I've decided to play through the whole game again and I got past the point. Did you set it up so that you have to talk to the cyan nose before you can leave the catacombs without getting robbed? Because thats most likely why. This game is great either way :)
You should only get robbed once in the catacombs, when you're going in, which takes away your ability to transform until later on when you get it back. I don't know if that's what happened for you, but you shouldn't be being robbed again when you leave the area. Regardless, glad you've enjoyed it!
