What's Brown and Sounds Like a Parrot?
As you enter the Hippy Camp, you hear a quiet "Pssst... Pssst..." coming from one of the tents.
You go inside, and see a ferret in a cage.
"Hey, man. I hate my filthy hippy owner, but despite all my rage, I can't get out of here. Set me free, and I'll let you steal his stuff..."
You're only too happy to oblige.
Occurs at The Hippy Camp (in disguise).

- The name of this adventure seems to be a combination of two Monty Python sketches. One is a sketch where a young couple are unwantedly visited by their obnoxious neighbors. At one time the neighbor husband tells the joke "What's brown and sounds like a bell? Dung!". The other sketch would be the perennial favourite Dead Parrot sketch, where both a parrot and a cage is present.
- The adventure text refers to a classic "opinion" article from The Onion ("I Can't Stand My Filthy Hippie Owner" by Thunder the Ferret) and a lyric from "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" by The Smashing Pumpkins: "Despite all my rage / I am still just a rat in a cage."
