D1 Random Ocean Encounters
- The adventurers encounter an eerie fog full of whispering voices. Following these voices leads them to an ancient altar submerged underwater. Completing the pattern of voice-activated glyphs lifts the fog, revealing an underwater treasure. Failure triggers spectral guardians.
- The crew finds a floating wooden crate with strange markings.
- The ocean's color changes to a sickly green as the party approaches a floating patch of toxic algae. A sentient seaweed golem named Tethra emerges from the waters, claiming a malevolent force has corrupted her aquatic home.
- A merchant ship approaches the party's ship. The captain offers to trade one of his crewmembers for a slave on the party's ship. If the party refuses to trade, the merchants attack.
- A sailor finds a floating treasure chest, locked and sealed tight.
- A giant octopus attacks the ship, its tentacles wrapping around the hull. The players must defeat the octopus or find a way to escape its grasp.
- A group of sirens starts singing a haunting melody, luring the players towards a nearby rocky outcropping. However, the rocks are actually alive and are attempting to crush and devour anyone who gets close enough.
- Sea serpent. A sea serpent that's been set up on a course to attack the players' ship.
- 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.
- A sailor spots a shooting star and makes a wish.
