Our mission was to renew a patch of the eastern scent line. The scent line is used to ward off predators by marking Mouse territories with the scent of a big predator.

But first we stopped by Lonepine where we found the lumber mill was malfunctioning. The mayor said it was a curse from the Beaver. Millicent fixed the mill and painted blue blue on it in case it was sabotage.

Mary took all the kids on a hike, got lost again and ended up in the pond where the female Beaver threatened them and drove them off.

That night I stayed up to watch the mill but got bored and went out to do active patrolling. On returning the mill had been cursed again so I tried to fix the machinery. In the morning the other PCs arrived the find the mill machinery disassembled (the re-assembly instructions are really quite vague).

We tried again the next night. Caught the mayor but he believably explained he was making sure we weren't messing with the mill. By this point Eric was too frustrated and so he headed to do our real mission.

When we got to the border a mouse guard approached us, Elemor (or something like that). His squad had been captured by four Weasels. My squad wanted to go in immediate hot pursuit but I convinced them that we need to do our job and close the border first.

[ My goal: Do not cross the scent line. For this roll I spent some resources to add five dice and then add another die after the initial roll. Eric was not willing to match my stakes so even with the help of Mary I convinced Eric and Mary to stay. ]

Millicent went with Elemor, found some tracks where the Weasel patrol had handed off the prisoners and then returned back to Mouse lands.

Once we had the border secured we gave chase. Found three of the Weasels attacking a wagon and fought them, saving the drive and his family. Three weasels captured.

Then we tracked the last Weasel. We saw him talking to the female Beaver and then scurry off. Millicent confronted the Beaver, correctly guessing that her husband was prisoner of the Weasels. F Beaver agreed to lift the mill curse if we rescued her husband.

We chased down the last Weasel and captured him. Them Eric did a prisoner exchange (ordering the whole squad over the scent border to meet with the Weasels) and got back M Beaver and the three captured guard mice.

With the mill curse lifted everything should be back to normal in Lonepine.
