The price of the spell to undo the invisibility has now gone up to 100,000 gold.

What you do not see or smell is Vizzini, the most serious Sicilian when it comes to death known to man.

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

[-] [email protected] 51 points 1 day ago

I definitely saw that version too, i guess it was a fan edit and i only found this lol

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago

the one i saw each of the last two panels had progressively more items missing

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that sounds about right for what I remember, too.

The actual comic, with actual credit instead of whatever mangled malarkey the OP is

Roguelike shopkeepers know this trick - that's why they always stand in front of the door as soon as you pick something up.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

A lot of people didn't get your reference it seems.

my cat Mittens likes to pick things up. I just keep the shopkeeper distracted while she purrloins various wares.

Pawn shops may have locked doors that someone behind the counter has to trigger to open.

Went to one once (California) and think they said the fire chief had approved the system. Quick search shows perhaps that’s plausible.

Neck stabby

Ah so that's why the nazgul always hunt the ring bearer. They're store security

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

Amateur move. The rest of the items are still in the shop.

STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM

Anti magic field and guards at the door if he's not naive.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

just have an enchanted fitting booth, sealed floor to ceiling and the door leaves no gap.

TBF: You meant True Sight. 🤓

AMF'd nullify the magic store's wares and the guards'd be at disad to do shit w/o it on them, anyhow.

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

There should be a visible magnetic tag floating in the air.

The ring is also cursed to be unremovable. You either need to get used to stealing every single mundane item from clothes to food every single day or pay the shopkeeper to remove it.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

You can leave money for purchases on the counter, etc

[-] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

That could make for a fun little side plot setup. Whole town is convinced it's haunted, but it's just some guy who doesn't have a good grasp on common stuck in a cursed ring of invisibility.
