With a loud bang, Thomas's gun goes off! The machete weilding madman infront of him is blown back and falls moaning to the floor. He cluches at a the hole blown in his stomach and lies still.

Hamish seeing a opening steps over the body and brings his large pistol to bear on the man attacking Professor Carter. A second bang erupts but the bullet strikes the wall behind the thug a couple feet to the left of the man's head.

Shorty, who was about to spring at the man in the door way moves in behind his brother ready to give any aid he can.

Professor Carter backs away from his assailant and raises the chair to strike if need be. (OOC: Carter can move back and hold a half action)

The shabby looking white man looks around. His eyes dart panicky about. With a rush he runs towards a open window by the bed. As he passes the Professor, Carter brings down the chair across his head. It breaks and the thug falls to the ground.

Out in the hallway, a balding middle aged man in a undershirt and pants sticks his head out into the hall. "What in Sam Hill is going on??" he says to Father Joe.

"Close the door padre!!! Get in here." Shorty calls out to Father Joe in the hallway upon hearing the other voice.

Shorty continues to assalt the man.
 

Shorty moves up and begins to kick the moaning man on the ground. After a few blows, the man stops moaning and lays still.

Carter drops the remains of the chair, finds a towel and uses it to bandage his arm.

"Thank you, Hamish. It appears it was good judgement to ask you and your brother along on this little expedition."

Once convinced the thugs are not getting up, Carter starts looking about the room, and examines the symbol carved into the man's head (OOC: I'm assuming "the man" is Elias).

(OOC: Search +6 on the room, Knowledge [occult] +7 to try and ID the symbol)
 

Professor Carter moves over to the bed and is sicken to see the look of terror on Jackson's dead face. Looking at the symbol carved into his forehead.

You are unable to identify it. Though it looks like Elias was killed in some ritualistic manner.

(OOC: I will wait for a couple of people to post before I give the results of your search of the room)
 

After another kick for good measure Shorty tells Hamish to tie up the unconscious man. "Hamish make sure you don't touch anything, you know them rats at the precint are looking.. just dont touch anything, see. If we don't find anything soon just grab all the stuff and wwe can look at it else where. Lets do this fast."

Shorty then proceeds to search the room, avoiding the gore.

Joe looks at the balding man who just opened the door and then looks back into the room where the fight was apparently ending.

"Sir, I suggest you return to your room and lock the door. Dangerous men...murderers...are afoot in this hotel. The situation seems to be coming under control with the help of...professionals...but could still be hazardous."

Then, not waiting for the man to answer, Joe enters the room and closes the door.

Joe moves to the body of Elias, holding back the urge to vomit, and takes a closer look, particularly at the symbol on his head. (OOC: any chance Joe's occult knowledge skill would be able to identify the symbol?)

After that, Joe will take a look at the headpieces that the thugs were wearing to see if he can identify those.
 

Thomas starts searching the room, absent-mindedly tidying up as he goes along. "I suppose we should call the police." He looks at the two brothers. "If the two of you wouldn't mind."
