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

(the castle)
the guard opened the door as nicula dru essa dar maa and sed nues came in. the count turned and stared at them. ' so you made it back' he said. ' i suppose you'll be wanting your gold then..
- as well as dae and ashnii dar maa said firmly.. the count raised his eyebrows ' well my dear you certainly are determined. but the fact is, i never mentioned anything about releasing your friends after you came back. my wife has little patience for them, and even less for the females of that species..
-
give them back to us' Nicula said coldly. " we slew all the bandits in that darn fort, brought back their leaders armor as proof, and now we want them back and the money you promised. you do that and we'll be out of here and out of your hair..
- i'm sorry my dear' the count said raising and pointing his scepter at john. ' that boy there has 15 million n his head. you lot aren't going anywhere.."

“I am, too, bad!” the ferret exclaimed.

What was with this cat? She had to be around the ferret’s age, and yet she acted so much younger. And, if his ëwitty’ reply was of any indication, she was starting to rub off on Aaron. Not to mention her tilting her head over so far was making his own neck hurt just from looking at it.

“Where I’m going is not your concern,” Aaron said, “And we’re in a forest, running is noisy and wastes too much energy. You move too quickly! It’s so easy to hear you stomping around.”

Now he was giving the cat advice. This 'getting away from her' thing was going wonderfully.

The cat frowned, looking offended! " Sukki doesn't stomp! You just have super hearing! " Her head returned to a more natural position, and she began to walk over to him. " You could be a Hunter like me! That's much more fun than the boring place you're going! So come with me! " She clasped her hands behind her back and leaned forward with a smile, and raised brows. " Well? The cat and the meerkat! We'll be like the Three Musketeers! Fighting for juices and honour! "

She pauses… " Oh… That's a hero, not a Hunter. I think. " She looked at him carefully. " You're too small and skinny to be a hero, I think... "

Chaha wasn't surprised, she had not liked nor trusted anyone here, certainly not the count or countess or their underlings.  

"Slay everyone." She said as she cast a flame atronach spell, having an extra temporary party member was always handy she thought.  Then she cast a bound sword spell to give herself a melee weapon and considered what spell she'd cast next.

The flame atronach did a flame attack at the count.
---

Walker grabbed his main chakram, and threw it.  As it flew through the air it separated into 2, going for 2 guards.  Walker did a jump flip, landing with his legs around the head of another guard.  He gave a flip twist with his body and took that guard out.  His chakram hitting 2 other guards.  He caught both parts after they ricochet off off of 2 guards helmets & swords and returned to his hands.  His eyes open and his conscious thoughts slowed so he was fighting without thinking, in a zen frame of mind & a type of combat meditation.

[Forest again!]

“I am not a meerkat!” Aaron exclaimed again, “I’m a ferret! There’s a huge difference!”

The ferret backed a few spaces away from the cat, as if he was planning to move again. Being a ëhero’ fighting for ëjuices and honor’ didn’t sound all that appealing to him. Even less so doing it with this cat.

“There’s no coin in justice and honor,” Aaron countered, “And you’re one to talk! I bet a stiff breeze could knock you over!”

"For Lady Gaea!" - Kyo exclaimed at sudden turn of events, the Count and Countess won't release Ashnii and Dae and now a fight started in that very courtroom!

Qa'Meret grabbed the kid with his left hand and made him to bend down. - "Get down and stay here!" - the Khajiit yelled as he was barelly able to fend using his sword the attack of an incoming guard. - "Chaka rushed things a little bit, but we still have one chance to come out from this one alive." - Qa'Meret commented as he jumped some distance and used his left hand to grab a shield from the first guard Walker defeated.

"Nuh-uh! " The cat insisted, shaking her head rigourously from side to side. She raises an arm and balls the hand into a fist, as if showing off invisible biceps, as she grinned playfully. " I'm strong! Not even a hurricane could knock me over! " She stuck her tongue out at him rudely. " Stupid! "

She took more steps towards him, closing the distance that he was creating. " This is boring. I'm bored. You're boring, meerkat. Meerkats are boring. Stop being boring. All you do is talk! And walk slow! " She huffed in annoyance, as she reached out to try to push him along. " I'm coming with you! And we can save someone like you saved me, meow!" She seemed to be doing more talking than listening, preferring to tell than be told.

“If I’m boring you then find something more interesting,” Aaron replied, before spinning on his heel and starting off into the woods again. “And for the last time, I’m a ferret! You calling me a meerkat is like me calling you a dog!”

Admittedly, he was moving quicker now. Mainly so she wouldn’t put her hands on him, as he wasn’t looking forward to the possibility of her actually being strong, and toppling him. Such a thing definitely wouldn’t get him anywhere. If getting anywhere with this cat was even possible to start.

“And I didn’t save you, I just opened your cell door,” the ferret continued. He was beginning to regret this action. “I’m sure they would have let you out eventually anyway, I just sped up the process.”

As the fight broke out, Eric vaulted over a set of guards, claws slashing through the opponents, turning to parry another strike with his arm, drawing his sword and cutting the unfortunate opponent in half.  He snarled angrily, countering another strike as Sima Shi dodged around an opponent and ran them through with his long rapier.  Next to him, Sima Zhao rolled under an opponent and slashed upward, then kicked another opponent away...
__________________________________________________________

Inside a side passage that led away from the dungeon, the hooded figure led Ashnii into a corner, then pressed her own ear to the wall, shutting her eyes for a moment.
"Good.  The guards are being led away.  Now then, let's get you cleaned up..."
She said softly...

dae by this time had managed to get his way inside the room, which turned out to be the counts treasury. Daes eyes grew wide as he saw the amount of gold coin in this room. there was a caouple bags lying nearby, and he grabbed them and started sweeping coins into the bag. money wont be a problem, he hummed to himself. ' consider this compensation for torture, you sadistic wench' he muttered as he began clearing the treasury out.he could get all of it- thee wasnt enough bags, and his injuries would prevent him carrying that much weight- but he would be able to gwet a bag chunk of it.

 Dru essa sliced at a guard and knocked his sword out of his claw. nicula sent another guard sprawling with a blow..   the count arose from his seat his face full of fury.

Qa'Meret was able to block the incoming attack using the shield he grabbed, and he used that fraction of a second he gained to stab the guard just in the joint area or the armor, piercing his flesh. The guard exclaimed in pain  but his neck was slashed by the Khajiit's switf arm movement. The Minstrel, ex-soldier, stood up to fight another guard who was in reach.

In the mean time, Kyo got frozen by the situation, there is one thing to receive training, but another very different to be in a sudden bloodshed is a totally different thing. He then looked in horror when he saw someone talking to him.

"So, what do we have here?" - It was a guard standing next to the kid. "if I use you as a hostage, I may be able to make some of them to surrender." - the guard extended his arm to grab the kid, only to got that arm burned by Kyo's dragon.

The guard screamed in excrutiating pain as Kyo stood up and just, instinctively as his eyes started glowing red again, ran towards the guard and touched him with his left hand. - "Sleep!!" - the air around the kid turned dense as the guard lost all sign of concioussness. The once warrior won't wake up even if the world would explode around him.

The flame atronach attacked a guard trying to get close to the group as Chaka cast an armor other spell on Kyo so he had armor on, though due to the spell the armor had no weight, being magical.  

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

"I'll enjoy gutting you." A guard said as he attacked Walker.  Walker deflected his sword with one part of the balanced chakram, the other slashing at his neck, in the same zen battle meditation, his conscious thoughts relaxed.  

"Judgment of Akatosh & Arkay, you are to die today." Walker said, dodging to one side as the sword nicked his shoulder armor, both chakrams slicing at his neck, "And you shall not be alone." he said, flowing with the battle and letting his body do it's movements, without his thinking, which would slow down his actions.

John did not waste any time as he swept two guards aside with his greatsword, making his way toward the count and countess.

"For Olympus!"

With that John brough his sword down to strike the count, the blade of Spiritslash giving the noble a gash in his shoulder.

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

"Who are you?" Ashnii asked the hooded figure, crouching near her.

"Seriously, man? Apep wants my head!" John replied, the boy almost mimicking a Jaguar-like snarl as he made his next move - a vertical slash followed a horizontal strike to the count's legs.

As the guard fell on the floor unresponsive, another guard looked at what happened and yelled at the boy. - "Khajiits don't have those kinds of spells, what kind of demon are you?" - he said as he didn't care he was about to attack a child, but he considered him to be too dangerous to let him grow up.

But at that moment, not only Chaka's spell gave Kyo an armor, but also the guard met a sudden death by the sword of Qa'Meret. - "Sorry for going away, that was an irresponsible act on my part." - the Minstrel Khajiit said as he started fighting another guard. But Kyo didn't reply, he looked at the guard he defeated and smiled, he smiled because he considers he can be of help now afterall.

The countess, let out a demented chuckle, "By now, she's probably dead." She replied, before attempting to stab the argonian in the chest with a dagger.

Chaka parried a blow from a guard, casting a lightning bolt spell at his chest once she had moved her bound sword away from his & he was readying for another attack.  She hoped the others were doing ok.  She was to busy to look around to see what everyone else was doing, just the few who are in an area she is looking.
