Hi, in my current PT I have a halfling college-of-lore-bard (custom mercenary, so not one from Withers). We found the Falar Aluve, and I equipped her with it. (She has longsword proficiency, and as this blade is versatile, gets her DEX bonus , so all is well.) But I was wondering if it would be beneficial to multiclass now with hexblade warlock, or if I should just continue to build pure bard. I have no experience with hexblade, and can't judge very well how much I would gain. I like it that you get "shield" on lvl 1. I like that reaction spell, and my bard can use some additional protection from attacks. The hexblade curse sounds cool, but I never saw it in action, and I'm not sure if it is worth it. What do you think ? Will it make a difference ?

The party consists of Durge - a drunken master monk, Lae'zel, the halfling bard and a Duergar sorcerer hireling.

( The durge has trouble resisting urges, so Gale, Astarion, Shadowheart, Wyll ,Karlach and even Minthy are already all dead or left for good, is why I need the hirelings)
