Walt see’s the massive prawn and he’s in awe at the size of the beast! He reaches for his possibles pouch, feels for some of the stones he collected earlier that evening and casts magic stone on them in preparation for slaying the might prawn.
Walt then takes a step back giving himself some clearance from the table and all innocent bystanders, grasps his weathered quarter staff attacks with both hands attacks the beans at the table.

As the challenge starts, Harrow tucks his spellbook back in his bag, realizing he won't need an arcane focus for the task ahead. He starts chopping at the beans with one of the kitchen knives before noticing Tuuli's charge, and seeing her attempt to levitate the prawn, moves to follow after setting the knife back on the table, watching for an open shot to take.
Walt prepares a stone. Eyeing the massive prawns behind the 10' wall of glass, he realizes that they will be nearly impossible to hit from the floor where he stands. Even from the top of the stairway Tuuli is climbing, it'll still be a little tricky to hit them. (They have half cover from attacks from outside the water.)
He thwacks his quarterstaff ineffectively against the beans. They are pretty tough.
But Harrow slices right through his stack with the kitchen cleaver he finds, although they still have a bunch of chopping to go. Harrow then drops the blade and follows Tuuli to the bottom of the stairs.
Tuuli vaults over the side of the stairs, so as to not be in the way, and rushes back to the unoccupied table, though she goes around the far side so she can see what’s going with the prawns. “I tried my thing, but it didn’t work! I’m slicing and dicing now.”
Action: Attack beans. Attack: 18 Damage: 4 Bonus Action: off hand attack. Attack: 20 Damage: 1

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. I love it so.
As Tuuli jumps away and heads back to the table, Harrow steps forward onto the top of the stairs, his eyes locked onto the prawn that had nearly been pulled out of the water. Whipping his hand out over the tank, he bends his fingers into claws and calls out a couple of short syllables, guttural and choking, staring down at the prawn's carapace. Three shining missiles of magical force dart from the tips of his fingers and flash down into the water toward it.
Rycroft firms up his offhand grip and continues chopping. Is it really better to chop with two hands than using one to carefully manipulate the beans? Probably not, but surely it’s better than smashing them with a stick.
Main hand: Attack: 21 Damage: 7
Off hand: Attack: 19 Damage: 4
(If the beans are done, he charges up to the tank)
Tuuli stabs at her beans as she hears the commotion, and looks up, seeing Rycroft's dagger fly at the prawn. If her beans are done, she throws one of her knives at the prawn, even though she's really far away, then she runs towards the stairs. (If her beans are not done, she'll stab them with her offhand knife, then run for the stairs.)
Action: slice at beans! 12 to hit, for 6
Bonus Action a) slice at beans with offhand if beans still need slicing: 12 to hit, for 2 Bonus Action b) throw dagger at prawn if beans are done (at Disadvantage for long distance): 18 to hit, for 3
Move: run towards the stairs

Walt, seeing Harrow under attack from the massive prawn, runs 30 ft towards the other table ending in the same row of tiles as Tuuli and casts thorn whip at the prawn.
Rycroft flings his dagger clear across the 40-foot tank, cleanly sinking it deep into the dying prawn. But still it thrashes, life left in it yet. He fetches his bow.
Tuuli slashes at her beans. Success! She manages to chop the remaining vegetables. With her other hand, she runs toward the stairs and let loose a dagger. It hits! The prawn stops moving, now quite dead, but still weighing on Harrow's limp form.
Walt leaps forward, conjuring out the air a massive, thorny, leafy arcane whip that writhes overhead and shatters the air like a bolt of green lightning. Only... the game is over, now. He quietly uses his remaining powers to pull the dead beast off Harrow and bring him back to health.
The crowd erupts with cheers and applause. Four sous-chefs drag the prawn to their wok while the fifth fetches Tuuli's beans.
"A WIN!" shouts Sid. "Well Done! Record time!"
The assistants carry on, preparing their massive prawn cake while the four of you catch your breath.

Rycroft is up next!
Rycroft grabs a second knife and goes to work slicing, with more vigor than precision.
Main Hand: Attack: 12 Damage: 7
Off Hand: Attack: 9 Damage: 3
Rycroft starts to cleanly chop the beans on the southern table (at least with one hand!) He's nearly halfway done.
-- Round Two! --
Everyone may act.

Action: Magic Missile
Damage: 11
Walt, undeterred by his first miss, takes aim at the beans with his quarterstaff!

Damage: 9

Pud - lvl 7 Human Artificer - Alchemist (The Wild Beyond the Witchlight).
Quinn - lvl 4 Human Ranger - Hunter (Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk)
Frustrated at his inability to hit these beans, Walt curses to himself under his breath in Orc!
As part of the same round, Walt will use his free action and drop his staff to the floor in preparation for the next round.

Quinn - lvl 4 Human Ranger - Hunter (Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk)
Tuuli hops down and returns to the table. With a two-handed chopping technique, she manages to nearly finish the batch (but not quite!)
Harrow steps up and fires a trio of glowing darts into the dark pool. All three strike one of the prawns. It thrashes and lunges – it is in bad shape.
Walt thwacks his beans again with his quarterstaff, doing little other than staining his quarterstaff green.
Rycroft is up next!
Rycroft firms up his offhand grip and continues chopping. Is it really better to chop with two hands than using one to carefully manipulate the beans? Probably not, but surely it’s better than smashing them with a stick.
Main hand: Attack: 21 Damage: 7
Off hand: Attack: 19 Damage: 4
(If the beans are done, he charges up to the tank)
Rycroft finishes chopping up the beans and rushes toward the tank (is he headed for the southern stairwell, presumably?)
Two of Sid's assistants rush up to the tables, gather the chopped beans, and return to throw them into their waiting wok.
Meanwhile, an enraged wounded prawn circles the tank before charging Harrow. The massive beast leaps clear out of the tank at him.
Ram and Charge Attack vs Harrow: 20. Hit: 14 bludgeoning damage and Harrow must succeed on a DC 11 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Harrow is knocked unconscious under the massive, thrashing prawn, which is balancing half in and half out of the tank.

== Round Three ==
Everyone may act!
(Harrow should make a death saving throw.)
Rycroft sees the prawn knock out his new friend and whips a cooking knife across the tank at the wounded creature.
Thrown dagger: Attack: 17 Damage: 5
Assuming it’s still moving, he retreats down the stairs and produces a bow from underneath his cloak.
Tuuli stabs at her beans as she hears the commotion, and looks up, seeing Rycroft's dagger fly at the prawn. If her beans are done, she throws one of her knives at the prawn, even though she's really far away, then she runs towards the stairs. (If her beans are not done, she'll stab them with her offhand knife, then run for the stairs.)

Harrow gurgles beneath the prawn.
Death Saving Throw: 6
Walt, seeing Harrow under attack from the massive prawn, runs 30 ft towards the other table ending in the same row of tiles as Tuuli and casts thorn whip at the prawn.
Action: cast Thorn Whip
To Hit: 18
Damage: 4
Regardless of the outcome, Walt will then use his bonus action to case Healing Word on Harrow.
Heal: 4

Quinn - lvl 4 Human Ranger - Hunter (Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk)
(ooc: I forgot something. I didn't want to risk my rolls changing so I'm adding a second post)
If Thorn Whip hits, Walt will pull the prawn 10 ft in his direction, hopefully pulling the beast off of Harrow.
