Tugger (The Rogue): Hmm, this locked door looks like a doozy. Lothar, drop me a beat.
Lothar (The Bard): [drums his fingers along the wooden body of his lute in a rhythmic pattern]
Tugger: [Nods his head in time with the beat] Yeah, this lock stands no chance now.
Yeah, it just doesn't add up for me.
There may be certain circumstances where this might be feasible though. Under the rules for Working Together, as long as Lothar has proficiency in Thieves' Tools (as a Criminal bard might), he or she can attempt to help Tugger. The rules don't specify the exact way in which Lothar must assist Tugger, only that more than one person helping would be productive. Something like lock-picking advice imparted through a bawdy limerick - provided Lothar can come up with something that rhymes with "lock" or "pick" - might reasonably be judged as sufficient to meet the requirements for Working Together.
