The guy travelling with you puts an arrow in the thing and you fire off a lightning bolt. The troll falls over, dead.

Race : Human Description : Descendant of a great hero, her pedigree has led to high expectations throughout life, until she finally grew sick of it and ran away from home, off to make her own name where she is still unknown. Rather bratty and aggressive. Inventory (0.2/1) : * White Cotton Button-Down Shirt (Weight 0.1) * Brown Cotton Slacks (Weight 0.1)
Skills : - Lightning Bolt Lv 1 (Ranged Magic) (+1 INT , +1 AIM) (-1 MP) - Fire off a bolt of lightning.
You give your shirt and warhammer to the smith for safekeeping, say byes and head off to look for a magic shop.
You do eventually find one, with a sign displaying "Magical Items and Antiques" above the door. Letting yourself in, you're greeted by a man wearing a robe and a pointy hat.
Looking around, it looks more like an antique store than a store that has magical weapons.

- Concussive Blow Lv 1 (Melee Physical) (+X STR) (-1 SP) - Increase the strength of a blunt strike with 25% of the weapon's weight. The damage values for sharp weapons are nullified. - Stunning Blow Lv 1 (Melee Physical) (Debuff : -X AGI) (-1 SP) - Use 25% of the weight of a weapon to lower a target's AGI. If the target's AGI goes below 1, they become unconcious. Debuff wears off by 1 every turn. Effect lowered by enemy armor.

You back up while firing an arrow into the thing. Though it attempts to dodge, it fails and gets a spikey thing in its stomach. An arrow out of nowhere strikes the troll as well, hitting it in the chest. The troll falls forward face-down into the bridge while a bolt of lightning out of nowhere strikes it.
A man runs up to your side with a spear at the ready. You see that it's one of the guys from the tavern, Jantus.

You fire an arrow at the large thing in the dark, and it drops. The light-haired girl is sure to put a lightning bolt into it though before it hits the ground.

Lightning arcing all over your body? Can you even do that?
(No)
Wait, who said that?
Anyways, looks like the troll's dead anyways, after getting hit by two arrows and a lightning bolt.

- Golden Shears (Weight : 0.1) Skills : - Lightning Bolt Lv 1 (Ranged Magic) (+1 INT , +1 AIM) (-1 MP) - Fire off a bolt of lightning.
The man standing in front of the troll quickly backs up and fires a bow an arrow, launching a projectile into the troll's stomach. Another arrow comes out of nowhere and hits it in the chest, followed by a lightning bolt. The troll falls over, dead.
You walk up beside the man, and it looks like it's Vesh. The Troll, meanwhile, certainly looks dead. That 0 HP display ain't lying.
<< Conditions : HP : 4/4 SP : 3/3 MP : 1/1
Race : Human Description : A large, pale man with jet black hair. He has a thick build and a goatee with stubble. He doesn't move very fast, nor is he very smart. He is, however, as strong as an ox and as lucky as a leprechaun. Inventory (3.8/8) : * White Cotton Button-Down Shirt (Weight 0.1) * Brown Cotton Slacks (Weight 0.1)
Vesh backs up and fires off an arrow into the Troll. The Troll attempts to dodge (Vesh : 8.5 AIM + 0 LUK = 7 vs 3 = 3 AGI + 0 LUK : Troll), but fails, and gets the pointy thing in its stomach. (Damage : 5.5 = 8.5 AIM - 3 AGI + 5 STR - 5 PDF)
(Troll HP 7 -> 1.5)
Mark then shoots at the Troll (Mark : 1 AIM + 4 LUK = 5 vs 0 = 0 AGI + 0 LUK) (Damage : 5 = 6.5 AIM - 0 AGI + 5 STR - 5 PDF).
>Now's not the time to contemplate suicide, try stabbing the corpse to see if the shear does anything strange, otherwise follow the group a bit disappointed since you can only arc lightning on beds.

Re: Into Unknown Lands - (6/6) - Roll 15
Updated rules again. You all have a Stat Reset Potion added to your inventory. Drink it and all your stats will be set to one and your unspent skill points will equal your current level.
You fire a lightning bolt off in a random direction out of frustration, and Erale pats your shoulder before checking out the large beast corpse.

You ask for the most expensive mystical bauble that he has for around 70 gold.
???: "Well, I have these."
- Enchanted Compass (Weight : 0.1) - Sometimes will lead you to places of interest. 70 gold.
???: "I've used this one to find a lot of the stuff you see in shop! I've found a more reliable way to acquire magic items though, so you can buy it."
Right now it looks like the needle of the compass is spinning all over the place, probably from being in a shop full of magic items.
- Hero's Boomerang (Weight : 0.3) (Active : +2 STR) - Mystical throwing item that will return to you at the end of your turn. 50 gold. - Ellusion Cape (Weight : 0.1) (Passive : +5 AGI) - 60 gold.

Drains 0.1 MP per turn, and additional MP equal to the damage of the attack it is deflecting. Damage deflection limit is your INT. - Kinetic Strike Lv1 (Melee Magic) (+X STR) (-X MP) - Spend MP to increase physical attacks by the amount of MP spent. Maximum daamge boost is equal to your INT. - Aim Assist (Buff Magic) (+X AIM) (-X MP) - Increase your AGI for a turn by the amount of MP spent. - Mana Projection (Magic) (-X MP) - Project your mana outward in its raw form, refilling a target's MP equal to your MP spent.

You continue past the bridge and the head north into a pitch-black forest.
It's dark.
Maybe this was a bad idea.

You head over to the troll's body, where you see the spearman looks like someone from the tavern. Jantus, you think his name was.
He hacks off the gead of the troll with the head of his spear and you retrieve not one, but two arrows from the troll.
Erale comes up to the troll and tries to stab the thing with her shears, but the troll's hide seems too thick.

Mikoto lets off a bolt of lightning in frustration, and you give her a pat on the shoulder before heading to the troll's body with the bow-wielding guy who was following you. He retrieves arrows from the body, and you decide to stab the troll's body to see if the shears do anything.
Hmm, nope. Troll's hide is a little too thick for your shears to go through, and nothing noteworthy happens, except for the spear guy cutting off the troll's head and stashing it in his inventory. He looks like Jantus, from the tavern.

You use the head of the spear to hack off the troll's head, which is pretty heavy, and stuff it into your inventory.
Meanwhile, a man and woman head over your way to inspect the troll. The man is carrying a bow and retrieves two arrows from the body, while the woman stabs the body with... Scissors?
You recognize the woman as Erale, and the man is another guy from the tavern, but you never caught his name.

I can call it the spinal tap.
