I expect everyone to read every response the cat makes in this post, eh?“What are our rules of engagement? As in, what kind of lethality are we aiming for, or would be acceptable?”
Rosy looks to the other recruits
“I’ve known my share of gangs. Though the ones I’ve had involvement with were a bit more ‘Militia’. And also a bit more ‘funded by a foreign government’.”
"Your primary target is the Crabs, of course. Try not to kill civilians - it's bad PR. A few gang members beaten up or dead are just fine. Bring me back a leg!"”Make noise? Break things? Gimme a CHALLENGE, pal! I could totally do some scaring! I mean look at me!”

"Yes, you are very scary. A challenge you say? Alright, see if you can't get some of the Crabs busted with at least a kilo of one of the harder drugs.

Mr. Itch finishes off his cone of water before carefully folding the paper remains into a small pellet and eating them.
“What are our rules of engagement? As in, what kind of lethality are we aiming for, or would be acceptable?”
Mr. Itch stands up and walks over to this critter. He stands over her for a good few seconds before placing a big finger on top of her head, pointing down at her. He nods towards her and then faces the cat and cocks his head to the side in an exaggerated questioning pose.
The cat tilts his head, and opens his mouth in a wide grin, showing many teeth. Then he yawns, licks his face, and blinks.

Flies outside, and finds a sign that says Food Shop, heads inside and finds a duck at the counter, and a raccoon with a red scarf on its front paw. Lenora asks the raccoon if it has heard of a group called the Crabs
((for future reference, don't tell the GM what you find. Tell the GM what you are looking for. Let the GM decide whether you find a raccoon with a red scarf on it's paw or not. Also, I won't process this action until next turn, so feel free to repost it there, with the appropriate editing.))
”Are you suggesting I could be evil?”
“I think he’s implying that anyone could be evil.”

Begging your forgiveness, I've changed my stats, moving a point from dex to mind.

"Or bored enough from a long trip to have some destructive fun - I haven't cast any spells besides Mage Hand in at least a week! Actually, that reminds me..." he mutters some odd syllables and a ghostly hand appears to take the spellbook off his back and open it so he can start paging through it, making sure his spells are still there.
"Goddamn ink keeps fading..." he grumbles.
Hmm. I don't see your character sheet, so I cannot confirm if the spells you have listed are, in fact, there or not.

The cat looks actually alarmed for a moment. Ears flatten, eyes widen, he arches his back a bit, with tail fluffed out.
"Cops don't like cop killers. If you kill a cop and aren't immediately gunned down, we'll put you on a list. And we'll alert the other mercenary groups we have contact with too. So, unless you want to make a lot of enemies very quickly, do not kill cops. It makes too much paperwork for me to pee on.
unless you can make it very convincing that they were being really evil or something.""Right. I've never fought before, are there ways to confuse the opponent to get it to forget the target? I'm a biologist, not a fighter, Can someone give fighting tips?"
"I'll give you a fighting tip: Try not to look like food.""Any other questions? If not, get going."
