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

John woke up to find Feli tucked in next to him. The young Khajiit had his right hand in his grasp and was using it to rub her swollen belly carrying her young.

"Do you find me beautiful, John?" She said as she looked into his eyes.

John was stunned for a moment, trying to find the right words.

"Um...well...yes Feli, you are very beautiful. Your royal blood certainly amplifies your loveliness...but....my heart belongs to another." He explained.

"Oh...well, I should have guessed. You already have Ashnii to care for." Feli replied, the khajiit frowning but soon brushing it off.

"Feli, please...you best get back to Dae's side of the room, or else this will be the last you will see of me."
-------------------------------------------------------------

"So what shall we have for breakfast?" Ashnii asked joining the others.

Eric glanced up as the Orc entered the room, his hood covering any reaction he may have had.  Calmly, he stood up, making his way towards the breakfast keep, placing down another 10 gold pieces.
"Here.  Give him a good meal."
He said calmly, turning to walk back to his seat...

Once he was ready Walker went down to the dining room to have some breakfast as well as to get a drink.  Once he got his breakfast & a drink he went to an area and sat down.  He looked around the room as he started eating as he thought it best to be alert, in case any danger may pop up where they were.  He glanced at the orc, not knowing what species he was but didn't linger on him.  He didn't find various species of sentients unusual in appearance, unconsciously being use to seeing the many forms sentients could come in.  


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

Once Chaka was sure she was ready she went down to the dining room to get herself some breakfast.  She sat in an empty place, and also kept looking around casually.  Hoping they could have a normal quiet day today without anything happening.  She looked over at the orc briefly, but he didn't look like a threat, just someone come down for breakfast so she didn't give him a 2nd thought.  She hoped he had not faced much prejudice that some non humans did in some areas.

Qa'Meret saw Walker going out from the room, and then he sat down in his bed, looking at both the boy and the room's window. The little dragon was there, still waving it's tail. - "So Kyo was successful giving you some energy, that kid can do very impressive stuff." - he got closer and knelt next to Kyo's bed, lowering himself enough to reach the eye-level of the creature. - "Is there anything you can do besides breathing flames?" - the Khajiit asked as he placed his hand on the dragon's head... but then he suddenly stood-up giving some steps back as he saw, for just a moment, an image of his wife. - "t-that's... impossible..." - he said while trying to catch his breathe, while the dragon stood there, waving it's tail next to the kid that created it.

The Orc turned his unblinking gaze to the hooded stranger and bowed his head slightly.
"Blessings," he said in his bear like voice. "I'm usually not permitted to accept any token of charity-- but today is a special day, friend. I'm in your debt."
He said this without smiling and, more disturbingly, without blinking. He turned his head back to the counterman, who was looking so spectacularly bored and scrawny that he might have passed for the polar opposite of the Orc in front of him.
"Well that'll get you a ham plate, if you'd like," the man said so monotnously it sounded as if he would fall asleep. "And a glass of ale to go along with that."
"No beer. It weakens the senses," the Orc said.
"Whatevah,' the counterman said, handing the Orc his meal. The Orc bowed without a word and walked over to an empty table, setting aside his giagantic two handed battlehammer to lean on the wall. He then began to mutter under his breath as he looked at the food, thumbing a small metal symbol on his necklace.
Never did he blink, never did he smile, and never did he look around to see the uneasy looks people were giving him.

Qa'Meret managed to catch his breathe as he sat on his bed. - "That was so... crazy. What are you little dragon?" - he asked the dragon, even though he knew it would not reply. - "or maybe, the most important question here is..." - he looked at the still sleeping kid. - "who are you, Kyo Ixtar?" - The Khajiit shook his head and tried to relax, waiting for the kid to wake up so they can have breakfast.

Qa'Meret stood up and then he opened the door. - "Good morning miss Dru Essa, please come in..." - he said as politely as he usually does as he fully opened the door to let the Argonian enter the room. - "This is very nice from you, but you didn't have to do it, I was waiting for Walker to return because I didn't want to disturb the rest of the group."

"Thanks..." - Kyo replied as he now has one eye opened. - "Breakfast in the bed? that is something I have not enjoyed for a very long time. thank you." - he said as he slowly sat on the bed and smiling at the Argonian.

Qa'meret then head towrds the door. - "Well then, Dru Essa, it seems you have everything under control here, soooo I am going downstairs now. See you all later!" - the Khajiit closed the door and went to the Inn for breakfast.

John didn't take long to leave, making his way downstairs and spotting Sed Neus, Ashnii and Daar Maa. He soon approached them.

"Morning. So where to first?" He asked.

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

Feli gasped when she heard Dru Essa knocked.  

"S-sure, you always welcome in here, Dru." The pregnant khajiit replied.

-
 Dru essa entered the room, " i heard a noise from the next room. Is something wrong? she asked kindly. ' you can trust me Feli, Its not like i'm going to blab stuff you tell me to jae."
-

_

Qa'Meret reached the Inn-keeper and asked for breakfast after looking and deciding between what was available for eating. He then took his plate in the table where Nicula is, Chaka and walker are also nearby. - "I feel like I have not eat since some days ago." - he said as he happily started eating. He then looked at Walker. - "Don't worry about Kyo, he is now awake and Dru Essa gave him something to eat. She'll also check for Feli, I hope the young Khajiit is doing ok."

Kyo was eating his breakfast, but his mind is remembering his home, he wonders how are his step-siblings doing. "They should be doing fine." - he said to himself.

I hope you slept well Qamaret' Nicula said turning to the Khajit. " i slept ok, myself, with 4 people in a bed together, space can be tricky to manage,. you have to avoid knocking into someone else, or worse knocking them out of bed..

"I slept well..." - Qa'meret said. - "we were lucky about having more space for us... but I have slept with lots of people in reduced spaces before, so  Iknow what you mean." - he said with an amused tone as he kept eating breakfast. - "So, have you all thought about plans for today? I think exploring the city is the best."

After he had finished muttering, the Orc ate. Somehow, he managed to manipulate his banana sized fingers around the tiny fork and knives, and began to carve into it. It burned his mouth, but that was to be expected so soon after his cleansing.
His mind was on his armoróthere was always the risk it wouldn’t be there when he got back, no matter how hard he attempted to hide it. It had happened before. Still, even he knew he couldn’t just go walking into a public area clad in war armor.
His eyes lingered to a select few at the table sides. One was the hooded man who had lent the gold for his meal. The other was a woman in the corner who had given him a look that appealed to him: it was sympathetic, yet rebelliousóno pity or fear.
As he lifted another forkful of the ham into his mouth, his mind was about to flicker back to his armor and then back to where his next desitnation would be when a quite sound stopped his hand.
…follow…
His breath halted. Immediate, ecstatic awe overcame him. He turned to his hammer, and stared at it revearingly.
“… My lord…” he whispered between his massive teeth.
The red eye on the hammer blinked, and the Orc blinked too.
And then the voice was in his mind: powerful and overflowing.
The voice of his master addressed him as it always did: “High Priest TalocóI have a request for you.”
To the people around him who still bothered to stare, the Orc simply appeared to be gazing at his hammer, as if inspecting it for flaws. He was knelt there for almost a full minute.
After some time, he slowly returned to his seat, and bowed his head in thought.
“Follow,” he said in soft, thrilled voice, and gave a smile that showed every tooth in his mouth. "As you wish."

As Eric and the others ate, the door to the inn opened and a young-looking man dressed in an odd white robe and blue adornments walked in, his face halfway covered by an ornate mask around his right eye, and walked up to the innkeeper, handing over a small bag of coins and receiving a bag of food in exchange, nodding to the innkeeper as he walked out the door again...
