The

Shattered
The syrup-making mice of Maplemoor maintain a wide perimeter of
defences, including Oakhollow Keep, which overlooks the southern ridge
of their sheltered valley. However, the colony has not received word from

Oak
the Oakhollow garrison in two days and Aldermouse Maira Tendertail
is worried. She asks you to investigate and, if necessary, to secure the keep.

WORKSHOP
What’s really going on?
With his own borders under pressure—
and recognizing Oakhollow Keep’s
strategic location—the crafty rat baron
Oswald convinced the hawk Gelfrad to
airdrop his rat soldiers into the tower. The
mouse garrison was defeated before they
could send a horsefly messenger to alert
Maplemoor. Now, the baron is moving his
assets into the keep while his soldiers feed
the captured mice to the hawk, one by one...
Secrets & Rumours
Shared by Maira or discovered along the way.
†† Many threats live on the other side of the
ridge, including the cat lord Silus, the rat
baron Oswald, the fanatical Order of the
Mongoose and various birds of prey.
†† The keep stands alone at the crest of a
grassy hill; the approach offers nowhere
to hide in broad daylight.
†† The keep is outfitted with defenses and
traps to keep out and subdue intruders.
†† There is a workshop hidden in the roots
of the keep, unbeknownst even to its
garrison; an “eccentric” alchemist works
on a project of great import.
