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 smiled at Diver's willingness to be so close to a sharptooth just to help it...and said "Over on the other side Scarface still needs some there too." He then handed her a small handful of moss.

Spike however continued to eat the moss off the wall until he was satisfied and sat down to watch the others.

Diver nods and Mim pauses in her work to lift Diver after she has been handed the moss so she can put Diver on the other side so she can get started working.  

Diver started putting the moss like she had seen Cyrix and Mim do, working to do her best.

Ecco looked at the raptor, searching for some more wounds he could have. Than below the neck of Scarface were two more injuries which weren¥t examined yet. He looke over to Cyrix who had the moss by his side. Could you reach me some of the moss please, he asked.

Scarface felt the moss on his wounds. It was warm, comfortable. He gave a little smile and was thinking about the situation: I never thought that leaf-eaters could be so friendly to fastbitters like us. I¥ll promise, I¥ll never will eat a leaf eater again.

"It is amazing how willing you Leaf-eaters can be to help others, even Sharpteeth like us." - Cayso commented still feeling a bit of guilty to see Scarface in that condition, even though Cyrix helped him understand it wasn't his fault; Cayso then paused a bit and asked the Rainbowfaces - "When you are all done with Scarface, can you spare a bit of that moss for me too?."

Mim nods, "Sure there should be plenty." She said.  

"That is if my brother Spike doesn't eat it all." Diver said in a non serious joking tone of voice.  Also being unable to see that Spike had stopped, though still joking to try to lighten the mood.

Cyrix smiled as he and Mim were almost done, and asked "how do you feel now Scarface? Any better?"

Spike upon hearing his name walked over and nudged Ducky with his nose to see if she needed anything.

A bit yeah. It¥s... eer warm, and it feels good. Thank you all for the good help. I will remember that if you would need help once.

Cyrix nodded and said "I am glad we could help...I know not all sharpteeth are bad...they just trying to survive." He then had an idea "When we are done here would you mind helping us get to the Land of Mists...we could use the help."

He then turned to Mim and asked "What do think of this idea?"

Mim Thought for a moment then nodded, "It could be helpful, if they are willing.  We may be less bothered with sharpteeth if there are several in the group and they can help in other ways as well.  If they are willing, but we have to see to Cayso first." Mim said.

Diver nodded, "Any anyone else who is injured too." She said.

Blue eye nodded, "I'm willing to accompany and help you guys if Scarface goes with you." He said.

Cayso sits down near Ecco as he cover his wounds: "I'll have no problems if Scarface and Blue Eye come with us, the more help we can get the better." - he examines himself a bit - "Mmm, this wounds began bleeding a bit again."

I wouldn¥t have a problem with that, neither. After all, if you say yes, and you and Scarface had a very bad fight, I¥ll agree with you. He gave a short smile, than looked down to Caysos wounds. It doesn¥t looks good, maybe the wounds should be washed first, before you examine them with the moss. Ecco walked over to Scarface, where the water bowl stood. Can I take the water for a short time to examine Caysos injuries? He asked to Scarface. Scarface looked up to him, but he couldn¥t look Ecco directly in the eyes, because of the moss in his wounds. Of course, you can, he answered and reached him the bowl. Ecco than walked back to Cayso and watered his wounds on his leg and his stomach. Than he took a hand full of moss and took it deep in and over the wounds of Cayso. That could hurt a bit, but it should  feel better soon, he said.

After reaching Ecco the water bowl, Scarface thought about that what Cyrix mentioned. After a while he said: Yes, I¥ll go with you. I know that here are many dangours, and you could really need help. After all, I am indebted to all of you, because you saved my life.

Littlefoot and Cera were standing side by side and watching the whole situation. It seems like a dream, Littlefoot said. But it isn¥t.
Well, I don¥t guess that this will turn out well. Cera said while sniffing for some green food.
Oh, me be scared of the raptors. Petrie said and landed on Littlefoots back, next to Ducky.
Don¥t be scared Petrie, Ducky said and tapped him on his shoulder. I am sure the raptors will be kind. Like Chomper.
But, you didn¥t see the fight? Petrie asked.
Of course she did Petrie, Littlefoot said and looked back on his back. But they saved Scarfaces life now, I think that they can trust each other now.
Well, after all I am not that sure, Cera mentioned and walked to an area with some green plants. She tasted one. After that her face turned into a crimasse. YUC!!, what¥s that?
Don¥t know, Littlefoot said, but it seems that it doesn¥t tast good, he said and began to laugh. The others enjoyed the laughing.

After a short break Scarface also mentioned: But, there is a problem. We have to pass my heard...

Cayso just closed his eyes and bared his teeth a bit at the sensation caused by the moss. - "Yes, it hurts a bit, but this will indeed help me to heal, thanks Ecco".
 But the sensation passed quickly at the very mention of Scarface's herd been near - "I just hope they'll get us pass, right Scarface?" - Cayso managed to ask that to the injured Fast-bitter with concern in his voice, but there was nothing he could do now, Cayso thought of resting a bit while he can... his dizzyness has not stopped since he entered the caves.

Don¥t worry that much Cayso, I am sure that Scarface can handle with his herd very good.

Mim looks over her work, "It looks like I'm done here, does anyone else need any help?" Mim asked.  

Diver finished up doing what she could and stood by to relax a moment.

"I am fine, Ecco helped me.... this thing (the moss) is very warm....Mim, you may check Cyrix and Ecco." - Cayso was still sit, he was trying not to move at all while waiting the moss to have it's effect on his wounds and to avoid get too dizzy for the rancid air.

Cyrix's eyes widened and he looked up at Cayso, Ecco and Scarface more alert now than before and said "A whole herd of sharpteeth..." He sighed and continued by saying "Perhaps there is another way..." But a quick and loud moan from Longtail still tied to Mim's back made him sigh again and say "But we have no choice... we have to keep going through...for him."

Cayso looked back at Cyrix with much concern, but he just thought about his brother back at home with his own herd - "We must trust Scarface because time is against us now."

Mim nods, "We'll have to hope Scarface can help in that way." Mim said.  Then she turned to Cyrix and Ecco, "how are you 2 feeling, need any help with your wounds?" She asked.

"Once that is finished we can leave this nasty place." Diver said.

Scarface sat up now and looked in the round. I don¥t think that my herd will let you pass. But I¥ll do what stands in my strength to get you through my herd. He waited a bit  and after he noticed that there was this incertitude any longer he added: If it is necessary I¥ll give my life to save yours.

Cayso looked at Scarface - "That means a lot Scarface, really, but I truly hope we will not get to that point." - He took a look at Diver - "I also look forward to leave this place, it really makes me feel sick."
