D1 Random Ocean Encounters

1. The players spot a shipwreck in the distance and decide to investigate. As they explore the wreckage, they are ambushed by a group of sahuagin who have been using the wreck as a hiding spot and a base for their attacks on passing ships.
   
   
2. The ship enters an area of the ocean covered in bioluminescent algae. The glowing water reveals a pod of dolphins being chased by a monstrous aquatic creature. By coordinating their efforts, the party must steer the dolphins to safety and fend off the threat.
   
   
3. A shipwreck drifts towards the players' ship. Upon boarding, they discover that the only survivor is a crazed hermit who has been living on the ship for years. He will offer to share his "treasure map," which is actually a random doodle he made in his boredom.
   
   
4. A ship's bird comes flying toward the ship. It has a message tied to its leg. The message is written in a language the players can read. It is a warning that a pirate ship is nearby.
   
   
5. Unexpectedly, a group of merfolk pops up around the boat. The merfolk are friendly to the party, and they know many things about the surrounding area. They have come to warn the party that they are approaching a place where a wizard's tower is located. The merfolk warn the party that the wizard is a powerful enemy and that the tower is heavily guarded by powerful golems. They also warn the party that the wizard is trying to collect a great library of information about all of the surrounding islands. The merfolk warn the party and then swim off with a "HAPPY SAILING" from the party. The merfolk are actually two wererats masquerading as merfolk. They were hoping to board the party's vessel and slay as many as possible to give them an advantage when attacking the party in the future. The party never sees the two wererats in their merhuman form, but they could feel something about them that is off. They will experience many problems in the next few days with various mechanical things not working properly.
   
   
6. Maelstrom. A maelstrom that disables most of the ship's functions.
   
   
7. A flying fish leaps aboard, much to everyone's surprise.
   
   
8. The sounds of the sea can be heard in the distance. If the players investigate, they will find that the sound is actually of a group of merfolk discussing plans to take over the kingdom. Players can join in and help out. If not, the merfolk will attack them.
   
   
9. A merchant vessel approaches the ship. The merchant vessel has a flag of a kingdom or nation. The merchant vessel has been looted. The merchant vessel is covered in blood. There are 2d6+6 skeletons on the merchant vessel, and they are fighting the sailors on the merchant vessel.
