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

"I need some herbs." Said Argaya. "Can someone help me find some?"

"Listen...to...Argaya...She...knows...what...she...is...doing." Said Vylor, his breathing still labored.

Longtail nodded and said "Just tell my uncle and Mim what we need and they can find it quicker than any of us can!" Cyrix then nodded just like his nephew and replied "I already know what leaves we need, I'll be right back!" and with that he was off into the nearby trees grabing what he needed.

Mim went off to get what was needed.  She picked up herbs and leaves looking for what was needed.  She got some other stuff that may be needed that she had learned from far walkers, her parents and from personal experience and came back with them once she had gathered what she could carry.  


Petrie decided to remain behind knowing he could not carry much, but could help in another way, patting Vylor telling him he'll be fine before he knew it.


"Any way we can help?" Liittlefoot asked.


"Yes, we want to help too if we can, yes we do." Ducky said agreeing.

Cyrix returned as well carrying what he could and set them down, he then looked to Mim and said "Let's get started shall we? We have a young one to heal."

Mim set the stuff she had brought back next to Cyrix's.  At what Cyrix said she nodded and started helping Cyrix to do what they could.  Littlefoot and Ducky watched as they went about what they were doing.  Littlefoot kept watch trying to learn what they were doing so he could know what to do in the future something like this happened again so he could be better help then.

Cyrix then let a worried look cross his face, but only for a moment, as he had an idea! "Longtail please come here." the young flyer complied and walked over to his uncle and immediately Cyrix gave Longtail instructions "Use your head and crack this nut." Longtail grinned and giggled as he did what he was told and smashed heis head with tremendous force against the nut and it did indeed crack, and CYrix finished the medicine that he hoped would help heal Vylor's wounds.

Mim gathered some leaves and herbs, preparing them to put onto Vylor's ankle.  She kept the mud to one side.   She continued preparing things and arranging things so they could more easily be gotten to an seen.  She wondered for a moment if Longtail had bruised himself with cracking the nut but he seemed ok.  She thought his head must be as hard as a domehead's to do that.

"We should probably keep that ankle still, so we should get some vines and long sticks." said Argaya.

"Thanks, it feels a lot better now, but Argaya is right." Vylor said, his breathing now smoother.

Mim pointed to where she had some, "I have some there, including some mud to help immobilize the leg.  Through experimenting and observation I've noted that weaving in grass in a certain ration increases the strength of the dried mud, though that may not be needed unless the leg is actually broken." She said as she finished her preparing the various things she was doing.

Ducky nods, "I saw someone with a hurt ankle that had some mud on it, I did." She said.  

"Guess for any sort of hurt one can do many things to help." Littlefoot said, hoping to could remember at least some of what he saw and would see them doing so he could be of more help next time.

"It would be smart to stiffen the leg to prevent further injury until we are sure it has fully healed." Said Argaya.

"It still prickles painfully." Said Vylor.

Cyrix nodded and said "Yes Mim may be right, but still I would say better safe than sorry. I would use the sticks anyway, after all there is no absolute way to be sure Vylor didn't break his leg." Longtail's head was kinda sore after cracking that nut, but he didn't say anything. 'Best just let my uncle keep working on the more serious condition.' he thought.

"Can you bring me the supplies? I can take it from there." Said Argaya.

"Well, next time I won't be so clumsy while running. Good thing you were there Argaya, else it might have been a lot worse." Commented Vylor.

Cyrix nodded and replied "It is a good thing you two look out for each other...it's a sign of good friendship, and strong hearts." However Longtail wasn't feeling to great at the moment that pain in his head was feeling alot worse than it should have....'Feels like I'm having a tre stump driven into my head...pointy end first!' thought the flyer to himself. He momentarily walked away from the group and almost immediately he could hear her voice once more.

'My son....you know he is coming and if he enters this valley...your life will never be the same.'

"We are not just friends; we are brother and sister. We care for each other more than anybody else." The two longnecks said together.

"I was thinking of applying any medicine first, then the sticks and vines then the mud on top, that should form a hard combined structure to keep the area immobile, but still allow him to walk on it as long as he is careful.  A useful thing for farwalkers." Mim said.

"Apply the medication first. It will do much better for him than the other option." Said Argaya

"I'm ready." Said Vylor

Mim picked up some tree bark offering it to Vylor, "If you are in pain you can chew or eat some of this, it may not taste as good as a tree star but it does relieve pain." She said.  She then looked at Cyrix, "Ready to get started on his ankle?"

Cyrix nodded at Mim and replied "Lets' get to work! And don't worry Vylor, you are in safe hands." he smiled after that sentence and helped Mim wrap Vylor's leg.

Mim worked with Cyrix on Vylor's ankle.  She left the treebark she had offered, unless he takes all of it, within his reach.  She focused on doing the best for his ankle but causing the lest pain that she could and working with what Cyrix was doing so the two of them worked as a team instead of each doing their own thing.  

Littlefoot watched, from a distance to keep out of the way.  Ducky watched out of curiosity.

While Cyrix and Mim tended to Vylor's wounded ankle, Longtail had perched himself on a nearby rock, and promptly fallen asleep. His sleep stories were numerous and many didn't make sense, but tan again not alot of them had to especially where he was concerned.

Cyrix on the other hand while working together as a team with Mim, he could suddenly feel a click...something he couldn't describe, but whatever it was he enjoyed it, it gave a sense of joy, and as such he started humming as he continued to cover and brace Vylor's ankle.
