Parenthetical Advisory

Parenthetical Advisory

At the bottom of the Greater-Than Sign, you encounter a room with a large left parenthesis in it.

You're unsure what to do with it, so you start dancing in front of it. The parenthesis doesn't respond favorably, or in fact do anything at all, but at least you got some dancing practice...

You gain 7 Roguishness.
