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

"I suppose you don't mind if I join you. I can see that my concubine has already." Dae asked as he entered the dining room.

"As much as I hate to say it. This is your home, so I guess." Ashnii replied.

Darman glanced at Dae for a moment before glancing around the room, thinking about where he'd heard that animal noise.

Chaka looked around the room nodding in agreement.  "It does look like a nice room indeed." She said.  She went over to set her backpack down near the bed.

"Well, you're certainly no Socrates." John muttered.

John quickly drew his sword. Whatever was on the other side was banging on the door more intensely.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't sound friendly."

Suddenly, a curved steel blade penetrated the wooden door.

of course, just give me a minute to dig it up' Sur said as he went and started looking through a pile of maps.. 'Whos the kid? is he yopurs?' He asked giviong the young kid a glance as he went through his collection of maps..
Qa'Meret looked at Sur after he made his question - "His name is Kyo but he is not my boy, I found him wandering on his own and I decided to help him find his parents. The cape and hood is because he was born an albino, and you know that is not any common for Khajiits or any similar races, so I thought it would be for the best to avoid calling much attention." - the Khajiit replied even though that is not the whole truth, but maybe it is enough since it was not much of a lie afterall.

The male Khajit remained looking at the kid, amazed to see him so focused on reading that book he found.

"Aye, I guess it will have to wait." John said, getting into a combat stance.

Soon the door was bashed in. On the other side was a creature that sort of resembled an Orc from Lord Of The Rings only it didn't appear to have any eyes, which were replaced by an extra set of nostrils where the eyes should've been.

"Thank you very much." - said Qa'Meret. - "I would just need the city map to get a view of where everything is, to know where will be my next performances, but I will purchase the region map, so how much will that one cost?."

He was waiting for Sur to tell the price for the map when Kyo closed the book and approached Qa'Meret - "There are many spell books here, some are not nice..." - he said with a soft voice. - "... can we go now?"

Qa'Meret knelt a bit. - "We need those maps to have a real clue of where will be going next, I don't think any of those books will do anything." - he said trying to reassure the kid.

_ Sed nues backed at the reulsoive sight " what in the gods are they?' she exclaimed.

"I can notice some of those spell books do not have the safest magics, I hope you'll be extra careful with them." - Qa'Meret stood up again, but Kyo grabbed his left hand firmly. - "I think I do have the money for your map." - he handled the 15 gold coins as he could with just one available hand, with a couple of remaining copper coins. - "Well, I think we cannot understimate the big help maps can offer. And you are invited to see my performances at any time." - He said after signaling a place very near the main plaza of the city. "Thank you very much and good luck with your store." - the Khajiit turned around and prepared to leave the store with Kyo still grabbing firmly his hand.

"We can use some extra money." - Qa'Meret said to Kyo, who released his hand.

"Sure... I guess." - the kid said as he stood near the exit.

The Khajiit then got closer to Sur - "I think we can do that for you. But 100 gold coins, that book must surely be important. Do you mind if I borrow the city's map?" - he said as he was now examinating the location of Lord Arstan's house. - "And is there a way so he'll know for sure we are going in your name?" - he asked before leaving the store.

Eric sighed, standing up as the energy in the air wrapped around him, forming into a cloak and his claws.
"Hmph.  And here I was enjoying the pleasant company and delicious food, and this had to happen."
He chuckled...

its always something' Sed Nues said as the first creature went after her. she slashed it with a cutting knife gashing it on its left arm. the sight of the eyeless creature was unnerving, to say the least.
