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 hope we get back and the others are ok." Chaka said with concern in her voice from where she was resting.

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

Walker looked around the part of the fort he could see.  He kept to the shadows as he looked from where he was next to the guard who was on watch duty that he had taken out.  He then crept forward, making sure to get a good look at the layout of the fort, estimated distances to the various things he could see.  He counted the various folks he could see, not sure if he could see all of them before he'd leave or if any were out at the moment.  He would not go to far.  The farther he went the more likely he'd be discovered.

"I'm holding up pretty well, all things considered. " Chaka said.  "I just hope the others are ok now and by the time we get back." She said with concern in her voice.  "The two of them had no right to do what they did." She said.  "How are you holding up?" She asked as she looked at Nicula.

Chaka was a bit surprised at what Nicula said.  She smiled and nodded, "Sure, this is a good time to do that.  We will be fighting and afterwards we'll be to tired and recovering from the fight, maybe doing other things like looking over the loot."

Nicula leaned in and kissed chaka on the lips. for a couple seconds nicula put her tongue inside chaka's mouth then pulled away. ' alright now lets keep going' she smiled as they parted.
_ dae was dragged into the chamber and strapped to the wall. across the wall was a heavy cord, with sharp spikes at the end.

Chaka smiled, enjoying the kiss.  "Thanks, that was great." She said smiling to Nicula.  "Hopefully we'll have more time later on in the future."  She said.  "We have to focus on the fort though.  I hope it doesn't take to long."

Eric chuckled a little from behind the two.
"Oh, don't worry.  This shouldn't take too long at all..."
He said coldly...
___________________________________________________________

The hooded figure chuckled a little, flicking it's arm out to the side.  For a brief moment, it appeared a mere wasted gesture, until Ashnii's claws shattered.  A few hand movements later, and Ashnii was bound to the floor of her cell by black, slimy tendrils wrapping around her wrists, her neck, and her ankles, leaving her lower body in the air.  The hooded figure chuckled, a deep, echoing, malevolence apparent from it's every movement and sound.
"Now, now.  You should be more aware of your place."
It mocked...

Qa'Meret looked back at the girls, he made a small smile that didn't last long as he kept walking towards the fort. He then heard what Eric said . - "I hope you are right, I also want this matter to be settled right now". - The Khajiit wielded his weapons as he could see something not way too far. - "I think we are finally arriving, so all of you keep your eyes open."

In the mean time, Kyo was getting a bit impatient. - "Please miss Dru Essa, can you continue with the story? before Feli spoils me the ending." - he said with a grin as he looked back at Feli.

Alright Dru smiled ' well, the hargraven, cast a spell that would reveal what you feared or longed for most. now this hero had lost his daughter in a troll raid many years ago, and longed desperately to see her again. as he entered a room the spell began to take effect on him, he began to have blurry vision and began to stumble around. the hargraven was watching from a nearby room ' soon, you will meet your doom, like so many before you' she hissed.'

"No! he cannot allow that to happen." - Kyo said to Dru Essa with a worried look on his face. - "that kind of treachery is of the worse kind."

You're into the story.. good' Dru said then continued, the visions became stronger and he began hearing his daughters voice ' come with me father.. its alright, just follow me' Curnac, hesitated, and shook his head, the voice continued and slowly he began to follow it. the hargraven prepared for the moment when he would reach her lair, and come face to face with her.. and death..
-
 the clearing revealed the fort, as well as walker waiting by a nearby treee. ' so what is there to report? Dar Maa asked. She had caught Nicula kissing Chaka, but since it was a brief friendly kiss she didn't mind. 'how many are in there?

"I would say about five to ten are inside and if we are unfortunate, a necromancer." John explained, drawing his sword.

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

"Don't worry, I am not one to spoil endings." Feli assured the rabbit with a smile.

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

Ashnii screamed in pain as her claws were cut. She struggles in vain to escape the tendrils keeping her bound. "I do not fear you!" She told her torturer.

Dru essa smiled ' i'm nearly finished- curnac eventually staggered his way through to the hargravens lair, where the hargraven stood ready to strike. at the last second Curnac saw through the deception and pulled out his sword. the battle was joined, with the hargraven throwing various magic at the hero and Curnac using his sword to deflect and parry the attacks, once in awhile he was able to get a good slash at the hargraven , and after a long and intense battle curnac finally got the better of the hargraven and chopped off her head. curnac then took the hargravens head, as well as the bags of jewels and gold she had taken over the years, as his reward. The hargravens head was mounted on Curnacs wall, where it remains  to this day. killing a hargraven is something only great heroes can pull off, and on that day Curnac earned his place among the heroes of legend' Dru Essa finished.

"Wow, I wish someday  Icould be as strong as he was, or at least to be half as strong." - Kyo said with a smile on his face. - "I look forward to tell this story to my brother when I return home because I am so sure he would be very excited."

Qa'Meret looked at John. - "Well, I think we should prepare for the worst..." - the Khajiit then got his sword ready for the fight, while keeping the dagger he found at the tunnels ready to be used at the moment's notice. - "... but we can always hope for the best." - he is now fully ready for a fight, but he hopes any information from Walker and Taloc can give the group can give them an edge, since any piece of information can be vital.

Eric drew his sword, looking at the metal, then chuckled, his cloak disappearing into a swirl of black mana that hung around his body, revealing his skeletal form and a deranged smile...
"Then let's go.  There is nothing in this life, nor any other that can stop me."
He said with a cold growl...
______________________________________________________

The hooded figure laughed coldly, eyes gleaming faintly.  
"Oh, is that so?  Heh...such spirit...let's see how long it takes to break you."
It mocked, throwing it's hood back and revealing it's face...or, rather, Eric's face.   Grinning coldly, it stepped behind Ashnii, stripping her slowly...

Dae is the meantime was being savagely beaten by his tormenters. as stubborn as he was he could not hold in the screams of pain that came with each lash ' tell us where your party went.. and.. we'll make the suffering end quicker.. ' why do you want them? Dae gasped, blood running down his arms ' because fool, the bounty on them is 10 million gold. enough so that i'll never have to do a minute of guard duty the rest of my life. so you can be a good lad and tell us, and well send you back to your cell, or you can refuse and i'll strip every inch of fur off your hide' the torturer suddenly jabbed daes feet with searing hot pokers, drawing a fresh scream of agony from Dae

"I counted 15 in the fort.  I also found a list in the fort as I was sneaking around inside.  I think it's a list of the members, so they can list who's doing what it seems.  Their weapons are not all that good.  Some are typical, though they will likely be desperate and their skill level with weapons may well vary.  Some fantastic, some maybe passable." Walker said.  "Not sure if any of them can do magic.   So that is an unknown as is the skill level of each in combat."

"So at least there are 15 warriors inside..." - Qa'Meret said. - "it could be worse I guess, but that information is very useful, thanks, Walker." - the Khajiit told Walker, he then looked at the others. - "It seems we can make a safer approach and attack strategy thanks to the information Walker gathered. So we can be as quick and safe as we can."

Kyo smiles back at Dru Essa. - "Yes, at this rate I might consider becoming a minstrel or a storyteller when I grwo up, but that is kind of difficult since I already have other plans." - the kid said with a laugh. - "But I agree that lunch can be nice right now." - Kyo got down from the chair with a jump and went closer to Feli. - "Come one, we should eat together."
