I started having major mob break ins to my base. First I was ambushed by a spider while walking from building to building, which I promptly killed. I then placed torches anywhere I though he could have spawned inside my base because I was startled by the spider attack as an enemy had never made it into my base before. A game day later I find a zombie hopping up the steps to my watch-tower, I struggled to kill him as I had forgotten to build a replacement sword. When I finally killed him I looked outside and there were roughly 4 Creepers bouncing around outside my perimeter wall. I reassured myself that they had no way of getting in, even though a zombie just had (which was silly of me). I then went down into and then into my underground sanctuary where I worked until I ran out of wood so I went outside to find a Creeper outside my front door. I stood there waiting for it to disappear in the daylight but it simply didn't. I pulled out my bow, aimed, right clicked and opened the door. Quickly realising what I had done I sped down to my sanctuary. However I was too slow and the Creeper exploded, followed by another and another.
My house is a crater, water from what was my small farm is poring in to the crater and flooding all my subterranean hallways. My sanctuary is probably still intact but I can't get there without drowning.
I had about half a day to salvage what I could and head out into the middle of a nearby lake where no enemies can reach me. So far I have built a stone platform that will be the base of my fortress however I still have to be careful, it appears that Creepers can swim and there is one bobbing outside my storeroom window.
