With the recent bandit invasion, the Darkwood Manor's defenses have dwindled somewhat. Militia patrols are no longer as hefty as before, making forcing oneself in or sneaking in more viable.

The barrier which helped keep the spirits from simply wandering out has also dwindled to the point of no longer functioning, giving the spirits within free reign to stalk out if they so choose.

It is highly likely that this will not remain the same forever, though.
