Thaw 02 - Blue Patrol Is Locked Out
Francisca, Tander, Zeke, and his new tenderpaw Lily are heading to Copperwood to investigate the Spear, following the cryptic information from Darkheather. But once they get there, they find the city under lock and key, placed under the protection of the Red Hook…
I genuinely wonder if the red hook are legitimate or not. On one hand, they are pirates operating unusually inland. On the other, Copperwood is one of the largest and oldest cities and it seems unlikely that a band such as theirs could take it over themselves. Maybe there’s something more going on.
Also I really love Lily and Zeke’s dynamic, and how increasingly clear it is that they did not plan out this mentorship. I feel Zeke is going to learn more from Lily than Lily is going to learn from Zeke.
This was a wonderful episode. Zeke and Tander Donkey Kong Country their way inside is just such a perfect phrase.
Lily asking Gwendolyn to make Zeke her mentor at the start of Thaw 01 led to me imagining her giving a powerpoint presentation, which led to me creating an actual slideshow presentation of what that would look like.
This is a real presentation I made in google slides, and can also be viewed here:
Thaw 03 - Red Patrol Tears Itself Apart
Red patrol has two leads to work with, but both of them quickly turn into dead ends. With nowhere else to look and no more clues to follow, Granny’s eyes settle on one last lead, the most suspicious mouse involved: Isolde.
Good lord Granny just turned into Drill Sargent Granny this episode. Fairly certain that if Granny ever interacted more with the mice at lockhaven, the tender paws would have boogeyman stories about her.
I mean she is a retired Guard Captain, the highest possible rank for an actively patrolling mouse.
Isolde was really incredible this episode. It was interesting seeing her get to the boiling point and explaining her reasoning for being in The Spear.
Hey folks! So quick update, but Google killed Webhook, which was the server backend we used to update the Six Feats Under website. So until we figure out how to set up a new backend, our website is frozen in time, unable to be changed from its current state. Which isn’t great. So we’re going to be linking episodes directly to podbean until this is sorted out.
Zeke and Tander have successfully snuck into the pirate town, but there’s no way they’re going to get Francisca and Lily in without a big distraction. They settle on starting up a festival.
Lily is played by Eliza. Francisca is played by Riley. Tander is played by Drakkel. Zeke is played by Devious Vacuum. And our Games Mouse is Grant.

Thaw 05 - Red Patrol Fights To The Death
Red patrol’s host, Lucius, has gone missing. Granny, Isolde, and Sable follow his trail, worried (but also hopeful) that it will lead them to the kidnapping ring…
Sometimes I forget that Mouse Guard can be worryingly brutal. Then episodes like this happen and act as a timely reminder.
The Guard has slipped by Red Hook’s guards, but they need to remain hidden as they find wanted posters of Francisca and Tander. They’ll need to disguise themselves in order to meet other mice looking to overthrow the pirates for good. Luckily, Samson is here to save the day!
