Quests of Poseidon
Watery adventure awaits. Will the tides cause such endeavor to become an odyssey? Roll 1d20./

1-2. Set your sails for adventure! The place the party next revisits seems different. The reason is (roll 1d4): [1] It has been occupied by followers of Athena or some of Poseidon's other rivals, [2] The tide has come in, rearranging things a bit,  [3] It is actually an otherworld (see table listed under Manannan in Volume II), [4] It is actually the same, the party has just been adventuring too long.

Pan Encounters, Part III

 
Quests of Pan
When it comes to Pan's contests, it can be unclear who is the winner. Roll 1d12.

1-2. Be wild, naturally! All encountered in this area seem to be taking on the element of a wild animal, needing to save vs. death/ make a Will save DC 10 to not act fully bestial. Followers of Pan can of course ignore this effect, but why would they want to?

3-4. Enjoy making love, it truly sets you free: The next pair to lie together will gain a blessing of Pan for the next 2d6 hours, enjoying a +1d3 bonus to all rolls as long as they abide by his tenets, which might include even more lovemaking.

5-6. Respect wild places, keep despoilers out of them! A group of orcs have come to a sacred wild place, intent on chopping down the trees, slaying the beasts, and defiling any of the faithful. Worse still, they have somehow captured a dryad and subjected her to their revolting ways; that is, until someone teaches them a fatal lesson.
