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

Longtail was surprised these three had gotten the jump on their team. But in the confusion he noticed one of the Sickleclaws had Kit held to the ground and as quietly as he could charged forward picking up speed and spun around bringing his stick into the sickleclaws face and then he pounced onto his back and began scratching and biting.

The sickleclaw leapt back, forgetting the other flyer now with this one attacking him. Kit took the opportunity and dodged out, yet delivered her own blow to the gut on her way out.

Eitherway Longtail's assault seemed to be more annoying than any actions of herself and he struggled to swipe out and get a hit at the flyer on his back, but to no avail. He sidelonged over towards the rock wall hoping to maybe knock the flyer off that way...

Meanwhile, thus freed and with Misty's action proving some distraction, Kit dodged in to try and grab the stone hammer as Deimos had suggested. She gripped the top at least and flapped up, pulling with all her might.

Deimos's grip was loosening and was finally broken when the Runner elbowed him in the stomach. The Runner grabbed his war hammer and tried to pull Kit down to the ground.

Mr. Bigmouth dodged a spear thrust and retaliated with an ax blow that snapped the spear in half. He closed in but the sickleclaw tripped him and stomped his back, leaving Mr. Bigmouth on the ground and in severe pain. The sickleclaw grabbed Mr. Bigmouth's ax and tried to strike him in the head but Deimos took advantage of the confusion to hit the sickleclaw's ax with a well aimed rock, breaking the head. The sickleclaw turned to face Deimos and that was when an even larger rock struck the sickleclaw full in the face, knocking him unconscious.

The sickleclaw who Lori had struck closed in and swiped at Lori with his club. Littlefoot charged the sickleclaw and delivered a strong headbutt cracked a few of  the sickleclaw's ribs but was repaid with a powerful blow to his side. The many gashes caused by the club started to bleed. Littlefoot continued attacking but another club blow caused him to stagger away, dripping blood behind him.

Lori tried to duck out of the way of the club, but it caught her arm and she gasped in pain, her arm went limp. She growled and leapt onto the sickleclaw's back, digging in with the claws on her feet and her one good arm, while she attacked the back of his neck with her tooth-filled mouth. The sickleclaw managed to shake her off and Lori landed on her bad arm.

Longtail groaned in pain as his head met contact with the rock. He slid off the sickleclaws back and landed on his feet, he took the moment to try and bite his opponets neck, and then lashed out with his tail trying to strike. "Come on...I thought Sickleclaws were supposed to be tough." he taunted.

In shock, Kit felt herself pulled down with the momentum of the runner's tug on the hammer, and a hard collision with the ground felt like it did either bruise or sprain her left wing, but she couldn't tell yet.

She dodged around the hammer being brought down to finish the job, though and in seeing an option, grabbed the runner's hand which held the club and bit hard with her beak.

As the runner cried in pain and dropped the hammer, Kit grabbed it and flew upward, finding the weight hard to handle but do-able.

"You're...too dangerous with this" she said, gaining altitude with the club. It was as she was debating where to go with the club, that it slipped from her talons mid flight and twirled down to hit the sickle-claw about to finish the job with an injured Lori.

Kit flinched, yet then sighed as she saw that it was a good hit. She flapped down to see if those hit by him were alright  though.

"Lori, Littlefoot, you guys ok?" she called.

Although Misty was shocked at her rock driving home, she moved quickly past it though and leapt out, seeing the trouble Longtail was having...well...she couldn't tell if it was trouble, but still one more aid might help.

"Nah, they're just big hatchlings!" Misty called just to get a response and the sickle-claw to turn to her before she let her rock fly...

The falling stone hammer killed the sickleclaw with the club.

The remaining sickleclaw ignored Misty, dodged back from Longtail's bite attack and grabbed his tail and tried to slam him to the ground.

Deimos went over to the unconscious sickleclaw and broke his neck by stomping it. He grabbed a rock on the ground and nodded to Misty. "We'll hit him at the same time."

"I'm fine, I ll just need to see Mr. Bigmouth." Littlefoot panted.

With a nod, Misty let her rock fly at the same time as Deimos to finish off the last sickle-claw.

With a nod, Kit flapped over to where Mr. Bigmouth was as quick as she could, and gave one simple bit of news, "Littlefoot's been hurt".

The sickleclaw was simultaneously struck by the rocks and fell. Deimos grabbed the stone war hammer and crushed his skull before he could get back up.

Mr. Bigmouth was getting onto his feet. "I'll see what I can do. I'll need to head back to my grove."

Lori groaned as she rolled onto her feet. Her good arm went to hold her injured one, which was dangling at her side. She flinched in pain and stiffled a roar of pain, which came out as a strangled hiss. "I think my arm got hit pretty badly."

Longtail groaned and pushed himself off the ground from where he'd been thrown by the sickle claw. He looked around and shook his head to clear his senses, and noticed Lori's hurt arm. He then stepped over to her and asked,
"Are you okay?"

Kit nodded, "Then maybe we should get to the grove, I think Lori's hurt too". Misty sighed in relief that the threat was dealt with, but like Kit had pointed out, they weren't out of the woods yet.

"Here" she pulled a few leaves she could find, "maybe we should make a sling for that arm until we can see what can be done" she said.

Longtail nodded.
"Yeah, good idea Kit. Let me help you." said Longtail as he stepped over and pikced up a few vines and waited for Kit to place the leaves so he could warp the vines around them.

"Thanks" Kit said. "Now don't worry Lori, I'll be as gentle as I can" she said before placing the leaves for Longtail to then tie up.

Deimos was assisting in cleaning Littlefoot's wounds. He found several stalkts that oozed clear sap. He used the sap to cover the wounds.

Littlefoot flinched as the cool sap flowed into the deep cuts on his back. "Thanks Deimos. We should get to Mr. Bigmouth."

Deimos nodded. "The plant I used is good for emergencies but we need something longer lasting."

Longtail nodded as Kit held the plants in place, and he began to tie the plants together with the vines in his hands. He tied several knots and asked, "How does that feel Lori, or do I need to tighten the vines some more?"

Lori flinched away from them for a moment, before she relaxed, figuring that whatever they were was similiar to the meidcal knowledge that her mom knew.

"Um, I don't know," Lori said, unsure of exactly how the sling was supposed to feel. "I guess it's okay..."

"Well, you won't have to hold it all the time now anyway" Kit shrugged, finding at least some good in the plan.

"Yeah" Misty admitted, "Hmm, but I don't know if those leaves will help Littlefoot's injury".

Deimos shook his head. "He needs something like sickleclaw paste. Mr. Bigmouth has a batch but I'm not sure if the attackers stole it."

Mr. Bigmouth shook his head. "Unfortunately, the powder I used to stun my attackers tends to contaminate things. If my herbs are contaminated; I have to burn them. "

"Then...what do we do?" Misty asked, knowing even Lori's arm might need further help. In the back of her mind it hit Kit how she hadn't tried to fly on her sprained, at least, wing, but she didn't want to say anything now and make further trouble...
