Using a simplified version of Burning Wheel, you are a member of the Guard tasked with protecting mousekind from the dangers between the towns where they dwell. Gwendolyn, the matriarch of the Guard, has sent your patrol to help a convoy carrying desperately needed food South to Sprucetuck. The Spring is upon the land and the snowmelt swells the streams to near overflowing. The Weather Watchers predict more rain. The Guard must prevail!
