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 continued along, helping Scarface as he kept his head mainly pointed downward, but looking ahead and around to keep alert and sniffing now and then to also help keep alert.  He also kept his tail drooped a bit.

Mim walked along with the others in her place, carrying Diver and Longtail.  She continued to look around to keep a look out, and down to prevent tripping over any rocks and such.

Diver looked around at the interesting sights she could see, but hoping they'd get out also so she could see the outside, and they would get closer to the nightflowers.

Littlefoot nodded back and went to the others. Scarface was still trying, not to be very heavy for him. But that was hard. Everytime, if he tried to stand on his own, the injurys began hurting and burning again.

Cayso began looking to Scarface and Blue Eye before telling Ecco - "Well, maybe I'll need you to help me walk again Ecco. That sure will help with this prisoner game.". Cayso placed his arm around Ecco's shoulders like a little while ago, and hoping all of this would be for the best.

Ecco nodded, and hold Caysos hand, which was placed around his shoulder. I hope it will work.

Onyx was the first, after Ali of course to reach the outside of the cave, and the very first action he took was to stretch his wings and work out the sore spots on his body. Cyrix was next and he took a deep breath of fresh air and said "Now, this feels good." He turned around to the others waiting for them to emerge as well.

Onyx walked over to Ali's mother and said "See, your daughter safe and sound. Just as I promised." He then looked behind him and smiled as he replied again "here come my friends."

Blue Eye walked along helping Scarface as before and in his usual place.  He kept his walking speed at one that Scarface would find easy to do, letting him set the pace and attempting to keep it slow.  He looked at him as they got to the entrance.  

"Fresh air at last," He said to Scarface, "Do you need to rest?  How do you feel?" He asked looking at Scarface before he looked around at what he could see.  


Mim paused as she walked outside looking around, "Ah, nice to be outside and in fresh air again." She said.  Then she looked over at Ali's mother waving, "Hello." She said.  

Diver nodded as she looked around, being glad to be outside.  She looked back at Longtail patting him with one hand, "We are outside of the cave, we certainly are.  Do you want water or some food?" She asked him while patting his head gently.

"Hello to you, too." Ali said. "So these are all of your friends?" She asked.

"You have kept your promise, and so will i." Ali's Mother said. "We will come with you on your search for the Nightflowers, hopefully we will find them faster this way."

"Can you smell it?" - Cayso asks Ecco - "finally some fresh air." - the little Fast-bitter smiled as he can finally see the exit of the caves, but amazed to see a huge Longneck just outside with Littlefoot, Onix, Cyrix and Mim.

Ecco took a deep breath. Yes, I smell it, it¥s so much of comfortable, after you were for such a long time in this sticky cave. He smiled to Ali and her mother as they passed them.

Scarface breathed slowly, that he doesn¥t lost too much energy. No Blue-eye, I am okey, thanks. He looked at Alis mother and got a bit scared because of her size.

Blue eye did his best to continue  holding Scarface up and taking as much of his weight as he could so Scareface's walking was as easy on him as possible.  He breathed in the fresh air he could smell, glad to be out of the cave.  He looked up at Ali's mother then at Scarface, "Large isn't she?" He said, a bit nervous himself at seeing someone so large so close.


Mim noded happy to have the company and help. "That will be of great help.  That should enable us to find it very very easy and quickly then." She said smiling as she looked at Ali's mother.  Then she looked over at Ali, "Hello.  Will you be staying with your herd or coming with your mother?" She asked.  

Diver looked up at Ali's mother, "She is as large as Littlefoot's Grandparents, she certainly is." She said.

"That Longneck is really huge!" - Cayso thought smiling nervously as they approached Ali's mother - "He... hello madam" - Was all that he could said, still with a great mix of edginess and astonishment.

Blue eye nods to what Cayso said, saying a bit nervously, but trying to remain relaxed, "I've never seen anyone so large." He said.  He continued to remain next to Scarface ready to help if he needed it and to have someone to lean on if he needed that help also.

"I'm surprised you all haven't seen many large Longnecks around." Said Ali's Mother.

"I want to come too, i could help with the nightflowers since i've gotten some before." Ali said.

"Well, I have seen Longnecks before... but never from so close, I... never liked the idea to be squished." - Cayso replied to Ali's mother question with a shy smile. But he began feeling much better now, thanks to the fresh air.

Blue eye nodded with what Cayso said.  "I've only seen them for a far away and could not tell how large they were." He said.  


"They can be quite large." Mim said, "And some can find it surprising at first." She rested near with the others.  

"I was surprised when my friends and I got to where the herds that had combined were at how large they were, even compared to my mommy and daddy, I certainly was." Diver said thinking of some of the adventures she and her friends had had.

Cyrix smiled and said "Well, I suspect that this won't be the last time you see a full grown longneck up close." He turned to the others he said "Most longnecks may be big, but they are very gentle."

Oynx smiled flapped his wings, as he smiled and said "Well then...I'm going to be in the sky for a while...just call me down if you need me."

Ecco walked out of the cave with Chiletrek. He took some deep breath, before looking to Chile and began to smile. Well, this air is really good for us, he said. After that cave. I¥ll look around for finding some greenfood to eat. Do you think you can stand on your own, for a little while?

Scarfaces face changed from a shy look into a smile. Well, if you say so, Cyrix. Than I think I won¥t be scared any longer. He said and laughed a bit. You can let me down now Blue-eye. I¥ll rest a bit, and try to find some crawlers around here.

Cayso took another deep breath before answering "Don't worry Ecco, I'll be fine in no time now." - He heard what Scarface said - "And I may use this little time to seek some Crawlers too, that may help me recover even sooner." - Cayso still looked at the Longneck with amazement - "It is still amazing how big Longnecks can be, I bet they can see to very long distances from that height!."

I am sure they can Cayso. With that, Ecco turned away and looked around to find some green food.
