It says the following: "Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear the bard, and able to pay attention to him. The bard must also be able to see the creature. The distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents the ability from working." If the hostile creature is on his way to harm the bard and/or his party, there is no actual combat. So is it possible for even a 1st level bard to fascinate a hostile creature? Even possible suggesting him to not harm the party as a brd6?
