When your party enters a elemental plane of water, give them one round of looking around (a free passive Perception check), then roll on the table below. For combat encounters, pair the scenario with a stat block from Doungim's D&D monster catalogue — over 3,000 monsters indexed by challenge rating. For role-play encounters, grab a pre-built NPC and read the scenario to your players.
The d1 table is best for quick interludes between major dungeon scenes. The d10 table is for campaigns where the elemental plane of water is recurring — sessions in Waterdeep for instance, or a long-running tavern HQ.
