What do you do?
Confront the intruder
You decide it's time to take action. You may not have heard her enter, but now you're the one with the element of surprise.
Okay, on three. 1... 2... 3!
You quickly reach for your spear to threaten whoever is there into leaving. Instead, your hand finds a slender arm holding onto the spear. You hear a startled shriek, the arm lets go and tries to move back, but you hold on tight. With your other hand, you quickly grab the spear and hold it out of reach.
"Let go of me." She cries out. "Please, I didn't mean any harm."
"I find it hard to believe that the intruder trying to steal my spear is actually innocent. Why don't we have a talk outside before we wake up anyone else?" And you drag her with you out the door, before letting go of her arm.
Outside in the moonlight, you can finally see what's going on. In front of you stands the cloaked figure you saw while wandering around earlier today. She's quite short as she only comes to your shoulders. Her face is well hidden within the hood of her cloak, but you can see strands of shoulder-length silver hair reveal themselves. She shies away from you as you try to look at her.
