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

"Maybe we should go to the cave, it may be warmer there, or it might rain, it may, it may." Ducky said looking at the others.

"Good thinking, follow me guys!" instructed Chomper.

"Ok." Littlefoot said and got up.  Ducky sat up from where she was laying down and got up on Spike's back with Littlefoot helping to lift her part of the way.

Trod didn't look at Cyrix or Veil at first, he kept staring at the horizon for some more moments, he then sighed and went down from the tree. - "I am looking for my sister, it was me and a Flyer in the search at first, but we were attacked and got separated. I was forced to flee and restarted the search by myself when I got stranded here." - there is frustration in Trod's eyes. - "I am sorry, but I cannot say more at the moment, if you don't mind."

Cyrix's gaze reflected how he felt as he said with a saddened tone, "I'm sorry for your loss Trod, but you should know that as long as you believe your sister is alive there is always a chance to find her again, and I know you'll find her."

"Yeah" Twiz added, "Ya can't give up that family is still alive and well even when they're not there...I know that 'cause...well I worry about where my dad is lots of times, but I know he's probably doing fine".

He smiled, "You'll find your sister and I'll see my dad again...probably not as soon as you'll find your sister" he admitted. It was on the tip of his tongue to ask about this flyer that had been with Trod and his sister...but Twiz knew that was probably a dead end. Somehow he just knew.

"Yeah, me no want to get stuck in skywater" Petrie said as he followed the others. "Yep, that would not be good" Kit added, "it gets you all cold along with not being able to fly".

"Well the puddles are fun" Cory said, "and I plan to go find some tomorrow after we do all get some rest".

"Yes, maybe some nice large puddles we can all jump in, or water large enough to have fun in." Ducky said, "That would be neat, it would, it would."

"It does sound kinda fun." Littlefoot said, "As long as the water isn't to deep." He said.

"Ok, but we better get you guys to a cavern today," Chomper called, leading them to the one he showed them earlier.

He then followed his parents back to their nest.

"I know what loss is like, but I know you'll find your loved ones again," Veil comforted.

Petrie looked around the cave they were in. He trusted that Chomper would have known there wasn't anything else living in the cave before picking it out, so he tried to be comforted by this, yet couldn't help wondering; especially as Chomper left.

"Hmm, well this'll do real well I think" Cory said. "Yeah" Kit added with a nod, "and there's not too many stone teeth on the ceiling so it won't drip to bad" she pointed out.

Chomper hurried back to his nest where his parents were waiting.

"Do you folks want to explore it a bit, or just go to sleep near the entrance?" Littlefoot asked looking around at those still present.

"Thank you guys." - Trod said bowing his head - "it just that... these last few bright circles have been too much for me. I... I really miss my partner." - the Runner shook his head, trying to clear his head, and then he looked up to the sky, and then to the others. - "it seems it is getting dark, maybe we should try to find a place to sleep. If you don't mind, I'd like to join you."

"Don't worry, you can join us," Veil said. "And we promise we'll help you find our partner. We even know a family of sharpteeth here on this island. Who knows? Maybe they'll help you too.

Trod's eyes widened - "a... a sharpteeth family?... I have never find a sharptooth that doesn't want to eat me!" - Trod became a little scared, but the chance to get help was indeed stronger than his natural fear for predators - "I, may give it a chance...".

"I could speak up for you, and they wouldn't eat you," Veil assured.

"That... hehehe, that would be nice indeed." - Trod tried to make a smile as best as he could. - "I will follow you all to that place then."

"Sounds like many things happen here. I look forward to meet that Chomper you mention." - Trod nodded, trying to stay calmed... knowing a sharptooth family is something new to him, but maybe he doesn't need to be alone as long as he remains in this island.

"Maybe we can just rest, if some are to tired to explore, we could." Ducky said.

Cyrix patted Trod on the back once more and spoke up.
"They know me too...but only as a wonderer who they say is 'one with the island'. But I'm sure if I spoke up, they would believe me as well."

(ooc: If it's alright with the GM i'm going to bring in my other character Hunter.)

Hunter was sitting at a watering hole not far from her personal cave, she hadn't hunted in weeks and it was starting to get to her, as she was now pacing back and forth trying to decide on what to do, go hunting in vain, or try to stay here and mope around her home...then she remember Chomper and his family!

"I'm sure they could help me find something on this island worth eating." Hunter said to herself with a smirk.
