You can send telepathic messages to any creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You don’t need to share a language with the creature for it to understand these messages, but it must be able to understand at least one language to comprehend them..
I think 30ft, line of sight, makes sense for psychic communication. Distance for audible music just depends on how loud you play it, but this ability should have a defined range.
<@Drain and @Uriel are probably also either in thst balcony Trisk made a bridge from to tje stairs or they might be exploring the hallway with all those other doors, in light of the correction I had to make.>
@Brian_Avery: the stairs you climbed using a spwll and an ability are the same ones you passed in the hallway, requiring no resources to access. Do you want to retxin and say you just walked up there earlier, did whatever you do here, rhen walked back down? If so, yiu coukd instead use the hridge to reach the hole in the central tower. (I may have only described this to one player earlier and missed describing it in your view ttom the balcony)
Part of the central tower wall has exploded outward, and its stony fragments are hanging in the air as though time around them has stopped. Among the debris, suspended above the stormy vortex, is an armored knight with a sword in one hand and a shield on his other arm. He looks like he was thrown backward through the exploding wall before being frozen in place.
The bridge you made could extend right past thus knight and reach the hole in the tower
(Sorry, i looked a the updated picture and assumed the pool was the blown hole in the wall that I had seen from above - my mistake for not reading description carefully enough.)
Drain:
At this point Drain will make like he is going to enter this door to the room with the pool, however he will pause as he begins to enter and look back to Uriel. "Should we join the little one? I feel we are spread thin here and should stay together."
Yes, that sounds good. Trisk will have the bridge go right past the knight and up to the opening in the tower.
"What do you think Tesservett? Gather the others before exploring the tower?"

Just out of curiosity, is the bridge right under the knight or does it go around him? It's your bridge, so it's up to you.>
Splinters of wood, along with some loose papers and two halves of a shattered blowing horn, are suspended in the air. Whatever caused this unfortunate scene also punched a hole in the north wall on the landing between two staircases, one leading up and the other leading down. The stony debris from the blast is frozen in midair outside the tower.
A human knight with a thick mustache and a look of surprise on his face was apparently thrown backward through the jagged hole and now hangs in the air amid the debris. The knight wears a helm adorned with feathery wings, and he is holding a longsword and a shield.
Within the tower, three grotesque cackling women are mocking the helmed knight as they avoid talking about their present troubles. “He seems to be taking his present situation rather lightly,” says a short, thin, gnarled woman swathed in a tattered dress with petticoats. Cracked white face paint plasters her features, with crimson splotches on her cheeks and thick mascara coating her sparse eyelashes. From her back seems to protrude a large metal key.
“Time has been rather cruel to him,” the second, her emaciated form hidden under the layers of her elaborate costume. Part dress, part mechanical theater, the outfit makes her look frighteningly tall. She shrouds her wrinkled features behind a gauzy “theater curtain” veil.
“If we still had the unicorn horn, we could make him plunge to his doom,” bemoans the third, with a toad-like face and bulging eyes that move independently, constantly scanning her surroundings. Stained and moldering patchwork garments hide much of the leathery, mummified flesh that stretches over her compact frame and extraordinarily long, spindly limbs.
Strange objects stand beside the laughing women: a child's rocking horse, a large contraption, looking very much like a bird, with a wingspan of 14ft. and a 10ft wide leaf with long tendrils hanging below it.
Although Piccolo may be able to speak in a message spell from Drain, she raises her hands, then plays some notes on her tiny wooden instrument
Drain gets an image of something grumpy behind the door.
Piccolo will examine the door, and if not locked, will open it, standing to the side.
Opening the door, you find a dining hall. Paintings of fey creatures and the mounted heads of majestic elk with golden horns decorate the walls of the space. In the center of the hall, a deformed giant squats at the head of a table piled with food. The grease-stained tablecloth is tucked under her chin, and she washes down each slobbering mouthful of food with a gulp from a barrel of beer.
A tea cart in one corner of the banquet hall has an iron kettle and a tureen of steaming soup resting on doilies atop.
"Minions!" demands the giantess, "bring me the cake that dastard, Kelek, promised. 'Eight tiers high,' he said, 'lit with blood-red candles, and icing white as snow.'" She emphasizes her words with delicate movements kf her large rough hands, as she imitates Kelek in a sing-song falsetto.
She looks at Picollo and licks her lips, hungrily. "If thou shoulds't leave and return without my cake, I think I shall gobble thee up, instead. Then we'll see if you taste as sweet as you look,” she warns.
(ooc: the bridge Trisk makes bypasses the knight and goes directly to the hole in the tower.)

With the door closed to the dining room and its crude occupant, Uriel heads up the stairs and sees the plight of the Knight in sight to the right. He pulls out his elven rope and ties one end firmly around the waist of the suspended warrior. Giving it a tug, he tries to determine if he can budge the figure frozen in time. If the man is immobile, Uriel takes the other end of the rope with him, looking for a place to tie it off on a permanent structure.

The hags are noticeably annoyed by the interference. "What do you think you're doing?" Shouts the tall one with the veil. As uriel ties (50ft?) Rope to the Bannister of the balcony

(OOC: Fair enough, I completely agree, I would think 30-60 feet, after that, they would just hear the music but the telepathy would not work).
Uriel:
”It would seem wise to consolidate, given the possibility of additional lethal threats here. Yes, Drain, let us work together,” responds Uriel.

Drain:
Drain will head to the long hallway in the direction they saw Piccolo travel. when he sees here near the door he will cast message directed to her.
"We are here, what have you found?"

No, but generally they are built adjacent to the dining hall for convenience.
There are doors at the far end of the banquet hall. Also another door on the left side, on the center of the wall.
The rope goes around the knight, but hard as he pulls, the mustachioed man remains mid-air, unmoved by the force.
