Nox steps up to the nearest wizard. Putting her hands behind his head she pulls him into a deep kiss. Releasing him she turns to her new band mates “Sounds like they’ll get the show started properly to me!” She gives the other mage a smack on the ass as she walks over to the elf. “Does someone announce the members of the group too? Or just the band as a whole?”
The wizards start with a wall of fog obscuring the stage. It's thick and inky with shapes of naked people dissolving into each other. Then a slow trickle of red pours down it all and cascades over the edge of the stage as a voice booms out "Tonight we honor the full the moon! The Blood Moon! The hour of the wolf is soon at hand. We bring you Cerberus!"
Cerberus breaks through the fog with it's powerful legs slamming down onto the stage. One of it's heads snatching a figure out of the air and snapping it's jaws closed it bursts into a shower of light, It's other heads bow down and breath fire across the stage. A few people who managed to stay close to the stage duck as the fire spews forth.
You can all hear a great cheer rise up from the field.
(Everyone make their entrance (RP it out as much as you want. It will be taken into consideration) and give me a performance check with advantage)
Before ge nears the stage, Dox begins drumming. First a simple beat but as he emerges more rhythmic. ( performance 26 ) "guests of our host be prepared for the music of CERBERUS!" As he finishes his shouting introduction Dox becomes invisible(spell slot marked off) as he keeps drumming and introduces the rest of the group (as they see fit/postl) once they are out he switches to pan flute as he works through the crowd accompanying his friends, working his way to the carriage. (Performance 26 )
The section of the stage where Ringo is arranged is dark. After Dox works his magic, Ringo will begin. As he begins playing in the dark each bone that is struck lights up. Purples, Reds, Whites--RIngo is still just a shadow. Smoke is beginning to pour off the bones and sparks begin to fly from the mallets. As his intro crescendos and they light him up [He will use Mask of Many Faces to affect they disguise of Wolf Man (Werewolf)] and a Werewolf will be playing the bones. As the light strobes his form will alter between Werewolf and Ringo and an approximation or complement of whatever form Syn presents.
Performance: 14
Ringo calls upon the help of his ancestors (3 points damage) for the Lua Blessing. 17 plus 4
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mateu will go out on stage behind the rest of them, using Prestidigitation to start playing the sounds of lute before he moves to join the others on stage. He will move to then begin to play his own lute, carefully lowering his drum to the stage. With that done as he plays be will use the cantrip to then make the flames around the illusionary Cerberus brighten in dim in tune with the music.
Waiting off stage Syn changes appearance again. This top to a Male dark elf. Shirtless and adorned with tattoos. (See image below.) A ball of light floats behind him lighting his silhouette as he passes the other members a ball flares to life behind them as well. His whip in hand trailing on the stage behind him, as he takes center stage he cracks the whip over head toward the image of the demon dog. He deftly wraps the whip around his torso from his left hip and over his right shoulder. Pulling his viol from his back, he starts playing with it tucked under his chin drawing the bow across the strings in a surprisingly upbeat song.
(Crazy work schedule lately... did 15 hours yesterday and 8 today. I'm a bit crispy! But psyched to get back to it!)
Dox starts out the show with what seems like a simple beat as he introduces the band. His words take a counter beat and syncopate with his drumming as the rhythm becomes more complex. With the help of the stage crew his intense syncopation starts echoing and creating this deeply complex house beat that the crowd is mesmerized by. They are almost silent as he introduces everyone.
Ringo makes his entrance amidst smoke and sparks and adds the beat into the melody that pounds out of the zylabones at the same moment Dox goes invisible and switches to the flute. His shift into a Wolf Man is timed perfectly and the crowd erupts in an animalistic roar that matches his form. As Matue blends his strumming into the beat he can see the crowd start to sway in unison to his strumming. He finds he can (in a limited fashion) control the crowds swaying with the combination of his strumming and changing the color of the flames coming from the Cerberus.
Syn shows up on stage just as the roaring from the crowd reaches a crescendo. The cracking of the whip and balls of light exploding behind him brings a fresh wave of cheers. As he begins to play his Viol is drown out a bit from the sound of the crowd going crazy. (which may be a good thing)
Dox going invisible and playing it's really tough to make your way off the stage. Everyone is pressing in trying to get closer. You can try to push your way through the crowd. It's packed though. I'd say DC 18 to even get through. The invisibility isn't going to be very effective though. You could also try to jump onto the carriage from the stage. It's pretty close. DC10 athletics and stealth if you want to be quiet.
Dox has no problem launching onto the carriage but even through the music can hear the thud as he lands. His large body rocking the carriage as he lands. 7
One of the guards notices the carriage rocking and calls out "There's some trickery here. You and you, search the carriage top and bottom"
Probably only Dox hears this over the music, plus he's invisible so the rest of the party wouldn't know what he did.
"I love everything you just said." Dox makes no attempt to hide his excitement at the special effects.

Mateu readies his lute but has his drum on a strap around his neck in case he decides to wildshape and play.
Dox has his shield/drum ready and his panflute accessible for a quick switch.
Ringo will have his Xylabones assembled and ready to go.
(Heads up for everyone, I may not be able to post until Saturday.)

"Anyway there has been a change to the group. I'm the new singer for the group. My name is Syn."
Syn
Turning back to the group. "Sorry fellas the whole rhyming names thing was to much for me. Syn is a good name. I use it often anyways."
"Works for me. Nox and Dox does sound more like the name of some comedic act anyway." Mateu saus with a shrug and chuckle at his own bad joke.
The wizards start with a wall of fog obscuring the stage. It's thick and inky with shapes of naked people dissolving into each other. Then a slow trickle of red pours down it all and cascades over the edge of the stage as a voice booms out "Tonight we honor the full the moon! The Blood Moon! The hour of the wolf is soon at hand.

(Does Doc tell any of us what he’s going to be trying to do?)
(Spur of the moment decision so no he probably didn't, hell I'm not positive what he/ I was going for beyond showmanship)
Mateu will continue to play his lutem focusing on that as he smirks to himself at the roar of the crowd.
