I guess Mr. Raffles could be running the shop for a while. Out of interest, do we know where this is set, and how illegal it is to be a trickster?
We can probably take some consolation in that no-one seems to have died as a result of these attacks and so if Tish is somehow found guilty, she's likely on the hook for assault rather than murder.
Pretty sure Uncle Leo lives in Gardenia... so if the king is to be believed, and really he ought to know, technically legal, but also legal to kill you. Tish did say that authorities look the other way.
Regardless, for once, I don't think that's really the issue here.

I believe he lives in Varia (http://dhscomix.com/comics/comic.php?v=15&p=4). ...At least, that is so if any of Jinx's tale is to be believed. And I don't know how illegal it really is to be a trickster there...
which is funny to say the least since I set Puyon's story in Varia.. I mean. At least we know it's not
legal to be a trickster there... Hey, Leo's been at this for awhile. He'll be fiiiiine.
I wonder what's gonna be up with the whole legal thing. What exactly to you try someone for, here? Embezzlement ...of blood?

In British law it might count as Grievous Bodily Harm.
Though that does remind me, I meant to ask - what are 'blood regs'?

Regs are things people use to cast spells... 'regeants' being what they're actually called. So more obscure/complex spells/curses might use blood as a regeant for which Tish seems to be the only supplier of, so yeah, that'll raise some eyebrows.

Aah, that makes more sense. 'Regs' normally stands for 'regulations' and have never come across it as a shorthand for 'reagents'. They're not even pronounced the same way...

Ultima Online >:3 Oh the hours spent at the bank tricking piles of regs from people

I was wanting to know that myself. Makes sense now!
Fair enough! I've updated the comic to make it more clear that regs are reagents. Thanks! :3

Thanks. I don't remember seeing any of the Ultima games call them that either, though I never played UO.
