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

so we have roughly sixty pounds of bloodroot.. we're going to need more than that, however, given the devastation wrecked upon Neptune City, anything that limits thier ability to fight is useful..' Stripetail said.. Now, we can't poison their water supply, as we'll need that water for the refugess.. what we can do is spread it out over a large area., Now does it need to be ingested to be effective or can it be absorbed through the skin?
- Alright We'll disperse them using the enchanted arrows.. now we need to cut off thier supplies ' Capturing Arkan AFB will retard thier ability to fight..once Arkan falls most of the territory they now controiol will soon be back in our hands..' Captain Milos said.

Genki meanwhile was chowing down on the food " gotta have enough energy for the fight tomorrow" he grinned munching on a piece of fruit.. " yeah, we wouldn't want you to fall asleep in battle " tigress said ' Hey Tiger, want to dance with me at the party tonight?
_ Tigeress! I don't dance, i tried to dance with you at the last party, and well I'm not a dancer.."
- could t\you sing then? Tigress asked " Um.. no, I'm not a singer either.
- Angel chimed in " Mesa love to dance and sing " she said cheerily, as she and Angel chased each other over the tables, disturbing a number of guest who were trying to eat..
 Mimi and sora were planning on how to divide the dances ' While Matt was finetuning his guitar and both Biyomon and Agumina were encouraging Agumon to play the guitar again..

"We can use subsonic or ultrasonic attacks.  To interfear with their balance, make them pass out puke, ect.  The effects subsonics and ultra sonics on the body can be varied." Odysseus said.

"I was able to handle the raw root without problems but the concentrate may be different. Ingesting it is extremely dangerous and I wager inhalation would be just as dangerous. Of course, I may decide to collaborate with some of the other Great Valley dinosaurs and see what other herbal weapons we can create," Mr. Bigmouth said, sipping the beer he had ordered from a waiter.

"Mr. Bigmouth what about using smaller bombs to cover more of an area?" Clive suggested.

"That may work too."

Mr. Bigmouth then headed upstairs to take a shower.

Two more volunteers ran out of the portal with two wheelbarrows full of bloodroot plants.

Three volunteers carried in a crate of food from the supply base at Southport.

Deimos glanced at Captain Milos. "Excellent thinking!" he said. "Now we may not need to totally level it; in fact that would be counterproductive as we should put it to use for ourselves."

He then took a sip of some essential water. "Now the main problem is that we do not have any bombers," he added.

Dr. Zanasiu sat down to watch a martial arts demonstration by some Great Valley dinosaurs who had volunteered to perform for the party later. "That will not be a problem, the flight troopers, Sara, Tarrax, Spyro and Cynder should suffice. We may also be able to modify a heavy lift helicopter to serve as an improvised bomber," he said.

Using a form of Vertigo,eh? that  can be absolutely devastating ' Briggins replied those are all possibilties :' Now sir, what do you think? he asked looking at Toddy Roosevelt.
_ Ingesyttion and Inhalation are two ways, and what about whjat happens when hangndled and comes in contact with skin? what sort of physical syptoms does it induce " stripetail asked ' as this was not a plant he knew muchabout- being from a different world and  era from which the plant grew-he would need information from those who had seen it used befoire and been victimized by it as well..
 W\you and your uncle have done a great job" tarrax said beaming as Sara " would you like to dance with me again at the party?"

"The intact root is harmless but the sap inside can cause serious burns on contact with skin," Ms. Swimmer said.

"A blister agent, eh?" Deimos said. "I had hoped it would be a nerve agent but we can't be picky unless we want to do bioprospecting in the Great Valley."

Sara smiled and used her right hand to caress Tarrax's chest, "I'd love to dance with you." She said, "and thanks for the compliment." Sara said to Tarrax.

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

Teddy nodded, "A mixture of those may give the extra punch we need.  Imagine those who will be effected by both that root and subsonic stuff." Teddy said punching the air a bit with his fist for emphases.

Odysseus nodded, "Vertigo can be very devastating."

"And hard to fight while experiencing it." Brooklyn said.

Mr. Bigmouth returned from his shower. He had a new rifle, a new bow and a new quiver full of arrows at the ready. "Any more suggestions?" he asked.

"Hey didn't we use to use an oil we pressed from a plant to make our torches burn brighter and longer? "Ms. Swimmer asked.

Mr. Bigmouth nodded. "The oil is very runny, it will only work if soaked into something like a vine or something. It burns fairly hot though but still, it would not be a viable weapon as we have white phosphorous grenades that are far deadlier," he said.

"What about 'linking' the grenades to form large bombs?" Rime asked.

yes that could work, the risk we ran with linking is that if one bomb is detonated in the link, all the others will detonate in a chain reaction.Captain Milos said. 'Now , how many bombs should be linked together? 4, 5 6?"
 Five I think" stripetail said 'from his seat now how much terrotory will we need to conquer before getting in range of the base?
_ Chong stopped in front of the base, and began to explore what was left.. " Now much of anything left for our use.. most of buildings have been destroyed' Chong waved his hangs and spirit minions moved around to collect debris. "We must fortify Arkan.." he said. " if that is retaken our supplies will be drastically cut..

"And how far can the base detect us from?  Also can we jam their communications somehow while allowing our forces to remain in contact with each other." Odysseus said.

"And what sort of tactics are the best to use and what mission does each team have or will they all have the same mission goals?" Brooklyn asked.

"And with at least a mage there we can't send in an invisible mage eye sort of spell for a quick spying mission." Moran said.  

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

"Hope you're not to tired dear." Sara said to Tarrax.

Rime pulled out his PDA. "Arkan AFB is south of us but various garrisons and other defensive structures await us en route. And they surround the whole base," he said.

"One problem with these large bombs? How the f--- are we supposed to deliver them to their targets!?" Deimos asked.

Several more volunteers passed by with buckets and wheelbarrows of bloodroot plant.

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

A Bison soldier heaved a ruined safe out of the 10th story window in an attempt to open it. The safe had been left behind when the Sang-Heili troopers evacuated.

The safe's door popped off from the impact and revealed some documents.

That will be up to the dragons" stripetail replied' Spyro and Cynder's armor will protect them from any effects of the bloodroot, and Tarrax and Saras magic will likewise protect them.incedia will have to get armor in order to carry the bombs though.."
_ Chong picked up the documents, which included layourts of the city and the base.. hmm. these could prove interesting.. aha. they had an undergrounf storage facility with a cache of incedinaries and other bombs! This will be VERY useful' Chong smiled. the safe also contained 3 folders full of cash "hmm. they hid valuables in that safe no doubt..' Chong said taking the envelopes and outting them into his pocket, he would count the money later, after repairs were done to thebase..

"We can seal the bloodroot inside so they can be handled without armor," Mr. Bigmouth said.

"So who's doing the filling?" Rime asked.

"Haresh, myself  and Setsuna have charms that protect them from poisons. Not to mention we have several soldiers who have haz-mat suits so we have enough personnel to handle fill them."

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

Several of the workers were using battering rams and sledgehammers to try and get into the magazine where the Sang-Heili base stored its munitions.

Several other workers and minions were trying to repair the airstrip so it could be used.

"I prefer just lining them up against the wall and opening up on them with a mounted machine gun," Deimos said.

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

Dirk gasped as he watched a Ceela - mounted atop a Clubtail - pivot and shoot an arrow at a fruit about 50 yards away; her mount also quickly spun an smashed a fruit on the ground just as Ceela shot the distant fruit.

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

Meanwhile, Haresh had transmuted some scrap metal into bomb casings. He carefully filled a garbage bag with the warm bloodroot extract and placed it inside the casings. When he was done with that, a soldier carefully placed sandwich bags filled with explosive pebbles inside the bag containing the poison and sealed it shut by tying several knots in it.. The rest of the bomb was packed with similar explosive pebbles and riveted shut by another soldier.

The bomb was then carried off to a custom build magazine by some some haz-mat clad soldiers driving a large truck.

"Sounds pretty good.  As long as none of our side is harmed in the delivery or making of the bombs." Odyssues said.  

"Yes, a party will help keep up the morale and be an outlet for certain things and let people unwind a bit, as much as one can given the circumstances." Brooklyn said.

"That is very skilled." Jason said.

"It is." Guilmon said.  

"Me surprised at how good they are." petrie said.  

"They are good, they are, they are." Ducky said nodding.

Ceela dismounted the Clubtail as soon as she shot the last fruit, which was placed in a tree.

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

Mr. Bigmouth's radio went off. He picked it up and his face grew stony.

"Kerzach, get the medical team ready," he said.

"What happened?" Rime asked, opening a bottle of soda.

"Some non-protected workers got too close and the concentrated extract got on them."

Soon, Dr. Kerzach, Clive and the Lipizzaners went to get their medical supplies.
