head to the shop

+1

[March]

You head into the shop; various types of weapons are displayed nearly everywhere on the stone walls and where there isn't there's barrels full of weapons and boxes full of weapons and bins full of weapons and large weapons hung from the rafters... there is a rather peculiar person wearing a grimy suit of full plate mail with a rather fancy looking sword lashed down the front of it working the counter.
"Welcome to the Singing Sword, we have; swords, maces, axes, hammers, staves, clubs, you want a crossbow we got those, you looking for spears we got them right here, you name it we make it right here at the Singing Sword, now accepting trade ins and donations, limited time holds on magical items thirty days." the armored man seems to be done with his spiel for now.

”is there a way to test out different weapons? I haven’t used one before”

[March]

”is there a way to test out different weapons? I haven’t used one before” you ask the armored man, "^{test out weapons how obse}- I mean of course you want to try them out..." the man moves a barrel of swords and some boxes of knives out of the way of a door and opens it to another room, "there's my old... target dummy... back there you can use ^{for your sick}- I mean for weapon testing of course, but you break ^erm it you buy it."

"Ah! Thank you!"
Pick out a nice sturdy maul with a fair bit of heft to it, and take it out back. Look over the target dummy-- how sturdy is it?

[March]

"Ah! Thank you!", you tell the armored man, and proceed to pull a nice looking maul off a wall; it is pretty hefty.
You then go into the back room, there's equipment here for repairing and sizing armor and a few scattered pieces of what looks like parts of the armored man's full plate out front, and a rather bulky and crude looking 'target dummy'.

You look over the target dummy; it's some sort of inactive construct of wood & straw & leather made in the form of a human. It certainly looks like it could take an inordinate amount of abuse, and hitting it wouldn't be too hard in its prone position.

hit it with the maul. Are we good at maneuvering it?

[March]

You swing the maul into the target dummy; (12hits, 7resisted for 3 bludgeoning) it bounces off its left shoulder with a dull thud.

You ascertain that while your body could wield this weapon you are not proficient in it.

continue practicing

[March]

You practice a bit more with the maul throwing a few more strikes at the dummy; (20crits, 16 resisted for 8 bludgeoning), (16hits, 4 resisted for 2 bludgeoning), (7misses), (11hits, 5 resisted for 2 bludgeoning), (15hits, 5 resisted for 2 bludgeoning)
Your laying into the training dummy has given you a decent feel for this maul (2d6).

head back into the shop and ask “how much does the maul cost? I am interested in purchasing it”

[March]

You head back into the shop and ask the keeper, “how much does the maul cost? I am interested in purchasing it”

"That maul, fifty five measures.", the armored man tells you. "That's ridiculous!" says Makdt "I could rent an entire inn in pas for a week for 55m, there's no way that lump of metal and wood is worth 15m, let alone the 55m your asking for.", "It is what it is, economy and what not." the armored man tries to bluff.

[Naturegirl1999]

pay the measures

[Superdorf]

No no wait, we're not proficient!

Put back the maul. Seek out a greatclub, and go try that.
