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

The group deposited the pieces of mithril they had collected so far into the knapsack, or handed them over to the tourist.

"I was bored and curious," Sparx said leaning against the wall. "And to tell the truth I was hoping to find some way out of that two weeks punishment thing."

So did you peep through the keyhole? What did you see?" Dixie asked nonchalantly.. Inwardly she was cursing, Sparx had probably overheard her profession of love for Cynder, and Cynder's return of that love. But if he had seen them kissing through the keyhole.. that would be the worst possible outcome...

"We want to help too." Ducky said who looked at Petrie, Snoopy & Skitter who nodded.  The Tourist reached into his coat and pulled out a rolled up hat.  He held the brim between his thumb & index finger.  He then used the index finger of his other hand to draw an open circle and touched the hatband, going around half way around the hatband then left the hatband to drag his finger up to the top.  He then handed the hat to Ducky.

"I've activated the temporary extra storage so just fill that." He said.  Ducky, Petrie and snoopy got started with that, Skitter picked up a piece at a time and dropped it into one of the other's hands so they could put it into the hat.  The Tourist started to pick up some mithril, & accepted some from others and put it into one of his coat pockets that he usually kept empty.

Brooklyn looked at Nick, "Do you need any furniture or something else moved?" He asked.

Merlim walked out slowly to the Dining room to check on the recovery effort. He looked at a nearby pile of Mithril. "So these rocks are worth as much as a kingdom" He said, amazed...

"Too bad, I didn't gain this information while I was in here then?" Sparx smirked. "And no, I didn't. I slide under the bottom of the door."

Wataru managed to isolate Nago in a corner of the room away from Taiga and whispered to him. "Is it okay if I invite Taiga to your wedding?"

Nago glanced over at the Fangire king who was on the other side of the room gathering mithril. "It's fine."

Brooklyn nodded, "You want both saved? Anywhere where I should put them?" He asked looking at Nick.

Dixie Clenched her fist and  showed Sparx her ring. 'This ring can wipe your memory clean, Sparx... All I have to do is say the word, and you won't remember anything..." She bared her teeth in a low growl... "How much did you see?"

"That's abusing your powers," Sparx said, suddenly looking rather nervous. "And I'm not telling you how much you need to erase. Nope, nope, nope."

Odysseus put the last bit of mithral he had picked up into the knapsack then went over to where Brooklyn was, "I'll help you with that." He said.

"Ok, let's go." Brooklyn said with a thumbs up.  "Anywhere you want them put in particular?" He asked looking at Nick.

One could almost hear the sound of cash register bells dinging as Sparx's eyes went wide. "I'll keep quiet. I don't want to get Spyro any madder at me then he already is anyway."

"We better go move our bikes someplace safe," Taiga said.

"Good idea," Nago said. "If I let the IXAllion get blown up, I'll be paying for it for the rest of my life.

Good." Dixie smiled. " You'll get all you want to eat, pizza, ice cream, steak, chicken, you name it..Now tell me what you saw upstairs... and don't leave anything out.."  She had managed , via a combination of threats and bribery, to diffuse what could have been a very very serious threat.
"
30 minutes" Stripetail called out.. 10 more minutes to go..

Brooklyn nodded and he went with Odysseus to get started on moving Nick's bed and mattress outside, then the other stuff mentioned 1 at a time.

Rime radioed the group outside. "Zachary, Deimos come here and help us pack!"

Rime then overturned a wrecked table and grabbed the several pieces of mithril that had rolled under it.

Deimos and Zachary walked into the cafe.

"Do you need any help?" Deimos asked.

"Zach, get the so called 'Insulting Mirror' in the bathroom. Deimos, help me look for anything of these silver chunks." Rime said,

Zachary went into the bathroom and removed the mirror, which he had tucked under his arm. "Hey, where does this mirror go?"

Deimos overturned a large slab of concrete and revealed a fairly large chunk of Mithril which was placed in Rime's backpack.

"This one is full." Rime said "We've got at least a hundred pounds of metal in here, probably more."

"I'll take it." Deimos said. With that said, he placed the backpack on his back.

"Hey Nick, we found about a hundred pounds of silver metal and it's in Deimos's backpack. I'll come back and get some more."

Rime and Strut then left the cafe.

"No thanks. I'm fine. Go back inside and help pack." Deimos said to Stitch.

Zachary placed the mirror near Dr. Zanasiu and the rest of the group. He went back in to help.

"I'll carry the 6 Shurlups in the pen." Zachary said. Being an anthropomorphic Clydesdale meant that he could easily lift and move objects that even Olympic weightlifters would find heavy.  

Rime had the other backpack and was filling it with mithril. He started digging out a piece of mithril buried under a large pile of debris.
