"Looks like musical notation inscribed here." Trinaster notes. "Any of you read music? And before you ask, Bladesong is a rhythmic swordfighting style, any singing we do is incidental." He reiterates, probably for the thousandth time, though nobody here has even mentioned it, you can sort of sense he's exasperated by the constant assumption.
With such longevity possessed by elves, Trin wonders to himself sometimes why he doesn't just study music and end the frequent confusion (which only occurs with non-elves unfamiliar with the tradition), but everytime he's ever tried it, he just gets distracted with arcane concepts sparked by the patterns on the sheet music.
Rurik walks over towards the inscription. “I can take a shot at ‘er I guess. I like to pretend I can sing, though the muy probably sings better than me. But before I do I also want’a check the room out.”
Stigr examines the notes for a moment before shrugging and moving away, "I learned to read on the streets, not a lot of music education." Then he'll move over to examine the harpsicord.
"I think it's an arrangement for harpsichord, but that's only a guess."
Looking at this description of documancer's tools. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to apply it here.
'History. This tools proficiency can augment the benefit of successful checks made to analyze or investigate ancient writings, scrolls, or other texts, including runes etched in stone or messages in frescoes or other display' so... History? 19
While Max has no clue what the musical notes say, Rurik thinks he can read them well enough. What do you do with this knowledge? The music has stopped as you draw close to the instrument
Stigr examines the notes for a moment before shrugging and moving away, "I learned to read on the streets, not a lot of music education." Then he'll move over to examine the harpsicord.
Investigation: 19
You notice there is a panel that should open on the instrument, but there does not seem to be a way to open it.
Trin will offer to provide the meter using his sword as a metronome, swinging it back and forth in perfect time. "Is this the right time signature?" He asks?
*Help on ability check, proficiency in Perform skill
Rurik attempts to play the notes he sees on the wall, but hits several wrong notes on the instrument. A black glow covers the instrument, and Rurik's hands.

Samantha shakes her head. "Nope. Can't read music."
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
"I guess I can take a guess at it, but it is not my forte." Maximus states and then will attempt to read the music, but just in his head.

Rurik casts Divine Sense.

Rurik detects nothing with his divine sense.
While Max has no clue what the musical notes say, Rurik thinks he can read them well enough. What do you do with this knowledge? The music has stopped as you draw close to the instrument
You notice there is a panel that should open on the instrument, but there does not seem to be a way to open it.
Stigr calls their attention to the panel, "Perhaps the instrument is a lock? Play the piece, unlock the panel? Rurik, feel like giving it a try?"
Trin will offer to provide the meter using his sword as a metronome, swinging it back and forth in perfect time. "Is this the right time signature?" He asks?

Samantha holds her axe. "If that doesn't work, I could always swing at it and see if it opens."
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Rurik will give it a try.
Rurik give me a int-based performance check then. You can do so with advantage as Trin is aiding you.
Rurik performance 5
Rurik attempts to play the notes he sees on the wall, but hits several wrong notes on the instrument. A black glow covers the instrument, and Rurik's hands.
Give me a DC 15 Con save...
Rurik Con save 8
(Would Stigr be able to play it with mage hand?)
Rurik appears to not be harmed by the black glow. He feels it attempting to soak into his hands though, but is able to resist it.
No, I don't think you would be able to do so, it takes two hands to play it.
What is next? Does someone wish to give it another try, or do you want to do something else?
