A Beach
While wandering along one of the beaches of the tropical island, you encounter a camp full of teenage half-orcs.
"Hey, man," says one of them, "welcome to our self-sufficient democratic utopia, man."
"Are you really self-sufficient?" you ask.
"Well, not really. One of us has to take a trip back to the mainland once a week for food, and magazines and stuff, y'know."
"Hmm. Do you at least have a true democracy going, then?" you ask.
"It started out that way," he says, "but after a while the best looking people just sort of took over, so now it's sort of a popularity contest-cum-monarchy."
"Er, is it at least a utopia?" you ask.
"Oh, yeah, man. It's totally utopian."
"What's your secret, then?" you ask.
"Beer, man. Beer."
Occurs at Tropical Paradise Island Getaway.
