D1 Random Lake Encounters

1. A solitary fisherman is seen trying to catch the legendary “One-Eyed Pike” that is said to be large enough to feed a village for a week. He begs the party to help him catch it and will reward them handsomely if they succeed.
   
   
2. The players come across a rowboat floating in the middle of the lake. Upon closer inspection, they find a chest that seems to be magically stuck to the bottom of the boat. The chest contains rare and valuable items, but as soon as the players try to take them, the rowboat sinks into the lake and they must fight off a group of water elementals to escape.
   
   
3. A group of beautiful water nymphs appear out of the lake, singing and dancing. They invite the party to join in their festivities and promise a night of food, drink, and merriment. However, the party may soon realize that the water nymphs have an ulterior motive and they must find a way to escape their clutches.
   
   
4. A group of 1d4 men are hunting near the shore of the lake. They are hoping to catch some game for their village.
   
   
5. A group of 1d12 farmers are sitting around drinking and gossiping. They will not answer any questions. If players ask, they will say they saw an elf in the area, but they are unsure if it was real or if they were drunk at the time.
   
   
6. A gentle bobbing dock invites you to dangle your feet in the water.
   
   
7. The party sees a rickety old rowboat floating in the middle of the lake. It is covered in vines and has leaves and dead bugs all over it. It looks like no one has used it in years. The party can make a Wisdom (Perception) check to see that someone has been using it recently (within the past week). If they investigate, they will find a campfire with some cooked fish on it. An old man is napping nearby. If disturbed, he will grumble about being woken up and tell them to go away before going back to sleep again
   
   
8. The players come across a large, ancient tree with glowing green leaves on the edge of the lake. If they approach, they may be pulled into a dreamlike state where they must navigate through memories and illusions to escape.
   
   
9. You spot a group of goblins trying to steal a boat from a nearby dock. They are not very stealthy and can easily be stopped by the players.
   
   
10. A sorcerer is seen standing on the surface of the lake. He is actually using a magical spell to walk on water. He may offer to teach the players his spell for a price, or he may ask for their help in finding a lost artifact that has fallen to the bottom of the lake.
