Ah, alright ^^, thank you !
I have a question ^^.
I read that our teams have an HQ, right? Or have I been sleep readin'? XD
Anyways, if we do, I was wondering...do we have a selection of equipments and weapons locked away behind some bullet proof glass? Skyler would like to know...*looks around*

"HELP! Brigand! Help me!" The voice came from a boy, not older than a young man. Leaf quickly turned towards the sound with a sigh and attempted to stay out of whatever trouble was brewing. He was out of the count for another battle and he still needed to get over the fact that he had taken the lives of four people that night. ‘Just ignore it, and go into the tavern. Just ignore it, just ignore it…’ Leaf repeated the same words over and over again as he moved closer towards the Jolly Hippogriff. People seemed to go in and out of the establishment frequently and it seemed to be a place where the squirrel could pause and catch his breath.
Slipping through the doorway, Leaf took another breath and paused for a moment as he leaned against the wall. ‘Almost there…just buy some water and find a seat…’ They’d surely not let him stay around if he didn’t buy anything. In the tavern, all manner of people were having a jolly old time. There were half orcs, humans, halflings and other people from the countless walks of life. Perhaps even Leaf could fit in here without having a bunch of eyes landing on him in confusion. “One water, please…” Leaf tried to get the attention of the bartender and got up on his toes as he placed a coin on the counter. Money was money, no matter who paid and sure as it was, Leaf got a glass of water which he grabbed and hurried over to a table, finally able to sit down after the hectic night.
Part of him wanted to faint but a glass of water would do nicely. He couldn’t care less if the glass was clean or not as he downed the liquid, despite the pain in his stomach grumbling against the addition of water to his empty tummy. Moments passed and the squirrel hugged himself to keep calm, his eyes clenching shut. Soon it would all be over. A new day would come and he’d feel much better. The pain would go away, the sun would be up and those good for nothing bandits would come across the punishment which had struck their allies. While shock still somewhat roamed in Leaf’s mind, he couldn’t say that he regret doing what he did. They deserved what they got and it was for the good of others. How many other people would have died if the squirrel didn’t engage in combat with them? Even just one would have been too many. ‘You made the right choice, Leaf…’ The young creature tried to console himself.

We need to have our characters fight a giant mechanical spider. Also if we have a base of operations can we have polar bear guards? Lol
No spider!!!! Please....*Hides*
We're not making it easy for the DM with the OOC bombs we've been dropping xD
Only the sound of wind brushing past the trees was heard in the deep thicket of night. Leaf couldn’t count the minutes he sat there, contemplating his actions. An almost apathetic expression donned his face with his dark brown eyes set on the bandit in front of him. Blood had stopped leaking from the man’s forehead, but that wasn’t what the squirrel was looking at. Below the bolt, a pair of blood shot eyes stared back at Leaf, cold and lifeless. A few more moments passed before the young creature managed to struggle up to his feet, the aching pain in his stomach stinging like a blade. Without looking back, Leaf walked towards his crossbow slowly before he reached down and picked the device up from the ground, hugging it softly. He had to move on, the surrounding area was still dangerous even though this pack of bandits were out for the count. Odds were that this wasn’t even the entire crew, only a pack sent out on a raid. Their absence would probably invoke a search party the coming morning.
Estermere wasn’t too far off now, but Leaf would have to finish the journey by foot, holding onto his crossbow like the lifeline it was. He never bothered reloading it, the five bolts remaining in the clip had to do the job. He didn’t bother reloading his side arm but rather folded up the bow and holstered the weapon. Leaf’s thoughts were far from technicalities, if he was even thinking at all. At this point the squirrel walked aimlessly along the trade route for what seemed like hours until gates would appear in the distance. That was it, Estermere. So far the wizard’s creation hadn’t gotten a good impression of humans at all. Were they all like this? Robbers, thieves, murderers? No, in the carriage Leaf had met a handful of polite and gentle individuals who all seemed used to travel. Their curiosity about the squirrel wasn’t of malice but of knowledge. How could a creature like that come to be? With magic, almost anything is possible.
Looking up from the ground, Leaf stood face to face with two guards. Both were armed with pikes and guarded the gate into Estermere. “What on earth…?” One of the guards began, leaning forward slightly to inspect Leaf further.
“Can I pass…?” The squirrel spoke quietly, the pain stabbing him as he did.
“You’re a…” The other guard scratched the back of his head, unable to fully grasp the concept.
“Last time I checked…I was…Can I pass…?” Leaf repeated, nearly ready to collapse. The creature fell to one knee but managed to struggle back up to his feet and stumbled forward. The guards were confused as it was, but they noticed how Leaf was wounded and allowed him passage without any more hassle. Once inside the gates, Leaf saw the sleeping town unfolding in front of him. The streets weren’t too busy but he could hear a lot of voices stretching out across the roads. Some seemed inclined on being out at night, but the squirrel wanted nothing more than a moment of rest. Maybe he could muster enough energy to reach the inn. Conjuring the remainder of his strength, Leaf kept walking. The market seemed very busy, even at night apparently.
