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

"Lady Ashnii" A young man hollared as he approached the young khaijiit.

"Crito? Pleasure running into you again" Ashnii replied with a bow.

John was in awe at the thought of such a place being hidden under a small town like Kruen. It was then that a voice caught his ears.

"John. I never thought you would turn up again."

John turned to find himself meeting another familiar face.

"Aylwin? You're part of the rebels too?"

"Aye, I joined them months before you suddenly appeared out of nowhere back in Lascavia. Almost thought you had gotten the guillotine after I heard what happened".

"If me and Nick hadn't escaped when we did, it might have come to that."

It was then that Aylwin noticed Reynard.

"Is this fox with you?"

"Aye."

"Does it have a name?"

"Reynard" the fox interjected, catching Aylwin off guard.

"By the divine, the critter can speak?!"

Reynard was slightly annoyed at being called a 'critter' but he stayed calm.

"Can't we all?" he responded.

I'm Dar maa Dar Maa said shaking claws with Aylwin ' I was originally from corral, but the emperor overran it and burned it to the ground
 i was imprisoned along with john and Nick, but my mother bailed me out
 we didnt have the coin to bail out john or Nick though
 but i masnaged to find them after they got out
 john at least i'm... not sure where Nick ended up, magic can sometimes be unpredictable.
 i'm nicula ' Nicula said I'm from Brugash originally, but left after the tax collectors raided it and started dragging people off for not paying the new taxes.  then i remembered  my cousin Dar maa and went looking for her. Finally found her at a place called Brug Orn  and had just settled in when the guards attacked again. as if they dobn't take enough of our hard earned coin.. She shrugged ' so why did you contact us, if I may be so bold in asking?

"We were in need of a few recruits to help in the battle against Apep.
Once we heard the news of two argonians, a khaijiit and few others escaping the town of Brug Orn, killing many Imperials. We naturally decided that you were the ones" Isoba explained.

"Does this resistance have a leader" John asked.

"Aye, she is waiting for you all".

We will be glad to meet her Ninnian said  as they took in the surroundings
 raghged bannersw hung from the walls from the time before cernobog and his family seized power. there were  a few rebels sitting near a fire trying to stay warm in the drafty hall..  a faint smell of wine hung in the air. ' I take it this isn't your only sanctuary' Nicula said as she looked around. ' you must have others hiden away..

"No, but it is the main one. The labrinythine paths you saw earlier all lead to the different sanctuaries" Isoba said calmly.

Eric stepped into the room behind the others.  
"Forgive my lateness.  You were followed by a small contingent of Imperial agents..."
He said softly, dispelling his sword...
____________________________________________________________________

Imperial Capital, Palace Throne Room

A figure, wrapped in heavy black chains, slowly stepped into the throne room, a single eye visible under the heavy cloak it was wrapped in.  With a sardonic smirk, it knelt before the throne.

"Lord Apep...you have a need for us?"

It hissed softly...

Apep sat there silently, his head obscured by his cloak and helm.

The dark prince narrowed his eyes at the guards.

"Yes, it seems our fugitives have taken refuge in the town of Kreun or somewhere near it. I want you to tear apart any settlements in or around Kreun until you find them and if you do, don't hesitate to make them suffer.

Also, there is a bounty hunter who goes under the name of Darman Skirata. He's known to go after anyone...for a price, I would advise you to send him after the outlanders. Pray you succeed or else I'll see to it that the next few moments will be your last." He explained.

"One more thing, there are rumors that the resistance that opposed my wretched father is hiding out near that area. It would be wise to kill any members of that resistance should you meet any." he hissed in a venomous tone.

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

Isoba led the group to through winding halls and through a set of double doors. It wasn't long before they arrived at the resistance leader's quarters. In the room were a few desks, with various documents and scrolls scattered upon them, and many chairs upon one of them sat yet another unfamiliar being.

She resembled a humanoid Grey Wolf. A pair of spectacles adorned her muzzle and she appeared to be deep in thought as she calmly read what was written on a seemingly ancient scroll. the wolf-woman also appeared to be very old.

"A Wolven. It looks like they weren't all burned alive by the empire" Ashnii stated.

"Ah, so they're another near-extinct race like the Ra'kaath." John replied.

"Precisely"

Isoba quietly approached the wolven.

"Lady Raine, they have arrived" he said just loud enough that everyone could hear.

"Welcome, my name is Raine, Leader of the Garut Tol. We've sought you all in hopes of beginning a new age. An age of peace and freedom.

But please, it is getting late. I shall explain everything tomorrow. You should all leave for now, be sure to take note of the way here, the Imperials would get suspicious if I kept sending a hooded guide out each day." the Wolven explained in an elegant tone.

"Aye, madame. But one question, why us? The whole reason Me and Nick are here in the first place is because we both made the foolish decision of reciting a forbidden spell in an old tome" John proclaimed.

"You've saved the lives of innocents and you've fought Cernobog's and Apep's warriors and then there's that oath you both swore to the young Khaijiit and Argonian who have placed their trust in you, my lads." Raine said soothingly and briefly motioned at Ashnii and Daar Maa.

"Would you two break that promise?"

(OOC: Sorry I've been getting carried away in the last few days.)

So they all returned to Ninnian's Shop and with an interesting tale to tell no less.

As the moon shown brightly on Kruen, a howl could be heard as another day slowly came to be.

Early morning soon came, Darman's internal body clock woke him up within seconds of the sun rising. Sitting up on his bed he stretched and got up, assembling his armor and putting his helmet on. Leaving the room he went downstairs and onto the street to move onto the next town where hopefully there would be more thugs for him to catch.

"Morning." Darman replied, not caring for pleasantries and continuing to walk past them
