You’re trained in the Diplomacy skill and the Alcohol Lore skill. You gain the Hobnobber skill feat.

GENERAL
You react more quickly than others can. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to initiative rolls.

HOBNOBBER FEAT 1
GENERAL SKILL
Prerequisites trained in Diplomacy
You are skilled at learning information through conversation. The Gather Information exploration activity takes you half as long as normal (typically reducing the time to 1 hour). If you’re a master in Diplomacy and you Gather Information at the normal speed, when you attempt to do so and roll a critical failure, you get a failure instead. There is still no guarantee that a rumor you learn with Gather Information is accurate.

CANNY ACUMEN FEAT 1
GENERAL
Your avoidance or observation is beyond the ken of most in your profession. Choose Fortitude saves, Reflex saves, Will saves, or Perception. You become an expert in your choice. At 17th level, you become a master in your choice.

LINGERING COMPOSITION FEAT 1
BARD
Prerequisites maestro muse
By adding a flourish, you make your compositions last longer. You learn the lingering composition focus spell (page 387). Increase the number of Focus Points in your focus pool by 1.

BACKSTORY
Darla Uskwold is the third of four children born to Trinil Uskwold and her now-deceased husband, Karldan, who was killed in action when the local sheep rustlers suspected to be some rogue goblins or the like instead turned out to be a hungry wyvern. Her family has produced an inordinate number of adventurers over the years, and her two elder brothers have previously answered the Call for Heroes and now travel throughout Isger, Old Cheliax, and wider Avistan in search of glory, honor, and treasure. Darla has become something of a local celebrity, having performed at each of Breachill’s taverns at one time or another (all the better to hear news and rumors from all walks of life). Currently, she works mainly at her mother’s tavern (the Wizard’s Grace), but on her free days (or when she’s quarreling with Trinil), Darla visits Cayden’s Keg to sing for coin and occasionally fill in as a barkeep. The Keg’s owner, the priestess Brynne Taithe, is like a second (often cooler) mother to Darla, and the young bard has taken to Cayden’s fairly carefree outlook on life.

Darla’s muse is, of course, none other than the town’s beloved founder, Lamond Breachton. Although she’s no wizard, Darla dabbles in magic and sees its value and potential. Like Breachton, Darla has a desire to help the unfortunate, and the young woman sees the value of inspiring generations of local heroes to deal with the area’s dangers and problems, possibly becoming the town's future leaders.

Darla answered the Call of Heroes recently, joining the party led by Neven Deckard that killed or chased off a pack of wolves from the outlying farms a month or so back. Afterward, Neven tried to court the young bard and barkeep, but the two young people mixed like oil and water. The resultant awkwardness led Darla to leave Neven’s adventuring group, so she didn’t go off to investigate the alleged bandits congregating around Guardian’s Way.

Old Background Stuff:

Although some of the locals initially expected the young bard to accept a Call for Heroes in the two years since her second-oldest brother did so and left town, most citizens now expect the gregarious young woman to remain in Breachill with her mother and perhaps take over proprietorship of the Wizard’s Grace once Trinil retires. In truth, Darla has been biding her time, waiting both for her younger brother Daltan to reach majority and for just the right mission to come along. That time has come.
