The Ivory Crow's Nest

The Ivory Crow's Nest

High in the rigging of the pirate ship, you encounter a scholarly pirate.

"Teach me of your Moxious ways, O Great Scholar," you implore.

He teaches you some neat tricks, but he keeps smacking you on the knuckles with a ruler.

You gain 14 Roguishness.

You lose 10 hit points.

Occurred at The Obligatory Pirate's Cove (in disguise).

• "The Ivory Crow's Nest" is an amalgam of two terms - "The Ivory Tower" and "crow's nest." The Ivory Tower is a term for how some intellectuals approach the world with concepts that are detached from the real social and political scene. As seen here, it refers more broadly to scholars and education in general. A crow's nest is a platform at the top of a ship's mainmast that is used as a lookout point.
