Or reusing the same pirates from last time. I admit, I've been using/translating Rainbow Caverns... I feel sort of weird doing it.

You pay for the 20. And you don't get anything for it... 20 still fails. My player's think of it as the entrance fee for another mastery. But that's just my own experience?

100 words is for a starting character.... And yeah, I have trouble with the limit but it forces you to think about what is IMPORTANT to the character.
Evertying you got from adventures or the like would be another couple of words bolted onto the end, I would think.
