D1 Random Ocean Encounters
- The party encounters a ship containing a single sailor who is willing to trade. He is willing to trade a gem for any food the players might have. The gem is cursed. Anyone holding it longer than an hour will fall off the ship and float away... The gem is owned by a mermaid in the area looking for a human husband - or dinner.
- An attack by 2d6 kobolds in a small rowboat. They are on their way to join a larger kobold tribe.
- A group of sea nymphs appear and offer to help the party find a powerful magical artifact that has been stolen from them by a group of sea hags. The party must decide whether to help the nymphs and potentially earn their favor or leave them to deal with the hags themselves.
- The adventurers come across coral statues depicting mournful ocean spirits. They need to navigate a timeless riddle to lift the spirits' curses, activating traps if they misunderstand the clues.
- The players come across a group of sea hags performing a ritual on a nearby island. Curiosity gets the better of them, and they approach to investigate, only to discover that the hags have summoned a powerful sea monster that they can no longer control. The players must either defeat the sea monster or find a way to stop the ritual before it's too late.
- The players find themselves in the middle of a vicious storm, with lightning striking the ocean and waves crashing against their ship. They must work together to keep their ship afloat and prevent it from sinking.
- A man approaches the party. He looks like a priest and is carrying a holy symbol. He's really a priest of a god of this area, and he's looking for new converts.
- A friendly dolphin starts doing tricks for the players, but soon reveals that it is actually a shape-shifting sea druid in disguise. It offers to lead them to a hidden underwater cave filled with treasure.
- Players see a ship in the distance. As they get closer, they see that it's being attacked by a giant octopus.
- The ship’s lookout spots a small fleet of fishing boats.
