With the help of the guest adventurers, the tournament resumes quicker than expected that even Demed helps them fix Deka's fishing lines. These does not escape the judges' eyes, that they are given 3 Tournament Points more!
"We are witnessing cooperation here that the judges give our guest adventurer 3 points!" the announcer declares.
Zisiro uses his claws to catch cut some fish to add to their basket.
Vamasu fails to catch any fish with his hook with bait.
Zoila is having trouble poking fish with her spear.
Alleron effectively traps many fish into his well-constructed traps!
Masuuk, though trying the same approach as before, manages to trick some fish into his antic.
Ekundayo manages to spear some fish after trying to copy Zoila.
"It looks like our guest challengers are gaining an advantage in the first half of the competition! But they should not be complacent; we never know what tricks the other team has for the second half!" the announcer comments.
"Let the Round 3 begin!" the announcer continues.
You can:
> distract other competitors with a Deception check
> impress the judges with a Performance check
> can grab fish without disturbing the waters with a Stealth check
> can use improvised traps or baits with Crafting, Fishing Lore, or Survival
> use other appropriate skills justified by your roleplay, be creative!
If you attempt the same skill check you attempted in the previous round, you receive a –2 circumstance penalty to the check. You also take a –2 circumstance penalty to melee slashing or bludgeoning attacks that pass through water. Ranged attacks that deal bludgeoning or slashing damage automatically miss underwater targets, so you can’t use these attacks to catch fish. Also, creatures underwater gain resistance
5 to acid and fire.

With the contest almost over, Ekundayo figured she might as well put a little flair into her fishing technique.
After readying the nets again, she summoned her kinetic aura and miniature waves seemed to burts out from behind her before erupting into sea foam. She held out her hands above the water, feeling the connection between it and her strengthen. Her focus honed in on the ocean beneath her. She almost felt as if every wave and pulse of the sea was the beating of her own heart or the breath sailing in and out of her lungs... but she was probably overly dramatizing.
Her outstretched hand shifted to a a patch of water housing a group of fish. The water slowly started to bulge, and once it had coalesced, Ekundayo began coaxing it towards the nets, hoping to guide the fish along the newly-created current.
Zoila copies and does better at catching.
Zisiro goes deeper and catches more for the group.
Vamazu believes that patience is a virtue and it pays off, bringing a plenty into their basket.
Judges maybe unimpressed by Masuuk for doing the same thing, but his skill is not failing him to catch more for the group.
Alleron is having a hard time to catch this time.
Ekundayo uses her abilities to gather water and bring with it some fish to add.
Demed is kinda impressed as to how Ekundayo handles the tournament. "You are a water bender?" he asks enthusiastically.
“Ten more!” shouts Demed to Deka.
“It’s not over until the fish are counted,” grumbles Deka as she hoists another catch into her half-full basket.
“Might as well be! You have no hope to catch up,” replies Demed as fish start jumping from the water directly into his overflowing basket.
"Okay, that's weird." he mutters with an eyebrow raised while looking at his basket that keeps getting filled with many fish.
Suddenly three massive crabs have wandered close to the shore, perhaps lured by the bait’s magic. The crabs looks hungry!

Zoila rewinds her personal timeline. What was it? Ah yes, slips between their armor. She timewalks to before the fishing tournament even started, explaining to her allies "When the crabs come, if you get one, make sure to place your hooks between their plates, they are weak there" which, incidentally, at the time, seemed a strange remark. However, a temporal anomaly instigated by her is suitable enough to jug their memory. Everyone has the same passing thought: "Between the plates..." wondering why the memory seems so astute so suddenly.
Grandmother Time simply smiles.

You can cast an amped guidance spell as a reaction triggered when your ally fails or critically fails an attack roll, Perception check, saving throw, or skill check, and the bonus from guidance would change the failure to a success or the critical failure to a normal failure. The bonus from guidance applies retroactively to their check.
Zoila shares some tip on how to deal with the crabs.
Masuuk attacks one of them but hits sand instead. Or water.
