Break-In
As the sun started to set, you went to work on repairing your home. Thankfully, besides your gate and your door, most of the damage was a few holes in the walls. It wouldn't take long to fix.
At least, that's what you thought until you got back inside.
As soon as you got inside, instead of a series of head sized holes in your back wall, there was not a single large one. A hole large enough for a man to get through.
A hole that leads straight to your escape tunnel.
"Oh no..." You mutter as you grab your lantern and sprint through escape tunnel. You thought that it would be safe back there. Anyone who would want to steal from you would have to get past two floors worth of traps and your soldiers to get to it.
As you go through your tunnel, your worst fears are realized.
You don't know who did it. Maybe it was an adventurer, maybe it was a neighbor, maybe it was just someone who passed by your house. Whoever it was, they took a lot of stuff from your stash.
Your Gold is what you first notice was gone. Well, not all of it, but as you start to count, you realize that almost half of the gold you had is gone.
You scramble to see what else is gone. Your knives are there, your armor is here, the halberd is here, as is your health potion.
But your gauntlets are both gone.
If there was small blessing, is that you don't see any footprints other than your own going any further. Whoever was in here, you don't think, that they didn't go any further. They apparently were content with what they had already taken. Or they were loaded down. So they didn't find the exit to your tunnel.
It was a small blessing, considering what you've already lost.
But after all this, after finally fighting off adventurers, after finally defending your home, someone walked through your door and took your things.
AGAIN!
Your hands start to shake. You put in so much work to defend yourself and...
You take a deep breath. Getting angry wasn't going to do you any good if you didn't follow it up with action. You weren't letting that happen again. But first, you needed to fix the damage to your home. It was going to be a larger job than you planned, but you could still do it.
