D1 Random Beach Encounters

1. A group of fisherman are looking for a new way to catch fish because the ocean is becoming depleted. They want to cut open the belly of a sea lion and use its stomach like a net. While they are discussing this, another fisherman is walking through the village selling fish. He passes by a man with a pet octopus on his shoulder. The people in the village won’t touch the octopus because they say that it has been cursed by an evil sorcerer who was buried nearby and now his spirit lives on in its body.
