Mouse Guard Year 2: Heat
Hail all those who are able. Any mouse can, any mouse will, but the Guard will prevail.
Heroes fall, heroes break, heroes bleed.
They shed bitter tears, pull themselves up, not to concede.
Often are they waylaid and frequent they mourn.
Heroes are rarely made and even more seldom born.
Not till after they die, do mice sing of their tale.
A job, a duty, a thankless obligation not to fail.
Still many a mouse think only the name is required.
What becomes of them? They either quit or expired.
- A Heroes' Warning, by the Scribe Roibin
Two patrols of mice venture forth to guard the territories in year 1149. They are the Mouse Guard, heroes in name and deed. Were it not for the guard, mouse society could never exist. Under our brave paws, we will keep everymouse safe, from all manner of harm. No matter what.

Heat 01 - Bridge Patrol Fills In The Gaps
Granny, Sable, and Tander are heading to an uncharted corner of the territories, never described by canon before - and that means we get to make up what we find there! With Tander along to teach Sable how to use a sword, Granny leads the Bridge Patrol to the southernmost corner of the territories to repair distrust in the Oakgrove metropolitan area.

Heat 02 - Bat Patrol Escorts The VIP
Zeke, Lily, Isolde, and Francisca have been sent to Ivydale to escort someone important. Their mission is secret: they don't know their destination, who they're protecting, or why. They don't even know when their escort is supposed to be here, and that means its time to eat bread and draw pictures until they show up.

Sable and Tander practice their swordsmanship while Granny leads them to the bridge project they're here to protect. The old bridge fell apart, and the new bridge's construction is slow - there are idle hands at play here, and Bridge Patrol is here to put them back to work.
