Added lootable RATIONS and MENDING OINTMENT.

Gossiping with patrons/people quests:
Should have a randomized list of people you can talk to.
- The GRUMPY ELF
- The STERN BOUNTY HUNTER
- The BROKEN DOWN PALADIN
- The CONCERNED BARKEEP
- The SCARED NOBLEWOMAN
- Cancel
They will all have a quest associated to them.
The GRUMPY ELF for example will tell the player to find 2 LAIR MAPS then return to them.
If player has these 2 items, it'll lead to the dragon's hoard. Player can
pay a small fee of 5sp. to immediately embark.

Obvious idea: to be able to use items like healing potions on the spot instead of picking it up and having to put it in inventory.

TROLL enemy added. Might need some more work but it seems functional.

Currently working on adding a troll enemy. It will have a special ability and might be difficult to kill.

Created a colorful offensive spell animation

Frequent small updates because I keep finding bugs. Stores not working properly, spells costing 0 mp, 0 shield not removing the shield, 0 life not killing the player immediately.

In process of re-adding lengthy dungeons.

Surprised how much people like this game. There's not much to it yet, compared to what I want for it.

All current ideas:
