1. Sea oats and dune grass sway gently in the breeze.
   
   
2. Mysterious songs of sirens fill the air, luring players towards a submerged crystal cavern filled with treasures... and deadly enchantments. Resist the call or face potential intrigue and imminent peril deep beneath the waves.
   
   
3. A group of women are telling stories about an island of the dead where the undead rule over the living. A skeleton is watching them from the edge of the forest and bows to them.
   
   
4. A fisherman is gutting a large fish. He looks nervous and keeps looking around for something. If asked, he will say that he's looking for a mermaid that has been haunting him. He will offer a reward of one silver piece if the party helps him catch the mermaid.
   
   
5. A group of sirens are sitting on the beach and singing, which attracts sea creatures. They use these sea creatures to search for treasure which they sell to the nearest trading post. They will invite the party to help them find treasure, but they are after human hearts! If anyone gets too close, they will try to cut their hearts out with a dagger while they sleep.

10. You see a group of humans playing with a large ball. They are laughing and having a good time. If players approach, they will invite them to join them in a game of Beach ball. If players join in, they will tell them that they're going to cheat. They will tell players not to get mad when they cheat.
