RS Halloween 3 a near rerun

How so?  The newer members cry, wringing their laurels and berating? 

Older members will lean back in their slightly shabby but comfortable chairs, puff on their briars and consider this a 2 pipe problem.  Their eyes will be downcast as they remember that remorseful day when Sherlock Holmes was struck down be an undead fiend in Gravesend as told by your humble narrator


Dearest reader let your imagination slip to sleepy New Milton.  This could happen today.  Mayhap if local by-laws haven't changed, a century from now.  Brace yourself.  Upon the Queens highway a villainous fiend has wantonly slewn the red-flag bearer and driver of a motor vehicle!  The local constabulary are at a loss, so the Flying squad is called in.
  
This is the last Halloween game.  There's at least one more innit, but enough is enough.

The Game  Tony took Elvira & co.

The scene of the crime.  Is this the perpetrator revisiting the crime?  Is it on the lash?



The forces of the legal law arrive.


When constabulary duties to be done, a policeman's lot is not a nap-y one.


Elvira sachets.


Soldier girl sneaks.


Shooter boy lines up.


The Inspector advances.



Death is shot down!


Inspector gains and inspects the crime scene.


Pump-kin tries to cover its tracks.


No!  The Inspector is deaded!


Soldier Girl goes in.


A dead copper.


Whistles whistle and cops advance.


Another one gone-.  Things are going well-.


The note book is drawn, the pencil stub is licked.  That went so well-.


Game 2  Here we go again but differently.  I get the initiative, hoorah!

Here she comes, stalking down the street.


The Law!


Trying this teamwork thing.


"Oi!"


Bunching up.



Shooter boy gets the drop!


Allowing Soldier Girl to rush in!


Another downed!


Reinforcements.



Pump-kin pulps.


A whack on the shins from her downed opponent puts her down.



Pump-kin gets shot by the Inspector.


It's getting messy back there-.


Shooter Boy's next-.


Then back to Soldier Girl.


Getting a bit thin on the ground-.


Death snipes the Inspector.



Shooter Boy recovers.  Someone's been doing wheelies.


Making sure-.



The last constable faces death.


Brings death low!


Proceeds against Shooter Boy and gets the drop!



Now here's the thing.  Elvira surrenders on Death's demise.  Irritated at being ignored, she surrenders again upon Shooter Boy's death.  The odds on that--.  2 enjoyable games.  Not that different but both fun.
