The Great Purgatory Jail Break

Yee Har partners... Kid Cakey and his gang are in the Purgatory jail after an attempted bank robbery, Doc is still on the loose and has sworn to spring his partner.  At this rate the Governor will never offer them that amnesty...

A frightening Zoom view of the
Marshal without his eye patch
In my defence I had run a 10K earlier that day.

Some new painting, Samuel L. and Denzel, both with Colt revolving shotguns.  Nobody asked me during the game but they are 4 shot monsters

The Colonel Zooms in, mint julep at the ready

Purgatory.  the afternoon sun filters across the dusty fly ridden streets.

the long Zoom shot.  When I prepped the game I had two cameras going but needed to redeploy one to WhatsApp.  Fortunately my Woolworths webcam is on a long lead and can move around the table easily.  

Fast Mike behind the bath house as the Hole in table E gang tries to spring Cakey across the street.

Doc dynamites the back of the jail.  

And Marshal Rooster is alerted

Dan takes up position

With the bars loose Cakey can begin his escape... after securing his guns.

Winter sticks his head around the corner and sees the Marshal.

Frog Eye makes the pervy barber's day peeping into the bath house.

Meanwhile Cakey and Doc get the old firm together. 

Fast Mike discovers Slap, who has just left the latrine.  "I'd give it an hour if I were you mate..."

Mike gets his boys into cover.  Frog Eye is still traumatised.

Curley and his boys repeat the hide under a ladder trick

Dan peers into the livery stable and spots the Marshal's huge and angry horse.

The outlaws break for the back of the livery.  Miss Belle and Pedro are out here.

The Cake interlude.
I love this bit.

Djambo offers helpful advice

The action heats up around the livery stable

Alphonse shoots it out with the Captain and Tennile.  Do that to me one more time threatens the Colonel...

Mike and his boys hide behind a water trough.

Miss Belle goes for Cakey

The top down shot

Doc spots Miss Eliza.  This could be awkward...

Dan gets into the loft of the livery.

gun battle through the doors.

The Colonel rescues his men, but puts himself in real danger

Dan attempts to ride the marshal's horse out of the livery.  He is thrown.  I gave him a 50-50 but that is apparently an angry horse.

Doc comes to his gang mates rescue.  He shoots Miss Eliza.

But Doc is in an awful crossfire here

And it goes from bad to worse.  Doc is in real trouble.

But Cakey spots that he can exit from number 3, where Doc entered.  The Cakey boys disappear as the sun sets over Purgatory.  Doc and the remains of his gang also make a hasty exit.  Not a good day for the forces of law and order, although the Marshal has mounted his horse to go in pursuit.  

The Outlaws, despite being outnumbered some 2:1 fought a magnificent action, and the Purgatory Jail Break will go down in history as one of the West`s most bold and desperate actions.  Kid Cakey and Doc can now add a Mexican Bandido to their gangs.  This will even the odds for a showdown.

Note that the Marshal will be out of town for the showdown between the Hole in Table E gang and the Cowboys.at the So-So Corral, and both sides will start at opposite ends of the street.
