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

"I'm from another land, Mandalore" he told her, slightly annoyed someone was talking to him while he was trying to eat. "Currently i'm on a job, I just need my employers to collect me."

"YOu ready to go?" Chaka asked to be sure.  Then she headed towards where she lived, taking Dru there.  Once there she opened the door.  Inside was a home lit by magic lights.  The furniture was comfortable with the chairs with ample cushioning.  There was a bookshelf to one side and doors to a hallway.

What kind of books do you have? Dru Essa said stopping in front of the bookshelf ' serving Dibella, the pleasures of love and  aedra or daedra: choose your master. Interesting collection. some of these books are old, very old. family heirlooms perhaps?' She asked.

"So it would seem" replied Darman, letting a hint of 'no duh' seep into his tone as he ate

"I have others also.  Some on various subjects like basic alchemy." Chaka said.  "This shouldn't take to long." She said.

She went through the door to some other rooms to pack some stuff in a backpack, various things she thought may be useful including a few potions and other things.  Then she came out.   She also brought out some extra stuff she had.  

"See anything you'd like to take with you to use?" She asked Dru.

"A few books perhaps since we don't know how long this trip may take." Chaka said.  She picked a few books to put into her backpack.   "You have or want some basic weapons or anything like that?" She asked.

Finishing his food and Ale, Darman put his helmet on swiftly. Leaving some gold to pay for the meal he got up and left, heading out so that his employers could find him easier.

"I think I have a spare basic sword." Chaka said.  She went to another room and brought back a sword.  "It may not be fancy but it's a good basic sword." She said holding it out.  "Give it a try to see if you like it." She said.

"Better then using just your fists in a fight." Chaka said smiling.  "You ready to go?  I think I have everything for a basic trip I can think to bring.

"Eventus Salus is a gemstone that was said to hold the fused spirits of the first beings who entered Eymreil from another world." Raine explained

"Who knows where such a thing like that could be." John asked

"Isn't it obvious?" Reynard chimed in, getting everyone's attention.

"If it was part of the first beings who entered this world and perhaps lived their lives in it. Then the most likely place would have to be Eymreil's oldest tomb, is it not?" He explained.

"Even then, finding the tomb won't easy." John replied.

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

The door to the Tavern opened as an Imperial captain entered the room, he was battered and bruised with a few cuts here and there.

He approached the counter.

"Have you any mead, peasant?" he asked Dru Essa

Chaka was sitting at a table waiting and drinking a small drink, having decided to have a drink while she waited on Dru and not in any hurry thought why not.  She looked around casually and watched the goings in in a casual manner.

Suddenly, Raine felt a blade against her back and Crito appeared behind her.

"You did well, my sweet. But I'm afraid that you and your friends will perish." he spoke into the Wolven's ear.

"Crito, I should have known you would be foolish enough to follow those mad with power."

Crito pushed the dagger into Raine's back, beginning to draw blood.

"You're wrong. Prince Apep is glorious and soon he'll be more powerful than any mortal or god has ever seen. But I'm sure a bitch like you simply wouldn't understand.
Rest in Hell."

Then, Crito took the dagger and pierced Raine's heart. He got some rope and hung her lifeless corpse from the ceiling, perhaps as an example of what happens when one stands against Apep.

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

"So, who is this mercenary you speak of, Daar Maa?" John asked as they left the hideout.
-------------------

"I caught the fugitives escaping Brug Orn, those bastards took out my entire legion. I was barely able to follow them here. I would've got them if it wasn't for the one with the Greatsword.." The Imperial captain explained.

 Dar Maa nodded ' Hes not cheap, but better to have someone there to heklp fight off bandits
- Fugitives? You mean the ones the prnce has put a huge bounty on? By the gods, the one who caught them would  be set fot generations' Dru Essa said. " i'm sorry you were not able to catch them..."

"You would be fortunate, at least you would still be alive, peasant." The guard told Dru Essa.

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

It was midday when the group arrived at the tavern that Darman was currently waiting. Trying to conceal their identities, the entered. The sellsword was drinking his fill at the bar. Not far from him was a Imperial captain who was talking to the bartender, a comely argonian.
