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

Colgar was still working on his injury.  It hurt bad but wasn't fatel.  He would live to fight another day.  It just felt real bad.

"Here, let me take care of that.  You need to rest." says Greycliff as he licks Colgar's wound.

Colgar moaned, "I don't think we should go after that bison anymore."

"I agree,  we should try and find a smaller herd to hunt down." the wolf says.

Colgar added, "Besides, he could have killed me but let me live instead.  My kind has this thing where if someone shows mercy on you, you can't continue to hunt them.  That moose isn't worth the trouble anymore either.  HOw many pack members did we lose?"

"Only two, one from the bison and another from a shotgun blast." Greycliff says.

(I just put up an RPG if you want to join that.)

Morgan edged closer as the bison continued to speak.  Obviously this wasn't the first attack like this nor would it be the last.

"Excuse me sir, where did the cougar go?" asked Morgan, making her presence known.  "Last thing I want to do is follow the one who would eat me."  She looked up at the side of the bison--a grand fellow he was, truthful probably.  Then she saw the wolf.  She was about to bolt, but changed her mind just as quickly.  If it was hungy it would eaten the bison before she had even come close to these two.  No, the wolf wasn't a danger...for now.

Buff looked down at the rabit and said, "Oh, hi.  If he has any common sense, far from here.  If he had cought me any sooner, I'd have killed him for what he did to Rhen.  He's been on my tail for over two months now.  Hopefully, he actually learned something.  If you're worried about him conning after you, you're welcome to hang out with us."

"You all can stay in the cellar if you want." says Tom.

Myles said, "Don't be afraid of him.  This human is a friend.  He won't hurt you."

Myles, Buff and Morgan go into the cellar, his Dad stays with them, keeping his gun pointed at the cellar door.

Buff said, "I think you can relax.  I don't think they are going to try to get in here."

"Ok, I'll padlock the door, just in case they come back.  You can never be too careful." Tom's dad says as he exits the celler and locks it.

Buff said, "So, what do we do if we need to go out in the middle of the night?"

"Oh, alright.  I'll leave the door unlocked." says Tom's father as he unlocks the door.

That night, Buff woke up to hear a taping sound on the wood.  He pushed the cellar doors up with his head and saw Blaze standing there.
She said, "Buff, I'm scared.  Can I come down there with you?"
The bison replied, "Come on."
Once Blaze was with them in the basement, she said, "I really don't trust humans."
Buff said, "Don't trust all humans but trust the ones we know.  They saved our lives."

ooc:  Time to set some ground rules here now that you have a new player who has very different rules on how role plays work.

Quote
Myles, Buff and Morgan go into the cellar, his Dad stays with them, keeping his gun pointed at the cellar door.

1.) Big, fat no-no.  I'll take care of Morgan, and you take care of your characters.  I'll decide if Morgan accepts and goes into the cellar.

2.) Wait up.  I can't get on as often as you two can.  Maybe one reply per person in a rotating fashion so that no character gets left behind.

3.) Why one sentence replies?  Sure doesn't leave the other much to work with.  I always try to write at least a good paragraph because I can't do much with one sentence replies.

That's all I have....those two alone will see many of these go a long way. :)

Morgan looked at the bison.  "Join you?  Join you in what?  Where are you going?"  She was confused.  This was a wandering creature for sure, but constant migration wasn't something hares were naturally accustomed to doing.  After all, these grasslands were all she ever knew, but her leverets had gone off on their own to find their own places to call home, and she could go far away too if it meant protection.  The bison seemed willing to give that.

Buff said, "I'm not going anywhere any time soon.  I decided to just settle here.  I don't think I introduced myself yet.  My name is Buff and that is Myles and the deer is Blaze.  I like this place very much.  I just Rhen was still here."

(I agree.  Perhaps we do go too fast.  And we don't need to control someone elses characters.)

Myles then asked, "So, what is your name.?
(sorry for a short post but there is also the last post to work with.)
