D1 Random Beach Encounters

1. A mischievous druid halfling named Tansy is riding the waves on a surfboard made from enchanted driftwood. She’ll offer to teach you how to surf and in doing so, grant you temporary bonuses to your agility and acrobatics. Refuse her whimsical ways, and you might find your boots mysteriously filled with abrasive sand.
   
   
2. A group of teenagers splashes in the water, enjoying the day's warmth.
   
   
3. A small boat being pulled to shore.
   
   
4. The players find an old anchor, half-buried in the sand, a relic from an ancient shipwreck.
   
   
5. 4d4 bandits have set up a fake town on the beach. They will take the party inside their little town (which is a fake) and take everything from them by force.
   
   
6. A large jellyfish washed ashore, mostly harmless, but its mystery lingers.
   
   
7. The players find a carved wooden totem depicting ancient sea deities.
   
   
8. A ship smacks into the rocks. As a ship sinks, a sea dragon attacks everyone at sea.
   
   
9. A small flame, no bigger than a candle, has formed on the beach. It dances and seems to be beckoning players to come closer. If the players approach, they will find the flame is actually a small elemental, no more than a foot tall.
   
   
10. A pair of lovers is taking a romantic walk along the shore as the sun sets.
