Mouse Guard: Tales of the Black Forest
The Tale of Sharpwind’s Patrol, Part 1: “A Pilgrimage”
The Mouse Guard patrol we created in episodes 11 & 12 goes on its first mission. As spring breaks in the year 867, Matriarch Leofcwen gives the patrol its orders, to escort a group of pilgrims to Marstowe, a famous shrine in the Black Forest and Sineth’s hometown.

Rules Corrections
We got some rules wrong here, which shouldn’t seem too shocking for our first full mission, but I want to correct them here in the notes for the record.
If Nature, Will, Health, Resources or Circles is being tested, anyone can help. (p. 93)
If a skill or wise is being tested, you must help with one of your own skills or wises. (p. 94)
You may give your team members helping dice for disposition rolls and tests for actions in a conflict. (p. 102)
Acknowledgements
I owe some thanks here to Judd Karlman, of Sons of Kryos fame. I read about his owl cult on the Burning Wheel forums, and took no small amount of inspiration from that. I doubt I have the same end in mind for my crazy cult as his, but it’s a great idea that I completely stole from him.
