Looking for advise on Bard8/Rogue1 to Unseen Seer

Herzog

Adventurer
I've got 8 levels of bard, one level of rogue, and I need another 4 ranks in both spot and search to complete my requirements for unseen seer.

[sblock=Full stats of character]
Bard 8/Rogue 1
Race: Human
Str 7
Dex 12
Con 11
Int 16
Wis 8
Cha 14

Improved Initiative, Point blank shot, Precise shot, melodic casting, deadeye shot
Sneak Attack +1d6
I've got 9 ranks in Bluff, 9 ranks in Concentration, 9 ranks in Craft(Musical Instruments), 9 ranks in Diplomacy, 8 ranks in Hide, 4 ranks in intimidate, 9 ranks in Knowledge (religion), 10 ranks in Perform(Oratory), 9 ranks in perform(string instruments), 4 ranks in Search, 9 ranks in Sense Motive, 4 ranks in Spot, 9 ranks in Spellcraft and 5 ranks in Survival.
(note: I may be one or two ranks off for those skills listed with 9 ranks, since I'm constructing this list from an older sheet)

I've got the Spells: 0: Dancing Lights, Detect Magic, Ghost Sound, Know Direction, Message, Read magic, 1: Comprehend Languages, Identify, Improvisation, Sleep, 2: Eagle's Splendor, Enthrall, Hypnotic Pattern, Sonic Weapon, 3: Fear, Haste, Charm Monster
[/sblock]
To do that, I need to take a level in a class that has both skills as a class skill and has at least 4 skillpoints per level.

I'm also obliged to take a rank in Language for roleplaying reasons, which would increase the amount of skillpoints per level needed to 6 (unless language is also a class skill for this class, in which case it is 5)

I'm building an archer-with-sneak-attack character, having picked up Deadeye shot at lvl 9.

Should I go for a second rogue level? Or a level of ranger? Or maybe someone knows of a PrC I qualify for that has those as class skill? (spellcasting progression appreciated....)

In case of ranger 1 or rogue 2, any alternate class features I should be considering?

I'm also tempted to take another Bard level, although that would mean postponing the unseen seer another level (since bard has those skills as cross-class).

Any suggestions?

I appreciate the advice, but I'm afraid I can't use it :)

I've already decided to go for Unseen Seer instead of Arcane Trickster. The US prc fits my character better, and lets me have access to spells like Snipers Shot.

Magic Items are few, if any in this specific campaign. If I ever get my hands of a bow of songs, I won't let go.
In the meantime, I would be happy with a cloak of charisma.....
