1. A fisherman casting his line into the waves.
   
   
2. Driftwood forms natural sculptures along the beach.
   
   
3. The beach is plagued by unusual footprints leading to a hidden cove. It’s a bandit’s trap designed to make enemies of whoever follows the trail, pitting factions against each other in a deadly betrayal scenario.
   
   
4. Kids engaging in a water balloon fight.
   
   
5. A volley of arrows lands near the players, fired by coastal rangers who mistake the party for enemy scouts. After a careful explanation, the rangers enlist the help of the party against marauding invaders.
   
   
6. A massive sea serpent's shed skin washes ashore, providing valuable alchemical ingredients. However, harvesting it attracts the attention of the serpent, emerging from the depths to reclaim its former hide.
   
   
7. A family of 1d6 selkies playing by the shore offer riddles; solving them earns the party tokens granting gifts of luck from the sea, or they might become mischievous pests.
   
   
8. The sound of a log can be heard in the water. As players approach, they discover a group of figures chained to the log, being taken to a land far away. Their expression is one of sadness and despair. As the play gets closer one of the figures raises his head and looks at the players. It is a Braxatooth with a human look to him, obviously not native to the area. The players will notice that the Braxatooth is looking right at them.
   
   
9. A sea cucumber left behind by the ebbing tide.
   
   
10. The party sees a group of 1d4+1 humans sitting on the beach, singing about a battle that took place long ago. If asked, they will tell the story of the battle of Hulnaduun.
