Winster White Claws

The Winster White Claws are the orbula team of the town of Winster. They were named after "the cat who slayed a man" (see the Catpaign). The Winster White Claws play in the Azure Region of the HASMORQL league, which is hosted by the Sorborough Squonks. Their colours are white and pink.

## History

Winster was the town in which the sport of orbula was invented, and still, it is very important for the whole town, even for those who do not actively play orbula. While the team has won a lot of smaller prizes, they never won the HASMORQL league, so never had the chance to play in HASMOIST.

An event that really changed the White Claws was the death of their star rusher Wrangler Tauron in 133 AE. He mysteriously disappeared on his way with some teammates and coaches to Sorborough, and the only thing that was found was the carriage in a flaming heap on the side of the road, filled with bones. The whole town was rocked by this event, and since then, the team tries to win for Wrangler.

## Current Situation

During the events of Arc 4, the team has ten players in total, six of which are usually on the field, and four of which are usually on the bench. They are coached by coach Clobber.

## Cheerleaders

The cheerleading squad of the Winster White Claws is coached by an old lady named Gwendy. For games, all of the cheerleaders wear the same hairstyle: two braids, and the rest of the hair tied back, which looks really cute. They are not an exclusively female squad, but have at least one male member.

Mechanically, at the start of every round of the game, the lead cheerleader can give out free inspiration, as long as they are with their cheerleading squad and hit a certain DC in a Performance or Acrobatics check. If they hit a 15, they can give out one free inspiration, if they hit a 20, they can give out two.
