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

Dan came on the battle a bit behind Theo.  He watched for a moment to get the feel of the battle and where he could perhaps help and to try to see where James was and if he was tied up and if any Domeheads were near where he was and between them while keeping his stick handy if he needed to use it.

The Domehead that Adam had shot managed to crawl over to Deimos and grab his tail and pull.

Deimos screamed as he felt his tail being pulled. "You bastard! Let go of my tail!" he shouted.

The Domehead managed to regain his footing and pulled Deimos's tail even harder. "No."

Deimos then let go, lest his tail be separated from his body. He then faced the offending Domehead and waited for him to make the first move.

The Domehead charged him and he leapt to the side. He smirked and aimed a swift kick at the Domehead's injured leg. The Domehead screamed in agony as the powerful kick broke his leg, downing him. One down, four to go.

The Domehead that Frank had shot was still charging despite the fact that he had been shot at least six times. "Frank! You okay?" Deimos asked. His tail was very sore; he would have to have Dan look at it later.

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

Theo noticed that the Domeheads had left James unguarded in the far corner of the encampment. "Dan, James is unguarded. Maybe we can sneak over there and free him," he whispered. Not that he needed to; the noise of the battle masked pretty much any other noises.

Frank was now growling before he drew both his pistols and fired at the charging domehead. "Why won't you just fall?" Frank shouted after he emptied his pistols. Frank drew his dagger and gave a warcry before jumping on the domehead driving his dagger into it multiple times.

Dan nodded, "Yes, let's see if we can do that, and get him out of here.  Maybe back to camp even." Dan whispered back to Theo, ready to try to sneak over to where James was with Theo, so they could move together.  Though he did still keep his club handy, just in case.

Cleve also fired at the Domehead Frank was shooting at. The rifle was a lot easier to aim than his pistol, but the bullets seemed to be deflecting right off the skin of the Domehead.

"This is not working," Cleve complained, "Frank, be careful! You're not a match for..."

Suddenly, Cleve noticed a Domehead charging at him from behind. This one must have just arrived, because it was not there the first time Cleve saw James's captors. Cleve turned around and shot at it, but the bullets were literately bouncing right off his body. Cleve stumbled back, but the distance between them was closing, and Cleve, unlike Frank, had no weapon for close combat.

"Leave him alone, Domehead," Ruby said, throwing the piece of wood at his feet. The Domehead tripped on the piece of wood and fell to the ground. "Looks like the handy firewood came in handy," Ruby said, "But there's no time to lose. The Domeheads here are vicious. Hurry and free James."

Cleve threw his loaded rifle at Frank, who was ran out of ammunition. It fell to the ground next to Frank. Cleve got out his Colt pistol, which was a lot lighter, and dashed towards James.

Frank's vicious assault finally weakened the domehead enough that he collapsed to the ground. Two down and three to go.

Deimos ran to the downed Domehead, who was trying to get back to his feet. "Oh no you don't!" he shouted, jumping into the air and slamming the Domehead back to the ground. He then bit the Domehead's neck, fatally wounding him. Three down and two to go. "By the way, it looks like all of James's stuff is here too. Should we grab it?"

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

Theo heard Ruby's exhortation and moved faster.

He looked at the vines that the Domehead had used to bind James. He was no good at knots and there was nothing sharp nearby so he just resorted to biting through the vines.

"James, can you hear me?"

James shook his head. He looked terrible with the blood matting his hair and face.  "Yeah, I'm real sore though."

"We'll need to take you back to the campsite," Theo said, keeping his piece of wood handy.

Dan reached into a pocket to pull out a pocket knife.  He briefly put his club under his arm to quickly open his pocket knife and getting his club in his hand again he helped Theo to release James by cutting the vines as Theo bit them.  

"Think you can make it on your own or would you prefer we helped or carried you?" Dan asked looking at James, since this wasn't the place or time to examine his injuries.  

He glanced over at where Deimos was, "I'd say if any of us could quickly grab his stuff.  Don't want to spend to much extra time here." He said.

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

"I do hope they are ok, I do, I do." Ducky said looking in the direction of where the others had gone in.  

"Me hopeded too." Petrie said standing next to Ducky.   He then flew upward to see if he could see any signs of them returning.

"They'd be back here by now if I was with them!" Cera boasted. "Why did they have to give us this bogus job of watching this dank, dark hole in the ground for them?"

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

Adam had set back and watched through most of the fight. He yelled out to the rest of the group. "Let's get going!" He aimed his rifle at the last remaining domeheads. "I'll cover!"

"Good," Cleve shouted back, "I'll carry the stuff." Cleve flung a bag over his shoulder.

Chomper used his teeth to break the remaining vines. "These Domeheads sure aren't friendly," Chomper said, "Let's get out of here."

Ruby nodded, "Our goal was to rescue James, not to fight the Domeheads. Now that we have rescued James, let's stop fighting the Domeheads and run!"

Frank picked up the rifle he dropped and stuck his dagger in the ground 8 times to clean the blood off of the blade. "Let's get going." Frank said the blood from the domehead still on his face.

A domehead began charging at the group of humans and dinosaurs escaping. Adam fired at the domehead several times, and it fell over, injured. It got back up, and started to back away, apparently having enough already.

Dan helped to carry James, or helped James if he could move mainly on his own power.  "Yes, let's return as fast as we can.  We have achieved our objective." He said, though still keeping his club handy, though with the vines gone he had already put his pocket knife away.

Deimos roared at the last Domehead. Seeing as this group was not to be trifled with, he fled.

"Frank, Cleve, Ruby grab as much of James's stuff as you can!" Deimos ordered. He the picked up James's tackle box.

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

James was mostly capable of walking on his own but he still limped a bit. His shotgun was slung over his shoulder.

Theo was helping James as well.

Frank grabbed some more of the gear that james had frank still hadn't cleaned the blood off of his face.

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

"Well they probbaly thought it was too dangerous for us to come with them." littlefoot said.

"Me glad.  Me bet it to scary for us to go." Petrie said, getting a bit scared with what he could imagine what sorts of things could happen.  

"We can keep this area safe for them, we can, we can.  In case any mean domeheads come here." Ducky said.  

Spike ate some more, then went back to walking around the camp.

James and Theo made it back to the campsite. Deimos was next to arrive.

"We made it and we got most of your stuff back," Theo said, he tossed his piece of wood into the fire pit.

James nodded and placed his shotgun aside. "I'd like to wash up," he said heading to the lake.

Deimos placed the tackle box next to the other supplies. "Dan, while James is away, could you examine my tail? One of the Domeheads tried to pull me away from his friend with it and it's still sore."

Theo warmed himself next to the fire.

"Sure." Dan said, putting his makeshift club down onto the area where some firewood was.  He then went over to look at Deimos's tail to see what sort of shape it was in.  "How does it feel, any particular pain or a general soreness?" He asked as he looked it over without touching it to try to diagnose the problem.

Adam arrived and begun reloading his rifle with the ammo he took.

Cera comes up to the group, looking annoyed. "Finally! Your all back! I was getting bored in here."

Adam replied to the Threehorn "Do you know what we've been through?"

Cera gave a "Humph!". Just like her father's.

"you're back.  We are glad you are, we are, we are." Ducky said holding her hands up waving them in her happyiness that the others had returned.  Spike came over, also glad to see the others had returned.

"Me glad you back too.  Hope it not to scary." Petrie said, a bit skittish at what he imagined had happened to the others while they were gone.
