oldest trick in the book
-
Amateur move. The rest of the items are still in the shop.
-
the one i saw each of the last two panels had progressively more items missing
Yeah, that sounds about right for what I remember, too.
-
Anti magic field and guards at the door if he’s not naive.
-
Roguelike shopkeepers know this trick - that’s why they always stand in front of the door as soon as you pick something up.
Neck stabby

Huh, I swear I’ve seen a version of this comic where the shopkeeper has been robbed blind in the last panel.

Who cares if your wares are temporarily nullified. Some scofflaw is making off with your child’s sword training money. Time to use AMF and beat them with a stick.
But true sight is better. I totally forgot about it lol.

There should be a visible magnetic tag floating in the air.
-
The price of the spell to undo the invisibility has now gone up to 100,000 gold.
