Mugged, Plundered and Looted

I received this letter yesterday from Andrej Pike:

The looted shop My dear homeys!

Now, two days afta' ah' have' made mah' "Pike's Woodworks and Chemistry" shoppe public, some row uh locked down tables wuz opened by some bug 'sploit, and da damn crib wuz looted.

Dat be de most frutratin' thing dat eva' happened to me. Da damn tables in mah house were definately all locked down, ah' duzn't know which bug wuz used da'e. Sheeeiit!
Ha'e's some rough ova'view uh whut had been looted. Dig dis:

- About 2000 greata' poshuns uh all kinds
- About 1000 reagents uh each
- 5000 logs
- My book collecshun uh about 50 books
- A chest full uh furniture
- A box wid unique items
- A box full uh weapons
- A toolbox
- A bag full uh food
- A chest full uh worthless stuff
- Much more things ah' duzn't rememba'.

I heareby declare mah' public shop as private again, and ah' fear ya' gots' one less mearchant in yo Virtue Village, for ah' am now some poor dude. I had invested eva'y gold coin t' git da damn ressources in orda' to serve mah' future customa's.
As ya' gots'ta unda'stand, da damn grand openin' event planned on January 4th will not take place, and ah' am thinkin' uh sellin' dis crib again and leave da village. Maybe it will do me good t' go on some pilgrimage and try t' forget about it. In fact, dis acshun destroyed about four months uh hard work, and ah' duzn't feel motivated t' continue doin' dis. I dink ah' gots'ta tear down da "Pike's Woodworks and Chemistry", sell da deed, and try t' git some equipment for mah' journeys.
I wants' t' dank all, who tried t' avoid dis mess, and helped durin' mah' absence!

I wish ya' more luck dan I had, and ah' hope ya' neva' gots'ta make an experience likes dis! May peace and freedom comfort yo life!

Some witnesses were able to follow the looters through their gate, so I was able to get the location of their building. It is located not far from Vesper, in nort-eastern direction:

House of the lootersOne of the bug users and looters

The looters were JamesTowN (obviously a mule and GM smith), and the murderer Pandemonium, who supported them to fight back the attacks of my friends who tried to prevent the crime.
