Rory went quiet. Ming had posed an excellent question.
Rory considered what skills he had to offer the group. Skills. As if it didn't matter who he was so long as he could point a gun or swing a stick. As if he may not be welcome on the team unless he was able to shoot or bash someone in the face. He did study the darker side of Chemistry in college, and he knew a thing or two about the arcane arts and religion. He knew his way around the library, too, and was able to make sense out of most written languages, and...
Feck me, Rory thought, I do sound like a bloody wanker.
"Yeah, just point me somewhere I can tool up, and I'll be Connor Mac-feckin'-Manus," Rory quipped, "I might look pretty, but I'm no stranger to streetfightin'. I grew up in South Boston."
[sblock=OOC]Connor MacManus is one of the lead characters in an indy movie called The Boondock Saints, from which I also drew some inspiration for my character. If you've never seen it, shame on you - go rent or download it NOW. It is one of my all-time favourites, and it will be yours, too... or you're a bloody wanker.

Rodny thinks a moment before responding. "As Ming said, I do have a weapon and can use it. I'm not the best shot, but I can provide some cover or backup fire power when needed. As far as the 'brainy' side goes, that means I'm good at searching/researching the clues and leads we get. I'm also a walking repair shop. If your weapon or equipment breaks while we're on a mission, I can usually have it working again in a few minutes to an hour or so. That includes your weapons."
He pauses a moment before shyly adding, "I also have some skill at getting around security systems and disabling traps and bombs."

You won't need to leave until tomorrow morning at the earliest. The orc biker gang isn't expected to be seen in town until later this week. (It's currently sometime after noon on Tuesday, the museum job was done on Monday night.)
In the mean time everyone has a chance to settle in, find a room here if they wish to stay, check out the armory and get any gear they may want and get to know your fellow team members better.
Simply let me know via cell phone when you leave so we can contact the local authorities and give them some sort of cover story.
Unless anyone has any other questions, I have other issues I must deal with.
[ooc: If no one does she leaves the house and lets you all get to what ever you wished to do next.
If anyone has any gear or equipment they wish to have, let me know and I'll tell you if the armory has it or not.
Also those who were involved in the museum raid, all get 500xp each.[/ooc]

Kara Acoma 6/6
Kara nods at Rodny’s explanation, content with what she hears and offers a friendly suggestion, “Instead of that hand-cannon there, perhaps a weapon that is more simple to use would be better.” She gestures at Ming’s crossbow before continuing, “If not a more accurate firearm could help.”
She turns to Rory with a wry smile and asks, “You mentioned wizardry, not referring to your skills at convincing young girls to drop their panties were you?”
Realizing that she is no longer a lone investigator and is going to be a part of a team, she decides to stop being so quiet and keep talking, “I used to be an investigator and I also can treat wounds. Let us check out this armory. I like my Glock, but if these orcs are tough and numerous, perhaps a FN P90 or H&K G11 would better. Also need to check what kinds of ammunition are available, we might need armor piercing.”
<<OOC: Is Ming still wounded? If so, is it visible?>>
Before Ms. Johnson leaves she will ask, “Is there any intelligence on this gang you can offer? What about rules of engangement?”

Nick will thank Ms. Johnson politely and then turns to Rodny saying "I agree with Kara. That hand cannon you gave me is almost too much gun for me. I'd try a nice Glock 17 or 23." He then turns to Ms. Johnson "Do you have a range on site or nearby that we could use?" After her response he turns to Kara "You want to grab a few guns, go to the range and put some lead down range? Rodny, you can come too if you're interested." Nick then stops and turns back to Ms. Johnson "Uh...what exactly is an orc gang?"

Kara Acoma 6/6
Kara turns to Nick and nods in agreement, “Shouldn’t take any weapon into combat without personally firing it first. If there isn’t a range here, we can probably use the range at Billy’s Rod & Gun Club out at the edge of town, just off of Highway 15. It’s an indoor range so we have to use regular ammunition, no armor piercing. A lot of private investigators and security consultants go there.”

<< OOC: Yeah, I made Billy's up, but an ex-cop and private investigator would know where the local range is.>>
There's not much more intel to give you I'm afraid. The gang calls themselves the Waaagh! They pray on small towns in the southwest of here. The local authorities simply can't do much to stop them because they think they're dealing with normal people, not orc's.
They make a circuit of the towns taking supplies and the like then go live out in the woods for a few weeks at a time. It's expected they'll hit the town of Westcot sometime towards the end of the week, but it's hard to say exactly when they will.
The rules of engagement are simple. Engage and destroy them by what ever means you wish. These are not humans with civil rights we have to worry about, they are orc's and will not respond to reason or logic. The only thing they understand is violence and the only way to stop them is to kill them.
Orc's are creatures from beyond the Shadow, they do not belong in this world, but have somehow entered it anyway. If we could simply return them we would... But no one has found a way yet to do that.
So instead we do what we can, which typical means hunting them down and destroying them. As I said before they live by their own laws, which can be boiled down to might makes right. If they can take something they believe that means it's rightfully theirs.
There is a small range in the basement just off the armory. It's not very long so it's only really suitable to handguns and the like.

Rory beamed. "Well, y'know what they say about magicians and their secrets..."Kara Acoma said:
To accentuate the point, Rory pointed to Kara and uttered a few syllables under his breath. Rory then slowly moved his hand in front of his own face, right to left. Kara's troublesome strand of hair slid away from her face as if moved by some invisible force.
"... But I'll let ya peek behind me curtain," Rory finished with an equally wry smile.
Rory had never killed anyone before. A scrap in the streets was one thing, but killing people in cold blood... Ms. Johnson stated that these people weren't people at all, but monsters from the Shadow realm. Rory couldn't immediately wrap his head around the concept. A small part of his Catholic upbringing kept nagging him in the back of his mind - "Thou shalt not kill."Ms. Johnson said:
"Beggin' yer pardon, Ms. Johnson," Rory said slowly, fatigue clearly setting in, "But I do believe I missed the orientation. What's a man to do to get the skinny on you lot?"
