Bard provides entertainment and immense advantage in battle

What happened? On your way north of the destroyed village, you will soon encounter a group of gnolls who will make your life difficult. Fighting them is definitely a challenge. However, one player skillfully used his bard to turn the situation in his favor. He sneaked up to the gnolls with the bard and struck up a conversation with the gnoll leader.

In this conversation, he chose a special bard option. He introduced a distracting joke into the leader’s mind: “What separates humans from flesh?” Her scowl was streaked with a tinge of curious confusion.

At that crucial moment, the bard called upon his abilities again. He broke the joke’s spell by delivering the punchline, “There’s no difference!” To do this, he had to pass a performance check. Suddenly, loud, infectious laughter broke out, spreading like wildfire and sweeping away the surrounding gnolls as well.
