[QUOTE="Garchomp445, post: 6737197, member: 6803149"] While religon's reply really does cover all of the bases, character encounters would be nice to have as well, such as A playful water dragon who adjusts your rudder erratically until being shooed away. A dinghy loaded to the brim with treasure/supplies/food floats towards your group, and a ship or other character attempts to catch up to it. No one has mentioned Dragon Turtles yet, those would make for some incredible encounters. A strange mass of seaweed or ocean rubbish appears to be making unusual noises, if investigated, it reveals itself to be a mimic who has been waiting for some sentient creature to take it to dry land or some other desirable location. Sea-dwelling sentient races argue over a piece of trivia they heard from a passing sailor, such as whether trees grow down or up, how many eyes spiders have, the number of different kinds of knots, or another such tidbit which the PCs would easily be able to correct. Floating treasure chest seems to be filled with gold, but they're actually gold-painted leeches or something similar. In more shallow water, giant is freaking out about how they can't swim, treading water desperately, but after a brief conversation, it turns out that the giant is tall enough to just stand. A race between two sailboats collides with the PCs or their craft. A flock of seagulls lands on the ship, stealing away any loose shiny objects they can get their beaks on. [/QUOTE]
