Thank you Miner, May I call you that as your first name sounds-
*step back with a 20 foot pole* kind of silly.
When I sent in mine snaps I really did not think I had a chance to win, but wanted to show some idea I have seen on other shards and ask they keep it simple inside, just make it look like a bank and not a home.
Snap #2 shows the back side with stairs going up, so those monsters that invade next time can chase you right up the roof. Oh and those non magery folks can now get up there.
Reminds me of an old story of an old dog my grandparents had, when I was a child this dog would baby sit me, and chase the cat off that would strike at me, I assume I was mean to the cat but love the dog, who know. Well this cat would run up a tree and jump to the roof and turn around and go like na na can't get me.
Well one day that cat hit me and the dog was after it, up the tree went the cat and a jump to the roof, only when it turn to go na na the dog was there, seems the dog learn how to get to the roof using another tree that it could run up. The cat left the roof in one of those flying squirrel ways, and never bother me again.
As for the Dog, it learn how to get up and down on that tree very easy and would lay up there ready to ambush that cat or anyone else.
