Imagine this situation: ------------- you You have fairly decent armor and hit points |OOOO!!?!!! |/ but no *powerful* magic items. You have not |OOO!!!*!!* @####### had lepracaun stew on your diet. What |OOOO!!$!!!@| # do you do???? ------------- # shopkeeper^ Easy!! - you throw an arrow or two (or a worthless item) at the orcs. the orcs will move forward toward the door - LET THEM. When they get to to the doorway, step backwards a step. The leading orc will advance. Kill it, another orc will step forward. do this until no more orcs advance. Move up the bodies and What do you find?? - objects the orcs picked up as they were leaving the shop!! (especially gems and gold) You did not have to even throw them tripe! Repeat this until out of orcs or the few remaining retreat. Sell the gems back to the shop keeper and get gold$ Remember - the shopkeeper does not charge you with items the monsters take. G.Host
