At the moment, he's just sitting there.  Both the Elf and Dwarf in the second picture look rather serious. I'm assuming the Elven Bard left his instrument somewhere else too.  Regarding the quartet, the Warrior seems to be ripe for parody with his shirtless physique and loincloth, but I'd wager that the fellow in the hat is the Bard, as while everyone else seems to have assumed a stance for battle, that character seems to be making some kind of comical gesture.  He seems to be without his instrument as well.  But I don't think these count as Bards, sir.  Not from what I've been told anyway.  I've been told that being automatically proficiency with no fewer than three musical instruments, being able to cast spells through their instruments, and performing their major functions through singing/playing instruments is what makes a Bard a Bard. Making a jack of all trades/scholar/gish/diletante character with music as an option doesn't count.  The musical entertainer aspect has to be front and center.</blockquote>
