You put up several defensive measures to thwart an ambush, including:

1) You use your powerful Illusion magic, combined with some Destruction magic, to create shapeless self-sustaining energy avatars to wander outside the Sanctuary as guards.  If they spot attackers, they morph into an attacker's worst fear and relentlessly attack with spells associated with that particular fear.  If they are attacked, they self-destruct killing the nearest foe within 3 feet.

2) You seal the holes in the ceiling with Madness Wards, a self-sustaining spell you created during your training with the Psijic Order that drives any being that touches it insane by subjecting them to their worst fears.

3) You use Illusion magic to change the Black Door's question to: "What is creation's greatest prison?" and the passphrase to: "The mind, my friend."

4) You link your mind to the Black Door, so if the Black Door is destroyed, you subconsciously create a Madness Ward over the entrance.

5) You create an escape tunnel coming up outside Falkreath off the main road hidden by shrubbery.  The exit is covered by a small Madness Ward only you can dispel.

After these precautions are taken, you feel safer. Now do you:

A. Send someone to check in with the Thieves Guild

B. Return to your duties as advisor for the day in order to pay for a second upgrade and potentially get valuable information.
