Teaching in passages is a crime? Seems like this was overlooked.

[Behind the Half Pint Inn]
Heavy wooden ale kegs line the small back alley on all sides to form high barriers, save for the area to the southwest that slopes into a dark underground tunnel. Dimpled glass windows along the building wall prevent the tavern's patrons from noticing any suspicious activity in the cramped lot. A tangle of blue violet wolfsbane spills over the edges of a faded red flower box toward the cobble below as if attempting a daring escape from its wooden prison. You also see a Wayerd pyramid labeled "Laodan's pyr" and a path to the street.
Also here: Ekcolv.
Obvious paths: southwest.

Ekcolv begins to listen to you teach the Thievery skill.
Your class is currently open. You may close it to all students by using TEACH CLOSE.
>
Ekcolv beams at you! What a warm feeling!
>
The Wayerd pyramid emits a low humming noise as the sun's rays shine down on it.
>grin
You grin.

Ekcolv nods.
>get beetles
You get some carved ebonwood beetles from inside your spidersilk haversack.
>juggle beetle
You toss eight of your ebonwood beetles into the air and start juggling them. You begin with a high arced pattern, and then lift a knee as far as you can and switch to catching each of the beetles with one hand, passing it under your thigh to the other hand, which sends it back into the air. This is incredibly difficult to maintain, and your thigh muscles are burning with pain long before you stop.
Roundtime: 14 seconds.

Your inward calm vanishes, the troubles of the world once more washing over you.
The clarity with which you perceieve your surroundings fades as one of your mental pillars supporting it ceases.
R>
You continue to instruct your student on Thievery.
Ekcolv seems to have a natural aptitude for Thievery.
R>
A voice whispers in your ear, "The officials in Crossing have charged you with aiding and abetting. We've kept things quiet, but thought you'd like to know."
Given the attention you're getting you decide this would be a good time to stop your lecture.
