You (plural) own a dungeon!

Ask them, "Who dares to enter our realm?"

They look around, startled by the strange voice they hear in their mind.

"Jacob doesn't like this!" he screeches, smacking his fist against the wall.

> RELEASE THE KRAKENS

A trapdoor opens above the room, and several kraken tentacles reach down to grab Jacob. They swing, screaming, but he is too weak and is easily restrained and lifted up into the ceiling. A brief snacking sound indicates the kraken has finished this meal.

You couldn't afford to straight up put a kraken in the room, so you hope this will do. (-50 gold)

A brief silence gives you time to relax. However, voices can be heard from outside your realm of power, calling in for Jacob.

Ruffians are usually pretty greedy. Offer them one gold piece to guard our empty hoard. If they refuse, point out that there's no actual treasure to take, so this is a pretty good deal for them.

Worst case, they take our one gold and run, but then they're out of our hair and we only spent one gold, so it's all good.

Although this could have been a good and cost effective solution to Jacob, it could still be applied to his friends you suspect are coming.

You place a single gold piece on the ground, with a little note that explains the above (but not that Jacob is dead; who even is Jacob anyways hahaha). (-1 gold)

Three more ruffians enter the dungeon.

#1: "What the...? Where did he go?"
#2: "Now we'll never get our money."
#3 & #1: *cussing*

#2 picks up the note and gold piece on the ground. "Too bad I can't read," he says.

The kraken clicks in anticipation of a potential next meal.
