1. A merchant ship approaches and offers to trade with the party. The merchant sells and buys anything. His name is Algin Belaroon, and he is looking for a ship to sail back home on, but he doesn't want to pay any more than he has too. He will offer to buy or sell anything.(He is actually an assassin looking for a cover story while he tries to find a way to kill the party without anyone noticing.)
   
   
2. An old man is sitting on the beach. He says that he was cast out by his people because he believes in merfolk and he wants to prove his people wrong by meeting one. He says that he has been sitting on the beach for years and he will reward the players if they bring him a merfolk scale or some other merfolk item that he can use as proof of his beliefs.
