D1 Random Beach Encounters

  1. As the sun sets, the shadow of a colossal figure stretches across the beach, independent of any physical form present. Following it leads to a hidden cave filled with arcane secrets.

  2. The players find a message in a bottle buried in the sand. The message is partly smudged but suggests a hidden treasure nearby guarded by a powerful curse.

  3. A small group of 2d6+2 elves are gathered around a large fire on the beach. They are telling stories and singing songs.

  4. Couples dance barefoot in the sand to distant, romantic tunes.

  5. A group of children are looking for shells on the beach. If they are approached, they will yell at the players and call them idiots. They will then flee.

  6. A group of 7d4 men are shoveling sand into barrels that are being pulled by oxen. They are sending the sand to another town.

  7. A group of fishermen are upset that their nets have been stolen by a group of mermaids. They know this sounds crazy, but it’s true. They will give the players information about the mermaids if they help them.

  8. You find a group of krakens sunning themselves on the beach. If the party approaches, the krakens will become aggressive and attempt to drag the party into the sea.

  9. The locals are giving a donation to someone named Damien on behalf of the Duke in Duke’s name. If they check the donation they find that it is a large donation to a village far from here. Players can hear some foul talk from one of the organizers about Damien and how much more he could have gotten for a donation if he had come to them first. They will also hear that someone is after Damien and that he needs to hide somewhere until this whole thing blows over. Damien plays a part later in this encounter, so there is no need for him to be revealed at this point.

  10. A group of young lovers is sitting on the beach, watching the waves crash against the shore. They're discussing their plans for the future.
