Richard Black's movements are slick and practiced. The first security guard, back turned and facing toward the hay loft, shudders as the shells rip into him. A howl escapes his lips - more from surprise than pain - as he sags to his knees.
The second, slower, security guard can only manage to bolt into the room. Trigger happy, he does not wait to scan the area and simply fires his weapon recklessly at the man with their submachine gun. The smell of leaking fluid, ozone and hay clearly hasn't seeped into his conscious yet.
His shot goes wide, harmlessly hammering into an upturned crate to Richard's right, showering him in shavings.

*Richard has range on the two security guards, given their relative positions. Tomas and the guards fall within each other's short range.
** Both security guards are now in the barn.
*** Both Katya and Marco (speed factor 10) are still making their way to the door. For mechanic purposes I will add that the exit counts as 30 yards from where their original start point. It will take 2 more rounds for them to escape fully. However, note that the last 10 yards lack cover.
If either Marco or Katya wish to get to grips with the guards, they will require a
Charge action as a standard attack (or going all out) will not quite get the Kindred into close combat range. Pistol shots will be from
medium range.
If Tomas wants to get into close combat with either of the guards, he will have to climb down from the loft. For clarity, I will say now that leaping from his perch into close combat is possible as an
all-out attack, but on a failed roll, or a roll lacking sufficient successes to cause damage, he will be PRONE and flat on his face.
