Dex is standing in front of a tree near the far right cabin. A is log hung by a rope from the limb of the tree with a four foot long pole tied to the log, pointing outward and slightly up to represent an outstretched weapon. Dex holds his sword in front of him, strikes the pole, causing it to turn the log and slashes the log with his his scimitar. As the log swings back, he turns his blade again, blocking the pole from hitting him and pushing it away to strike the log again. He then takes a step back and walks over to a nearby stump. Sitting on the stump is an old, withered and slightly dusty book depicting pictures of different stances, parries and strikes with a curved blade. Dex flips the page over, unable to read the words but studying the images carefully before returning to his practice dummy.
