How to undo the work of a griefer

I found this forum looking for help with One Hour One Life and I read a lot of threads before I posted here. So, this is more for newer players since most of you know this stuff but please add what you know! I'm always learning new things.

Most of the things griefers do can be easily reversed.

The Sheep are Out of the Pen!
Don't assume this is griefing. People break pens by mistake. But if it is broken in more than one place it was probably a griefer. Don't panic. If the sheep are alive and near this is easy to fix.

fix the pen if you know how read Pein's thread on building pens to learn how.
find a rope. this is an acceptable time to raid the milkweed garden without re-planting first, but do re-plant milkweed later or put the rope near the milkweed garden. If there is no rope but you have a good idea where wild milkweed is say you are going to get rope (so two people don't go) and get the rope.
make a berry and carrot bowl and place in pen. You can place the rope in the pen so people know that part is done
wait till one of the escaped domestic sheep has a baby and moves away from it. Lead it in to the pen with rope. Only do this if the pen is repaired
feed the baby sheep right after you let it go
return rope to milkweed garden
kill the sheep that got out and bring their meat to the bakery

A Bear is in town eating people!
Don't assume this is griefing. Though when then bear comes right to the nursery area someone probably did that.

if you are a girl under 40 move away from the area, let other people deal with it. Warn others of the bear and take kids.
otherwise you want to find a bow and shoot the bear with 3 arrows. You can help a lot by making an arrow if one is needed. Shooting bears is tricky the first times you do it, but once you know the way they move it's easy. If you have not shot a bear before you could get killed so think about this.otherwise
try to lead the bear away from town. It will generally move towards you if you are the nearest person to the bear... again do not bother with this if you are one of the fertile women or a young girl (unless you are player with experience killing multiple bears)
find some adobe, or stone and block off the entrance to the bear's cave (block all near by caves) once the bear is dead. Bear caves near or in town should be blocked preemptively so this is a good task.

Someone killed Every Single Sheep!
This is also not as bad as it seems. Now you have a ton of meat, make food. Bad news: this isn't the kind of thing that happens by accident.

if the pen isn't broken this is as easy as getting Mouflon again. Same steps.
often there are domestic sheep that escaped near by anyway so you might not even need to use the bow.

The Tools are Missing!
Don't assume this is griefing. Tools get old. But, if the bellows are gone then that was a griefer.

Look for ax near felled trees
Look for shovel in garden near compost and by the sheep. It could also be near graves, near potatoes or near any fence projects.
If you can't find a tool make a new one. When the lost tool is found you have a back up.
Us a skewer on a ball of clay to make a bellows nozzle and stash it near the smith, having that part ready saves a ton of time if you have to make bellows again.

Preventative measures for sheep killing and escaping.
do not lead the mouflon lamb into the pen, let it roam in the wilds. Also have some adult sheep roam the wilds. Maybe shear them and leave the wool on so they remain put. it's no biggy refeeding it later at an emergency. (saved sheep pens about 5 times this way)

Seems pretty sound. If the bellows is gone, hunting a rabbit might also come as necessary for a water pouch.

If you don't have a bow and 3 arrows, you can lure the bear away. If you have a horse it's really easy to lure away since you can't get hurt, but it's doable without horse and without dying if you're careful. If there's any bear caves close to town, you should block the southern tile so the bears can't get out.

Never kill the mouflon in the sheep pen. He might take up one tile, but he's knife-proof. Makes it a lot harder for a griefer to clear out the pen.

Yeah, leading the bear away is very simple assuming you have good latency. The bear will move to your tile. Simply wait for the bear to start moving and change the tile you are standing on. If you aren't on the same horizontal, vertical, or diagonal it will take the bear two moves to reach you.
