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

"Well, maybe that will work." Said Mr. Threehorn. "But If one of the rocks happen to slip or something and it DOES all come whooshing out, that will be an even harder problem to fix."

"I guess you just want to quit and go home then." Ducky and Spike's mother said a bit annoyed with her hands on her hips.


"We can have some who can keep a lookout to see if any rocks seem to be about to move in a dangerous way, a rock or landslide." Mrs flyer suggested.

Grandpa Longneck then sighed and said "I'm afraid if the water does get any faster we may not be able to stop it. And that would put all of us in danger not just the young ones." He then nodded to what Mama Flyer said. "Yes that would be an excellent idea." he said in agreement

*Twilight then speaks up.*

Twilight: But everyone, these aren't pebbles we're talking about. These are huge boulders we're talking about pushing. We already left some behind to watch the children, now we need to leave some to not push so they can keep lookout? We need all the muscle we can get, I think we should be certain before we start to push.

As Cayso keep watching Mim's work on Ecco's ancle, he tells his friend: "I wonder how bad will be the problem you are having with the water, because there are some movement since I got here." - he worries a bit - "I just hope the problem will not affect the Beyond and specially my herd."

Let¥s hope that it isn¥t like that, Ecco answered. But I can¥t tell you much, because of the fact, I didn¥t see anything. I just was sitting here, waiting for the others return.

Mrs flyer and Swimmer nodded to what Twilight said.  

"I would not hurt to look the areas over and see if some of us can see where some dangerous areas are and which rocks may be most likely to fall if others are moved." Mrs flyer said.

"And some of those who can can look under water at the rocks and area where those not visible on the surface may be a danger also." Mrs. Swimmer said.

Min continued working on Ecco's ankle with Cyrix finishing up her part.  "There, that should take care of your ankle till it gets better on it's own.  It should not take long." She then looked around at the rest of the group.  "Does anyone else have any injuries you want looked at?" She asked.

Littlefoot shook his head, "Not me, how about the rest of you guys?" He asked looking around at the others.

"Mim is correct, your ankle will be as good as new in no time" - Cayso took another look at the work Mim did. - "Maybe you should take a look at the ones that came from the river's... ehh, rescue" - He talked to Mim referring to Longtail and Zaine.

Mim nods, "You'll be back to dancing like a yellowbelly in no time." She said to Ecco, then she looked at the others, any of you need any treatment for your injuries?" She asked looking at the others.

Ecco gave a short smile and said thanks to Mim and Cyrix. Yes, you are right Cayso, maybe there are also some other folks with injuries.

"Pfft...I'm fine." was Longtail's only response, but then he sneezed and a blush came over his face. Cyrix rolled his eyes and sighed as he looked to mim and said "I'm going to check on my nephew...I'll be right back."

He walked over to Longtail and put his hand to his nephew's head and frowned..."My my, what a fever you have...perhaps I should take you back to the nest...unless Mim knows any way to fight off a fever with what's nearby."

~~~~~

Grandpa longneck smiled and said "Yes, having another swimmer look underwater is an excellent idea...and it seems we have arrived at where we need to be." The elderly longneck looked up to see the Thundering falls barren and were indeed no longer flowing....he sighed remembering what had happened the last time this occurred.

"Well let's get to work everyone." replied Grandpa longneck as he stepped towards the  first boulder

"I cannot really help with fevers, because I don't know the Valley's herbs. Maybe Longtail may just need some rest unless... Mim, yes, unless Mim knows how to fight fevers." - Cayso remained near Ecco, he then asked. - "Are there Grown-ups trying to solve this problem you have with the river?, I wonder because if that's the case I'd like to know where they are... I would not like the idea of them been near my herd."

Mim nods, "I know of some what should help." Mim said thinking over the various plants that she knew.  "That and some rest, though with what's going on rest may be a thing we all may not get enough of for a bit, though things may well work out for the best."

Mim listened to what Cayso said.  "Some flyers were going to follow the area where the water use to flow up to see if there is some sort or blockage or other reason the water stopped flowing. "

Littlefoot nodded, "Maybe it got blocked, it happened before after an earthshake." Littlefoot said.  He looked at his friends in the gang who were present.  "You guys remember, after Chomper left with his parents but before Ali's herd visited here and we met her for the first time."



(OOC: for some of those confused Littlefoot is referring to the events in the 3rd movie.))

Cyrix nodded and smiled as he said "Well I don't think Longtail resting will be a problem..." As he turned around with Longtail in his arms, it was clear that his nephew was fast asleep snoring softly. "I still think we should gather some herbs for him...just in case."

Mim nods, "And put them next to him so he can eat them when he wakes up." She said then headed out to look for some of the herbs she knew that should help Longtail.

Ecco, who was still watching his ancle, tried to stand up. And it worked. Yeah, thank you very much Mim and Cyrix. I can stand up again. He smiled at them and walked, though it looked a bit silly, down the stones where he was sitting.

"Mim did a great work indeed, but don't overdo yourself Ecco." - Cayso looked at his friend getting down those stones while eating a crawler he just found.

Mim went to some various nearby places to get some herbs that she had learned would help those with a fever or were not feeling well.

Littlefoot nodded to what the others had said.  "Yes, it is best that you take it easy and not to do anything that may hurt your ankle again.  Though it does look you can walk around a little at least." he said.

Mrs. Flyer nodded and went towards some rocks that she could move while Mrs swimmer motioned to some other adult swimmers and then headed towards the rocks in the water.  Some of them looked to see what the situation was like underwater while some stayed nearby in case some got in trouble and needed help out of the water while they started moving some rocks carefully as well.

"If something I have learned is that Ecco is tougher than he looks" - Cayso replied to Littlefoot with a smile - "He'll recover soon."
