I start practicing half-jogging backwards without jostling around my head and arms, tested by holding a rock in a slightly cupped hand- if it falls, i failed and try again. if i'm slower then half my speed when jogging normally, failed. this is definitely not archery training, so....
I ask the shopkeeper if he's done. if so, I take that wooden thing, and put it on the ground (or rather, on some arrows in the ground, making it vertically a bit different). it is now a different floor. standing on it, i practice arrow-conjuration, since i'm not on that floor any more.
The shopkeeper looks up at you. "Yeah I'm done. Here." He gives thing "that'll be 5 gold"
When you try the thing, a message appears. Yeah no. I'm warning you, don't try bending the rules again, or bad stuff will happen.
The shopkeeper looks up again. "Whoa. Was that the GM speaking to you? If so, you better do what he says. Now where's my gold?" He then proceeds to mumble something. Perception check if you want to try and hear what he said.

Well, shopkeeper man, i don't really believe you, because all i've seen him do is give me messages, for all i know all these limits would be here Without his help. But, if you trust the mysterious bold red text saying bad stuff will happen, I'll accept this wood board in exchange for not trying to bend the rules! otherwise, i borrow some gold from the afk potto. Now that that's over... I take a bunch of summoned arrows and jab them through this wooden thing, so i have a spike floor-y thing on the other side, and snap off the parts protruding on the not-arrowhead side. makeshift mobile spike trap [or] spiky shield get, yes?
You notice that there is no way out of the dungeon. However, as you are searching you spring a trap that for some reason gives you no save and deals exactly 99 damage to you, not even randomized.

I check what kind of trap this is. then, I take a summoned arrow in each hand and start trying to pry away the bricks in the floor to get down another floor in the dungeon. this is a dungeon where you start at the top and go down, right?
You seem to have been stabbed with a bunch of super painful red hot needles. As you try and pry up the bricks, they glow red hot again and you scream and fall to the ground as you light up with pain.
You realize that I'm an all powerful being and if you try bending the rules I will personally make your life a living hell? Now, those needles in you will make sure that you don't try bending the rules, as they will cause you unimaginable pain if you try anything that isn't to my liking. Don't try removing them.
The shopkeeper yells out to you. "Did he just give you the needles? I bet he gave you the needles. Yeah, those things suck."

You are already trying to take them off as you realize you mistake. You try it, but they don't come off. They're stuck to you. You're like a porcupine, but your spines are inverted!
I hope you've learned your lesson, if not, pain will happen. Here, I'm in a better mood now.
You feel better now. 99 HP healed! The spikes are pretty itchy though.

That would be swiftness or dodge training. Which one would you prefer?
6/20 swiftness thing or dodge thing.
aulumos feels a bit queasy, but is fine. Do you head up?
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
I want to be better at half-jogging backwards without jostling my head or arms, so whichever that is is what i want.
That would be a swiftness check so you're training swiftness.
6/20 swiftness
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
I try to keep training swiftness 8
if that is impossible for some reason, i start training reflexes instead.
Reflexes 8/20
You have reached the maximum amount of training for this floor!
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
I check if there's anything significant around me.

As you try to take the gold, you don't. Huh.
You hear him say something like this "Frog GM's attention, must beep cry die on them. This could he drab. Very drab."
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
I realize there's an obvious way around the 'maximum for this floor': leave the dungeon! I do so, and train my way up to perfection.

wait, that text wasn't red. therefor, it's someone Impersonating the DM! i bet the needles just cause pain randomly. time to take them off!
I do so.
I just wasn't as pissed.
