwise the chances to survive for him would be really bad. He would understand, if the others won¥t help him, because he and the other raptors started the fight. So he spoke: I... give very much ...credit to Cayso that he saved my life. And I would understand if you won¥t help us... or me. I know that my chances to survive with these.... injuries are rather bad, but I would understand if you won¥t help us. With that he laid his head again to the ground.

Cyrix smiled at Scarface and said "While it is true you started the fight, I've never let another dinosaur flattooth or sharptooth go without help if I'm nearby, so if you need help, I will be more than happy to help you."

"Thank you Cyrix" - Cayso gave yet another smile and went near Scarface and knelt besides him - "I am only worried about your neck injuries, if they get better you'll be fine." - Cayso then looked at Blue Eye and whispered while frowning - "Darkclaw, attacked us in the entrance of the cave, but he went away. Is there a chance he may get back to threaten all of us somehow?"

Thank you... Scarface. Could you ask for me if there may be a chance to heal my injuries? And... eer, Blue-eye. I think you could use your nose to find Darkclaw, you know how he smells.

"Don't worry Scarface, Darkclaw went beyond the entrance... but we can never be too cautious." - Cayso then looked back to Cyrix and waved him, so he can go help Scarface.

"I could try to find him if you wish.  Or maybe we could travel with you a bit to help protect you." He whispered to Cayso.

Mim walked a bit closer.  She looked at Scarface and his injuries then said to Cyrix, "I'm not to comfortable with this, but if you wish to help him I can help you.  During my brief childhood, and travels I've picked up some knowledge of plants that are helpful for healing and other interesting, sometimes useful knowledge."

Diver looked over at Scarface, "He does look hurt, you can help him can't you?" She asked.  

Mim patted Diver, "I'm sure working together several of us can." She said.

Ecco walked over to Scarface and knelt down next to him. He examined his wounds on the neck. That doesn¥t look very good, your injurys already began to balloon. Hope anyone of the folks around here know some good plants. He patted Scarface gently on the head.

Cyrix looked to Mim and said "We really don't have a choice..." he then said at a whisper "And I need to keep a promise." He then looked upon the walls and noticed that moss was growing, and he walked over and grabbed a handful...it was dry and warm...just what he needed! He walked back over to Scarface and said "This may feel a little warm." He then placed the moss over the wounds on his neck, and held them there.

Then without looking back he said "Mim...If we're going to help him we need more of this stuff...can you get some off the walls please?"

However Spike being ever hungry had begun to eat the moss using his tongue to get the hard to reach areas.

Mim nodded and went to areas that Spike had not gotten to yet and tried to reach up higher then he could to get some.  

"Here's some."  She said handing what she had gathered to Cyrix, "I'll go and get some more." She said.  She had an idea.  She turned to Diver.  

"I wonder if you'd be willing ot help?" She asked.

"Oh yes, if I can, but anything I can reach Spike can." Diver said.  

"Not if I hold you and reach up as high as I can, then you can reach some I can't." Mim said.

"Oh yes, lets try that." Diver said nodding enthusiastically, glad she could be of help.

Mim nodded then holding Diver in both of her hands reached up as high as she could while Diver stretched out and gathered as much moss as she could handing it down to Mim who moved one of her hands of Diver so she could hold them.  After they had gotten a few more she brought Diver down and went to give the rest she had gotten to Cyrix.

"Will these be enough?" Mim asked.

Scarface gave a quiet grawl as Cyrix put the moss on his wounds.

At the sound of Scarface growl Cyrix only applied more pressure and said "I know this stings, but it will help you from getting sick while we help you out of this cave." He then heard Mim behind him with Diver and he turned to look at what they had and smiled as he replied "That will be more than enough! Great job you two!"

He then asked "could you two give me a hand here, he needs some of this on his belly to stop the bleeding."

Mim nods and goes over to where Cyrix is.  "Glad to help." She says and gets started on helping doing what Cyrix is doing on the wounds on his belly.  

"Where can I help?" Diver asked.

Blue eye stayed back and out of the way, but also watched what they were doing so he could learn and maybe use the knowledge in the future if the need arose.
