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

The Lost Tale Of Eymreil

As John sat, solemnly gazing at the corpse of Alkimos, he felt he wasn't quite alone.

Suddenly a figure swooped down from a nearby hill. John quickly turned and drew Spiritslash from its scabbard. It turned out that the 'attacker' was simply a red fox. John lowered his sword slightly but still stood ready as he had learn to expect the unexpected over the years.

Then the unexpected happened.

"Relax, I'm on your side" the fox said in his silky voice.

John's eyes widened at that moment.

"How are you able to speak in the language of men, fox" John asked.

"Let's just say that this world has granted me the ability to learn your tongue, back in Earth, I could only come to you spiritually and communicate with signs and visions."

Now John was really stunned and he began to notice that this fox looked somewhat familiar.

"You're a spirit animal, aren't you" he said

The fox nodded.

"You've seen me before" the vulpine then asked

"Yes, in a few of my dreams, meditations and shamanic journeys, but I never believed it, I always thought I was forcing myself to visualize you instead of letting it flow naturally"

The fox came closer at that point and John decided that it was best to sheath his sword..

"I think its best that we should discuss this elsewhere, somewhere a bit more pleasent" the fox explained.

"Wise words. I know just the place too. But may I ask your name"

The fox smirked slightly.

"I go by many names, but you may call me Reynard" he said.

"Reynard it is then" John said sheepishly as he and the fox left and headed back to Ninnian's shop.

Darman Skirata had recently arrived at the town after turning in a few small criminals for a reward. He followed some of the signs till he arrived at an Inn. He read the Inn's sign at the top- it read "The Bloodlet Inn". He opened the door and walked inside, surveying the insides behind his helmet- his head unmoving as he made his way over to the innkeeper. "Are any rooms available for the night?" he asked in a dull tone.

"Expensive." noted Darman as he put his gloved hand into a hidden pocket, pulling it back out and placing 10 gold pieces onto the bench. "I trust this covers food in the morning?"

"If you don't mind me asking, how long have you and Ninnian know eachother" Ashnii asked as she approached Sed Neus.

Meanwhile John and Reynard were en route to Ninnian's shop, both cleverly staying out of sight.

quite a long time. that old khajitt has run this place as long as I can remember
 hes been a very reliable customer, one of the few that kept in contact after we moved up to Brug Orn.  the costs for carrying items all the way up to brug ormn was not cheap.. with bandit and other brigands around it must have cost him a pretty penny to keep sending me things./ Sed Nues repliede. ' In a way I'm glad to be out of there..
- breafast is extra t gumna said ' its 5 gold for eggs steak and mead.. you want that included or not?

"5 gold? make it 3 and you have an even deal" replied Darman "Just the steak and eggs- no mead". While darman was talking he noticed the occasional odd look or staring from the others currently dining in the inn, whenever he looked they seemed to act like they never were looking

"No, I am not from Soren- and those aruetiis you describe as guards wouldn't have the ka'rta to do what I do. I come from the land on the borders of Soren- mandalore. Here's the gold for the meal in the morning too." he replied as he handed over 3 more gold pieces. "Which room do I get?"

Darman nodded his head and turned the handle, opening the old door with a creak as he stepped inside and closed the wooden door behind him. "Not quite what I was expecting for 10 gold pieces..." he thought mentally as he surveyed the small holes in the walls and dusty floorboards

The door to Ninnian's shop opened and John walked in followed by Reynard.

"I admit its quite spacious for a human's den" the fox muttered.

"Just stay out of trouble Reynard, otherwise the owner of this shop will have my head for sure" John responded.

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

"Did you hear that" Ashnii said as she heard the door swing open and then shut. He hand clenched around a dagger as she got up.

"I'll go take a look" the khaijiit muttered.

Darman took off his helmet and placed it onto a small bench in the room. The bench was covered in some dust and seemed like it hadn't been cleaned in more than two weeks.. give or take a few days. Drake unslung his scabbard and sword he had attached to his armors back plate, dumping it onto the floor, as well as his crossbow and bolts.

and what have we here? ninnian said as he beheld Reynard.. ' a rather inrteresting specimen " i've heard of folks owning dogs, but never a fox..or is this one just wandered in from the forest looking for a snack? Ninnian was having a chuckle for now " so where did you find this one? he asked john.
 Nicula and Dar maa returned a few minutes later carrying the supplies Ninnian had requested. ' Heees the supplies you wanted three dozen fish, 5 almscakes and 5 dozen sweet rolls Nicula said carrying in the sweet rolls, Dar Maa had the almscakes and fish. " Excellent lasdies just set them on the counter, and heres some gold for your troubles, lets say 30 each, or enough for a few drinks at the local pub Ninnian said " I don't drnk mister ninnian Dar Maa said quickly..

Darman began unbuckling the sides of his armor, sliding off the backplate and chest pieces- letting them drop to the floor. He grabbed his left shoulder pad and pulled it off, doing the same to his right shoulder piece. He kept his gauntlets on as one could never be sure when danger would strike.

"He's actually an old friend, not a pet" John explained. Reynard remained silent for a few moments before he opened his mouth to speak.

"Indeed, to whom do I owe the pleasure of speaking to" the fox asked.

John then heard a creaking sound, signaling that someone was coming down the stairs, it was followed by the sound of a blade bing drawn. Almost by instinct, he drew his sword, the blade ended up near Ashnii's throat causing the khaijiit to drop the dagger that she was holding.

"My apologies, madam" John said to the khaijiit as he lowered then sheathed his sword.

"You scared me half to death!" Ashnii almost yelled at him.

Placing the shoulder pads on the ground as well Darman made his way over to the bed and sat down on it. As he did so a small plume of dust shot out from the mattress. "Seems this hasn't been cleaned in a while either." he thought to himself
