Father Joe makes the sign of the cross on himself upon seeing the body on the bed. He then gets out of the way to allow those more skilled in such matters take care of the thugs rummaging through the room. It has been quite a few years since he boxed but he will wait in the hallway and will attempt to subdue either of the thugs with his fists if they try to flee the scene.
Almost as one, Thomas and Hamish draw and fire their pistols at the knife weilding man by the bed. The man spins and crumples to the ground as he is hit in the shoulder and chest.
Shorty backs out of the way while Professor Carter with a cry charges into the room. Carter then grabs a chair and branishes it at the white man behind the desk.
Just after Professor Carter moves into the room. A third black man who was hiding just behind the doorway emerges with a bloody machete in hand and he blocks the doorway. Crying out in some foreign tongue he hacks at Hamish. The blade barely misses as the surprised Hamish steps back.
The white man behind the desk steps around and cuts at Professor Carter. His long knife cuts a gash in the Professor's arm (2 points of damage).

OOC: Thomas, the new black thug #3 is in the door way and blocking your shot at the white thug. You could still make the shot but you would be at a minus 4 to hit.
Shorty, seeing Hamish and Teach getting harrased by the man with the machettie leaps at him (well not actually leaping more like rushing) and attempts to disarm the weapon.
While keeping an eye on the room where the gun battle is taking place, Joe also keeps watch on the hallway, knowing it won't be long before the gunfire is heard by others and they come to investigate.
