The shallow reef (the Hexes surrounding the lagoon) is a maze of colorful, razor sharp coral. Navigating the waters and reef surrounding the lagoon is treacherous. Roll on the Reef Encounter Table whenever the PCs move into a new reef Hex. See Bestiary Vol. 1 for Adversary entries.

REEF ENCOUNTER TABLE

d12	Result
1	Hungry LIGER SHARK (L5-B).
2	A group of CRAWLBADS (6xL3-G, 1xL4-B) defend a nest of eggs.
3	BARBECUDAS encircle the PCs.
4	Three REEF NYADS (L2-B) ambush! They are fascinated by the PCs' shoes.
5	FROST JELLIES float by, making the water freezing cold.
6	Getting close to a rare boom-boom polyp causes the coral to expand rapidly, before exploding in a burst of boiling water. Athletics Check: On a 5-, PC suffers Dread.
7	Make a Nimbleness Check to avoid being scraped by Razor Ruin coral for Dread.
8	A strong undercurrent drags the PCs into a new Hex. Roll to determine the direction (1 = North, 4 = South, etc.).
9	A group of friendly SELKIES dart around the edges of the reef. They wonder why the PCs would come to such a dangerous part of the sea.
10	A safe sandbar.
11	Nuppy, a lost FINFOLK clings to a clump of coral. He would greatly appreciate directions out of the Razor Ruin Reef. Before the PCs get a chance, he darts away, terrified as the ground shakes and the current stirs: “The shadow! It's close by! Doom comes for us all!”
12	Chandler, a sunbathing KRABRAK, is a chilled-out surfer who shreds the swells near the reef. He assumes the PCs must be extreme thrill-seekers to be snorkeling in the Razor Ruin Reef, but warns of a “most uncool creature” living in the lagoon. If asked, he describes a safe path through the coral (PCs continue to their destination without rolling on the Reef Encounter Table).
