Seems rather common among a lot of games with a medieval setting. Which is a... lot of games.

I wanted to share this. I hope it makes sense to people who don't play MouseHunt.

This is fanart for MouseHunt, a game where catching mice is a job in and of itself. To catch mice, you need to buy a mousetrap and a base for said mousetrap. The 'small little piece of wood' is the base of the trap.




Oh, and a bottle of glue costs 850 gold, and the typical wire-spring mousetrap we're all familar with costs 900 gold :D

Much of it won't really make sense if you haven't played MouseHunt though.
