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

Why do you need such advanced weaponry in here , Sir?' " Briggins gave Deimos a look. "This is an hotel, sir, not an arms depot. You've have to give a darn good explanation as to why I should permit such weapons in here.. this is an historic landmark, sir, it was designated as such in 1942" Briggins said.." I will not have  such weapons in here, if they are to protect us from  enemies that exist only in your mind.."

"Come to room 300 and I'll give you a VERY good explanation why we need these munitions." Deimos said.

"Ah, Deimos. I thought you'd be guarding Spyro." Rime said. "I have your lunch."

"Thanks, I'm trying to convince Briggins why we need some heavy weapons."

Zachary and Strut walked out of the dining room.

"Briggins, Deimos is not hallucinating nor are his enemies imaginary. They are real." Strut said. "We were attacked by a white coated man, who was capable of shearing solid metal with his sword. And" Strut bent down to pick up the 2 halves of the crowbar he used to attack Mikoto "this is what he did to one of your crowbars!" Strut placed the 2 halves of the crowbar on the table.

Zachary started heading up the stairs. "I'll guard Spyro."

"I just wish I knew what was going on." The Tourist said.

"You're not the only one." Odysseus said.

"I think I speak for us all when I agree with you." Brooklyn said looking at the Tourist and having the rest of his Traveling companions with Velma too, nodding.

"Maybe we need to all in Charlie Chan, or Solar Pons.  They are good detectives." The Tourist said.

"Solar Pons is the last name Sherlock Holmes was using that I know of.  I've never met Miss Marple personally not have any idea how to get in contact with them." The Tourist said.

"I've never even heard of Miss Marple." Velma said, "I'd vote for Charlie Chan or Solar Pons.  I'd say we need their help here."

"or Mr. Moto." Odysseus said.

"I don't have her number, but I can call Solar Pons or Charlie Chan.  That monster that Velma told me about and the guy in white must have done some murders here.  I'm sure one of them can solve the murders and such here.  I've not the faintest idea how to solve a mystery myself.  " The Tourist said.

"I just know how to hack and shoot stuff.  But I do have Mr. Moto's number." Odysseus said.

"Then maybe I best use the 1 shot item the emperor made me and get to korodos.  I'm no help here." The Tourist said.

"unless I can hack or shoot something I'm not." Odysseus said.

"I am also here." Velma said.

"I'm no detective, that is Broadway's thing." Brooklyn said.  

"I'm useless here, and sam is only good for biting or eating someone." ian said finishing his big mac and sipping his root beer.

"There is nothing I can do against ghosts." The Tourist said.

"My sword will go right through a ghost just like air, the same as my gun's bullets." Odysseus said.

"I've not studied a discussing and illegal branch of magic like Necromancy, nor nethermancy for that matter." Sara said.

"I'm just tagging along, I don't know nothing about ghosts nor magic." Ian said.

"I am pretty much the same." Brooklyn said.

"I've never even seen any ghosts, except fake ones and don't know what to do in any case."

(OOC - where is Mikoto?)

Deimos led Briggins to room 300.  Zachary was already present with his ax at the ready.

Deimos opened the door and showed Spyro's bandaged injury to Briggins. "This is what that white coated assailant did to one of your guests! And after you're done absorbing that, I can show you the assailant.

-------------

Dr. Kerzach was inside the kitchen and exploring the backrooms when he stumbled upon a reddish crystal. He was about to pick the crystal up when Haresh grabbed him.

"Ah, shouldn't you be working?" Haresh asked, his voice had a menacing quality to it.

"I was on my way back to work. And let go of me." Dr. Kerzach said.

"No, I can't let go of you."

"Let go of me!" Dr. Kerzach commanded.

"I can't."

Dr. Kerzach reached inside his labcoat. " Let go of me or I will use force!"

"What force." Haresh asked, his face forming into a sneer.

In one smooth motion, Dr. Kerzach pulled out his switchblade and opened it. "I was not kidding." he said coldly, brandishing his switchblade.

Haresh snapped his fingers and vanished; in his place several solid appearing images of cooks, each wielding some kind of kitchen utensil as a weapon appeared.

Dr. Kerzach narrowed his eyes. "So you wish to fight is it?"

------------

Strut entered the kitchen for more food when he heard voices. He readied his shovel and saw Dr. Kerzach surrounded by the cooks, who seemed intent on attacking him.

"Yo we got a situation in the kitchen!" Strut shouted.

He then entered the kitchen and swung his shovel into the head of the nearest cook, who was brandishing a fillet knife. The blow dropped the cook to the ground and the body vanished.

You guys aren't useless" Tarrax said. "Oh, and Sara.. I almost forgot.. "I brought you something" Tarrax pulled a knapsack out of mid-air scrounged in it forawhile, then finally came up with a large box of chocolates, and bouquet of flowers. "These are for you" He said, slightly embarassed. "Do you have a place to put them?"

Sara smiled, a bit embarrassed , "Thanks, they are beautiful .  I have an area back at my home on Korodos, and an area in my rooms in the tardis I've enchanted to be a sort of stasis area, since the tardis' stasis field generators don't really work anymore.  & a vase I have in that area." Sara said accepting the gifts with a large smile & smelling the flowers.  "No one's given me anything like these before, they are all wonderful." Sara said again to Tarrax.


"Nothing we can do.  If I can get the piece of junk tardis to work I could visit some friends of mine who live in another city in the mid 1970's, Spencer, Tracy, and Kong.  They are, or were, ghostbusters and they could help you.  They are a bit goofy, but they've never failed on a case yet." The Tourist Said.  

"Tracy, isn't he the gorilla?" Odysseus asks The Tourist.

"Yes, and the only one of them with a driver's license." The Tourist said.

"Are Tracy and Professor, I mean King Moran related?"  Brooklyn asked.

"Not that I know of.  " The Tourist said.  "As for the no good piece of junk tardis I need to have all that worthless Gallifreyan technology yanked out and replaced with reliable Victorian England technology, and some korodos magitec, and tech-magi, and artificer items. "I think it worked for almost a week as it did since it was a new thoroughly tested model, and not a museum piece, nor cutting edge but reliable technology."

  Tarrax looked at the Tourist. "Are they in the phone book? We could just call them, and hire them on to help us with cleaning this place.."

The Tourist shook his head, "I'm going to quit, go to Korodos and live there full time never leaving there again.  If you want I can contact the emperor and have them brought here.  If they are in the phone book they'd be in their 60's or 70's maybe.   I only ran across them in the mid 1970's."

"I can't with a no good tardis.  I've never had one that works more then a few days at most.  According to ancient gallifrayan records someone called The Doctor stole an old tardis in for repairs and his worked better then mine and I'm no rogue time lord nor stole mine.  I'm going to quit and retire to Korodos.  [cencored] even some criminal time lords, including some who were later disintegrated after their trial had tardises that worked perfectly.  Whoever wants to come to me to Korodos can.  As imperial prince I can have one of the imperial wizards return you home.  I'm sure the emperor won't mind someone being returned to their home after a visit." The Tourist said totally fed up with everything.

"why don't you guys go see a movie in town? 'Movies are entertainment which will allow you to forget about the tardis for awhile.. Back in my time, we had traveling ministrels, today, they show stories on a screen. I'm Sure some of the guests will take you along with them. Pretty much everyone wants to get out of this hotel , for a little bit at least." Merlin said.. " Goi ask Shaggy.. I'm sure He'll be glad to take you a ong..

How would you like to see a movie Sara?' Tarrax asked. " Brooklyn, Touriust, you guys are welcome to come as well. you can get whatever food and drink you want I'll pay for everything.." He smiled. "How long has it been , Tourist, since you've seen a movie?"
