But there is another way!!!!! in some games a shop may look like this: --------- |*$!??%]+##@ <-- you the hero |!*%!)/?| # |H%$)//%| # |!!!$)%?| ######## |..@....| -----+--- # # # ######### in this situation you could com in from the door at the top and take a few/all of the items in the store and just exit the way you came... it is very rare that the shoppkeeper will venture onto any of the items.. but there will be now way the shoppkeeper will try to harm you unless you hit him and make him mad!!!! have fun!! A bit of Trivia... The only way to kill the **WIZARD** (not the character type) is to have him choke on some food (pancake, food ration etc...)
