Woo, let's Find Taylor
Also, kill the merchant with our leftovers if he tries to get at our valuables (I believe our Stairway traps are still good, and our pantry has Russian Livestock Rations).
I suggest we post the job, but with a 50-250 bonus if they find him alive, as in guarantee his life until we get news of him.

I take offense to that! Those aren't Russian Livestock Rations.
They're also for soldiers and prisoners!
Does that make the latter livestock as well, or just eating like one?

Finding a Missing Person
You place the notice on the job board. Since it was just a local bar, the jobs tended to have relatively small rewards anyway.
Part of you wonders if you should have increased the reward, but what's done is done. Maybe some adventurers will take the job anyway to help find a missing person.
Hopefully.
As you walk outside, you see that the sun is starting to set. You almost didn't notice how quickly the day seemed to pass you by. Still, there are still a few hours left in the day and you were free to choose what to do.

Could I convince people to go with this?
We have far more gold than we can easily turn into parts, and should be able to buy some magical gewgaws to give us a little extra protection/killines, as well as getting our magical stuff identified/sold.
I, for one, think it is worthwhile delaying fixing our house for a turn to grab some personal protection while we are in town.
I'm not sure the efficiency dividends are large enough to justify doing it before we are at least reasonably secure, though. Having to rejigger some traps at some later point when we are in a position to expand could be annoying, but not being prepared could be fatal right now. That said, expansion plans are definitely something we should draw up at some stage, probably before the next major round of trap upgrades.

That's not something I'd considered, but it makes sense.

Depending on how messed up our house got after the most recent episode we might want to put off spending that money since we may need it to fix up our house.

We already did the damage estimate, remember?
There are 20 parts worth of damage, and we just bought five times that in parts, for ~1/8 of the funds we have available.
I don't think that is a concern.
Especially since by the time we can buy more parts, we will probably have been paid for the apothecary job.

That was before our house got invaded again after we did damage estimates.

Call me crazy, but I prefer to restrict myself to information we have IC when deciding what to vote on.
Even if we were to take that as an admissible piece of evidence, though, do you really think that a lone merchant, whose bodyguard does not appear to give enough of a fuck to come in after them, is likely to do over five times as much damage as a melee involving a mage and a crazy brute?
I mean, say we left ourselves 1000-ish gold, spending 4000 on magic defences. That'd leave us enough for ~120 more parts, leaving us ~200 parts after the original repairs.
That lone merchant would have to do over 10 times as much damage as the adventurers' raid for us not to have enough on hand to fix the house.
It is possible, I guess, but it doesn't seem hugely likely.
Compared to the very real risks of something happening to us because we are too weak to protect ourselves, I don't think it is significant.

If the merchant is only after a kill-confirmation on one of the attackers, there shpuldn't be any live traps between him and the bodies.Conspirisy Theory Time: The merchant/bodyguard is our brother and has been / will be killed by our own traps
Unless they do something right daft, they shouldn't be at much risk.

In character, I think fixing things before more intruders pop up would be a good idea; our home has been made undefended, and so we best get it defended again before more trouble happens. Of course, we don't know that trouble has already struck...
