The twelve
You get better by doing it. What counts is what worked: a hit that landed, a block, a vein that broke.

Two services
Some work you pay for in town instead of training it.
The innkeeper cooks
Cooking is a service, not a skill. She grills fish or meat for 2 gold, or braises salmon, cod, venison or boar for 5 gold, and you leave Well Fed or Hearty. A grilled salmon heals 28, a raw one 18.
The jeweller sets gems
A gem in a ring costs 40 gold. The gems come from the mine: every vein you break has a one in 25 chance of one.
