D1 Random Ocean Encounters
- A mysterious fogbank appears, enveloping the ship and transporting it to an alternate ocean realm. Here, communication is only possible through feelings and thoughts, forcing the party to understand and rely on each other’s non-verbal cues to navigate back to their world.
- A group of mer-men approach the party's ship and ask for food. If they get food, they will attack the party. If they don't get food, they will ask for gold or passage to another land. They will attack if denied passage or gold.
- The players discover a magical underwater cave filled with colorful gems and crystals. But the beauty of the cave is guarded by a powerful water elemental.
- You see a large ship. The ship is sinking. The ship is the 'Laughing Man' ship. The ship is a pirate ship. The pirates are still on the ship. They are trying to get off the ship. There is also a large squid attacking the ship.
- A group of merchants are traveling through a dangerous area. They will pay the players to protect them. They will offer 1d10 gold per day per player.
- A portal to the Elemental Plane of Water appears in the middle of the ocean, bringing with it powerful water elementals and other creatures. The players must close the portal before the elementals take over the ocean and the material plane.
- A ship approaches from afar. The captain of the ship hails the ship. He is a pirate captain. He says that there's a ship full of treasure nearby, but the ship is guarded by a sea monster and pirates.
- The players encounter a small fishing village in the middle of the ocean. However, upon closer inspection, they realize that the villagers are actually merfolk in disguise. They will ask the players for help in defeating a sea monster that has been terrorizing their village.
- A giant manta ray jumps out of the water, revealing a mermaid riding on its back. She offers to lead the players to a hidden underwater city, but it may come at a price.
- A merchant ship approaches. It is flying a foreign flag. It is a merchant ship from a nearby island nation ruled by genies. The captain of the merchant ship will trade for gems and gold coins and possibly for slaves, but he will not trade for anything magical, especially magic weapons and armor or magic items or magic potions or magical scrolls or wands or rods of any kind or any magic items at all.
