Daves Discount Dojo

Dave's Discount Dojo is a business in the south of the Main City, near the gate to the North City. The owner, Jason Nameh, is a gruff half-orc who prefers to go by the name of Dave. The "dojo," styling itself a a cheap alternative to the monastic martial training of the south of Paral offers surprisingly competent instruction on self-defense.

If a student particularly impresses Dave, he will offer more advanced training that can put them on the same level of competence as professionally trained combatants.

There are several infamous challenges, all of which must be completed before challenging Dave himself. These include:
 * 1) The Forest of Nails: Dave sets up numerous wooden poles with nails hammered through them.  They are placed densely on uneven ground and a bell is placed in the center.  The student must ring the bell within a time limit without scratching themselves or their clothing..
 * 2) The Wall: In the middle of the night, Dave pours cooking oil down the side of the Main-North Gate.  The student must climb the gate within a time limit.
 * 3) The Ice Trek: Beyond the northern edge of the North City is a hidden shack built by Dave.  Inside is a supply of food, firewood, and liquor.  The student is given 24 hours to travel to the shack while wearing nothing but a heavy iron ball and chain and return with some trinket Dave has left there.
 * 4) The Night Out: The student is given five bottles of strong liquor mixed with diluted dangerous alchemical substances and puzzle pieces at the bottom.  The student is given one night to complete the puzzle without spilling a single drop of the liquor.
 * 5) The Beast of Burden: Dave hides twenty solid blocks of iron throughout the area surrounding the "dojo."  The student is given a wooden sled to carry them on and is tasked with returning all of the blocks by sundown.
