I see that Lilly graduated from the school of confusion fu when it comes to trying to interrogate people.

I’ve been doing 6FU music for a while, but I’ve never really talked about the process. This session has a piece that I really like and that I thought might be a good example (it’s shorter than a lot of the Mouse Guard pieces), so I put something together that’s just the music and score with written notes and commentary regarding style, process, narrative, etc. If anyone happens to have an interest in the Mouse Guard music and how it interacts with the game, here you go.

Thank you for putting so much thought and effort into a wonderful piece of music to cover up that I took way too long to get the adventure going in that one.

I started listening to Mouse Guard last week and my heart is not strong enough to withstand the South/West Patrol family, please do more of it.

This is making me wanna play this game.
I cant imagine Lilly ever getting in trouble for saying anything. If she can literally say “Mafia” out loud while writing it down, she can do anything.

Honestly kind of with Zeke and isolde on the trial bit of “Why are we interfering like this, and not just giving the information we found over?”. It would have changed the nature of the trial, arguments could be made for delaying.
Finally getting around to listening to the new episode and god, the awkwardness between Lily and Sable trying to bring up the matter of Sable’s past is so good. The rest of the episode is fantastic as well, but that part just really stuck out for me.

I loved the trial but I have bad news for West Patrol: They’ve all been replaced by Robin as my favorite mouse.

I can understand Isolde thinking there is a possibility that they are being played. But there’s evidence to suggest it’s all true. So I think everything is in the clear.
Guide to the Territories pt8: Gwendolyn
The Guard is always led by a Matriarch, and the current Matriarch is Gwendolyn. She was the youngest to become Matriarch on record. Her predecessor died suddenly. That means some of the more senior mice have more field experience than the one commanding them, but at the time of our campaign over 1/3 of Guardmice were inducted during her tenure.
Gwendolyn is capable and committed. She has the best interests of all at heart. I can promise that, in this campaign, she’s not going to have a heel turn. Gwendolyn’s the real deal, not a would-be tyrant biding her time. A FCBD story shows her in the future retiring from duty to raise a family with Saxon. In the RPG, she has the Graceful, Compassionate, Determined, and Wise traits. Her best skills are Persuader and Mouse Guard-Wise at 6 each. (Her stats are kind of nuts. She is HIGHLY qualified.)
You can download a papercraft model of Gwendolyn here, and see a video on the model of her office David Petersen uses as reference here:

Summer 08 - East Patrol’s Rocky Roads
The East Patrol has reached the most dangerous obstacle in their escort mission - stony, open cliffs. Without any kind of foliage or tree cover, there’s nothing between the refugees and an open sky full of hungry birds. And as Marx, Tander, and Francisca quickly discover, these cliffs hide more than just birds…

I have this brief idea that Francisca during the bandit fight started yelling “Feel the blood rage” or just frothing at the mouth. Which is why her inspiring speech failed later because everyone was absolutely terrified of murder mouse, and losing some of their stuff.

Summer 09 - West Patrol and the Spider Grove
Trigger warning: Arachnophobia. There’s a lot of talk of spiders in this episode and the next West Patrol episode.
West Patrol’s mail route takes them to Woodstuff’s Grove, deep in the swampy borderlands. The spider farms found here provide silk for all the Territories, and the man in charge, Mayor Cavre, gives our heroes a warm welcome. Or at least, he does once he finds out they have nothing to do with that terrible arsonist, Marx…
Lily is played by Eliza. Sable is played by Arden. Isolde is played by Poor Weather. Zeke is played by Devious Vaccuum.
And our Games Mouse is Grant.

It seems like you’re going to go through an entire adventure in spider town without mentioning the world’s greatest two-word phrase: orb weavers. It refers to any spider that makes circular Charlotte’s Web type webs, which includes most American web builders.
Summer 10 - East Patrol Weathers The Storm

I am on episode nine, but I wanted to say how much I love spider livestock.
Imagining in universe memes for them the same way we do with cats and dogs. Just, pictures of spiders inside boxes. “when you ask the spider what it’s chewing on and then they start chewing faster.” putting various clothing and accessories on them.
