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

so he left on business of his own then. i understand " sed Nues said.' e all have to go our own way in life, hopefully we'll cross paths with him sometime."
_ well we need to lay low for awhile as those guards will not stop looking for us' Nicula said,. ' they will be out for blood, and well the bounty on us will likely go up.it was 1 million, it could be 2 million, or 10 million, now. enough that any creature who wants to be made by turning us in, would have a lot of reasons to do so.. and it will be the whole group now, darman, you, dar maa and sed as well." Nicula said.

"I imagine that he would take pleasure in killing all of us himself." Ashnii muttered.


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

"Something is troubling you, isn't it, Sed?" John asked, concern in his voice.

-

"Yes, though I can do a spell so each of us is more comfortable.  If it's cooler in his shop no need for that." Chaka said.  She reached into a pocket and took out a folded up piece of paper and started to use that as a fan to try to cool at least a bit of her body.

"In over our heads is more like it, ma'am." John said.

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

"Perhaps, he seems like the type too. But Apep is who I'm worried about, all that power. Its like giving an axe to a child who doesn't know better." Ashnii explained.

that too' sed nues agreed. ' but not much we can do about that. its not as if we're rebels with an eye on political power, we're just, an small group of folks trying to live out of our lives on the run from a brutal tyrant.'
_ well judging from what i remember of his prisons, apep was almways a brutal type, so him lusting after power isnt surprising' Nicula replied. ' figuring out how to stop him, is the big question. and to have any chance of that we'll need to have an army and support in just about every city in emyreil..

"I learned the basics from my parents then some of the more advanced stuff from an uncle of mine." Chaka said as they walked along.

"Its risky. But I doubt there's an alternative." said Ashnii.


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

John sighed.

"Why is it that the psychotic ones always get the power and all the good people have to suffer? It seems to be universal." said he.

most good people are not willing to cheat, kill and walk all over others to get power. its not in our nature, well at least not something we cultivate..' sed Nues said.
_ Nicula  got up and stretched.' yeah, we dont have an alternative, i mean we cant keep running forever, we need to find a way to stop them and fight..' she added ' i'm going to go check in with sed nues and see how dinner is progressing. she said.

"Wise choice. Nicula" Ashnii said softly.

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

"Perhaps were cautious enough to know not to meddle with such things that are best left to the divine." John spoke.

"How are you two holding up, I trust the accommodations are to your liking?" Said Dae as he walked in and took a sweet roll off of the table.

"Yes indeed.One must wonder where we would have been without their help."

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

Ashnii followed Nicula into the hall and to where Daar Maa sat reading books, no doubt about alchemy or magic of some sort.

"I never knew you were into Alchemy?" Ashnii said, taking a seat across from Daar Maa.

Dar maa said smiling at Ashnii."i hope you are ok, after i pushed you into the bushed back there when they tried to free us from the guards. i really didnt have time to think of a better plan..'
- thats a easy one to answer jOhn. We'd all be dea or at best locked away in some ratinfested cell' Sed nues said as she stirred the pot. dinner would be ready pretty soon..

Ashnii nodded.

"I'm fine. As you said it was the only thing you could do at the time." the khajiit replied.

"I suppose so. I've never had any other friends besides my late mentor." Ashnii said, a hint of sorrow in her voice.

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

"Supper looks nice. You are quite the cook." John said in a thick English accent, a habit of his.

"He does sound interesting." Chaka said.  "I may like him.  But I won't know till after I meet him and spend time around him." She said.
