[D20 Modern]Department 7 (IC)

Rodny accepts the FN Five-seveN from Kara and puts it through the same sequence of firings that he used on the other weapons. After he is satisfied, he offers to clean it before returning it to her.

"I probably better go with it instead of the Glock so we can all use the same ammo."

He puts the Glock and it's holster back in the armory and then checks out a FN Five-seveN and holster.

Rory watched the shooting practice with mild interest, eyes drooping heavily. Every now and again he left the range to enter the armory, hoping that the light activity would keep him from falling asleep on his feet. He sifted through the various weapons, eventually picking up the guns and ammo that Kara had recommended. He also came upon an unusual find... a well-balanced medieval headman's axe mounted on the armory wall. He added this to his arsenal, confident that it would have sufficient orc-stopping power. It's not a shillelagh, he noted, but I doubt that the Orcs'll give a civil street fight.

Rory popped his head into the shooting range and yelled, "That's it for me. See you buckos in the morning." He made his way upstairs to an empty room, plopped down on the bed, and promptly fell asleep.

"So. What is an Orc exactly. I mean. What do they look like? Are they a type of person? I know it was said they couldn't be negotiated with but are they monsters? Do they look like monsters? I ask because I've never heard of one before now or even seen one...and we're headed to take on a whole gang of them. Do they have some kind of special weakness or something? Y'know a 'kryptonite' or 'silver bullet' type thing? Or are they like those big brutes in the Lord of the Rings movie?" Nick asks.

"Want to test your mettle? Very well, it shall be an honourable fight." Ming spars with Ming, although the chinese seems sturdy and solid, he lands but two single blows, missing the nimble Nicky on the rest of his attacks.

"Your agility is superb. You should exploit it at your maximum." He advises, with a short laugh. As the matter of orcs is being debated, the chinese man shrugs
"It's anyone's guess. I suppose you might be right, that these orcs are much as depicted in those films. But I don't see how is that relevant. Our mission is to exterminate those creatures, we shall succeed; and for success, total conviction is necessary. Hesitating in battle might bring you closer to your demise."

 

[Felix1459]

"Wooh. Coming from you I'll take it as a compliment. Maybe I can learn something from you after all." Nick says as he rubs his ribs and his face from where Ming's blows actually connected. "As far as hesitating. I won't. I was a Marine. We shoot first and ask questions later if that's what the orders were and that's how I see it in this case. So on another subject...do you just have an aversion to guns? Me, I'd like to learn to fight with anything. Even those weapons you carry. Me I can fight with guns and that's about it. I carry this here knife 'cause the USMC gave it to me and I have some training with it but man I think your sword is b*tch*ng. So maybe we can spar some more and learn from each other."

Kara Acoma 6/6

Kara is hanging around waiting on Ms. Johnson’s call back regarding the questions she asked before she heads home for the night.

She will take a peak at Ming and Nick sparring, silently watching as she leans against the door jam with her legs crossed and arms folded across her chest. After hearing Nick’s questions about orcs, she’ll shrug noncommittally, and looks around to see if Rodny has any information.

When they are finished she’ll ask “Anyone have any experience with explosives or demolitions?”

 

[VanorDM]

<<OOC: I would think all of this gear would be available as it is straight out of the core book.>>

[ooc: Sorry, life got a touch nuts for the last few days. Yes you can get all that gear from the armory here.

There's enough gear to supply about 10 people with various weapons, and enough ammo to last all 10 though several engagements. Say on the order of 5,000 rounds per weapon.

There's also enough com/NVG type gear for 10 people as well.

If everyone is ready I'll try and get the town mapped out today and we can start that sometime this afternoon. /ooc]

"I think using a gun is the coward's way out, the easy way. Shooting a crossbow or a bow requires certain training. Any goon with a gun, even if he doesn't know how to use it properly can blow your head. I rely on discipline and training as my philosophical pillars. Using guns would be go straight in the opposite direction I wish to go; like an adult salmon swimming to the ocean instead of inland." Ming explains.
"If you want to really learn to use a blade, I could teach you some basics with wooden swords. That said, there's a blade for each man, you must pick yours. Perhaps this blade is just too heavy for you, and with a broad sword you could became more deadly, even if it has less penetrating power."

The chinese swordsman turns to the woman "No, I know nothing about demolitions."

 

[ThWatcher]

In response to Kara's question about demolitions skill, Rodny says, "Not me."

 

[ThWatcher]

Rodny starts going through the armory and/or supply rooms for tracking units. That is, anything shot into, thrown onto, or otherwise attached to a creature and/or vehicle. It transmits a continuous or intermittent signal or GPS data that can be tracked or used to indicate the location of the unit. He would prefer an IFF mode unit that only sends back a signal when remotely told to do so, but and tracking unit will do.

If there is none available, Rodny will spend the rest of the day crafting a simple tracker. (OOC: Take 10 for 21 total.)

He'll then get some rest before the group heads out in the morning.
