The first day had seen several important tasks completed. The large tide pool had been given a proper entrance to the nearby canal, ensuring a constant flow of water to fill it even when the tide was out. A shielding dam of stone had been constructed at the edge of the pool closest to the ocean to protect it from tidal surges and storms. A second shallow basin had been dug on the land-side of the tidal pool to accommodate human diners. And anchoring holes for the roof posts had been sunk into the rocky shore, courtesy of the human Earth magic wielder who was assisting with the construction.
But there was still a great deal left to do. The sun had set on the short Deepfrost day before they had managed to get any work done on the roof, and most of the denizens of the tide pool - fish, starfish, anemones, nudibranches, etc. - still remained.
Breakfast had been provided today, in the hopes of luring more helping hands to the project. Fresh fruit and crispy pastries had been laid out on low tables reachable from the water. while just beneath the pool's surface were kelp-wrapped tidbits of savory fish and sweet seaberry compote, a selection of sushi, and small boxes holding light seaweed salads for easy grab-and-go.
"Thank you for coming," the mermanta said gravely to those who came back for a second day of work - and those just showing up for the first time. "First, we will need to move the creatures still living in the inlet to new homes." The tide pool was quite large and there were a great many creatures that called it home, all needing relocation. He nodded to those gathered and waited for them to choose tasks before he went to help wherever it was needed most.

Round 1!
Pick your task:
1. Catch the fish (however you want) and/or chase them out of the pool if you can! They're harmless but fast and agile!
2. Collect the anemones and nudibranches to be moved to other tide pools nearby. They move slow, but watch out for stings and toxins!
3. Sea stars sand dollars, and starfish also need to be relocated. They're safe to touch, but fairly fragile. Try not to damage them!
*tasks can have more than one character helping; NPCs can pick up the slack. No posting order!
