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

true, but right now, we really dont have a choice..we keep an eye on him as we go, he tries anything we overpower him and leave him for the passing guards to worry about' Dar maa said " we do need help on the road though, the more the better sEd nues said in reply..

"I don't know, most mercs can easily defeat a small army." John explained.

---------------------------------------------------
At a tavern in the center of Kreun, Crito and a man wearing a black robe sat at a table drinking mead and discussing a certain matter.

"So what is it that you want." Crito asked

"The location where the outsiders reside." the hooded man responded.

"I don't know it."

"What about the prophetess."

"She hasn't mentioned it."

"Then you are of no use to us"

"No wait! I may not know the location, but I can get someone who might."

"What do you want in return, Crito?"

Crito nonchantly shrugged.

"Wealth, food and women I guess."

"The deal is your life." the hooded man said and left.

"So, what now?" John asked out of boredom.

"I think its time we headed back to the rebels, they're probably waiting for us" Ashnii replied.

"In broad daylight, it would be more trouble than its worth." Reynard explained.

"You're funeral." John muttered sarcastically as he prepared to head out.

"Keep thinking like that and something bad may happen to us" Ashnii teased.

"True, but I'm a skeptic"

John didn't say anything as they approached the docks but he quietly hummed the tune of Damh the bard's song Imramma, mostly out of boredom and to calm his nerves.
