After the newcomer, Shiv arrived at the boat with a fine sheet of sweat on her forehead. After finishing with her mark she came back to the inn to arrange the payment of the contract and she encountered another agent asking the wench. She had to run out of the main routes and hide for a while before coming into the vessel. Shiv is a 5ft 2" toned woman who dresses in black tight breaches, a dark navy blue shirt, and a black long hood that covers his black her.
Entering the boat she can tell that she is surrounded a too merry: there is a bard who starts cracking some tunes: the cleric chatting with a hopeful smile about the lord: the gnome braggint about his possessions... The boat in general seemed more like a circus than a vessel. She rested her back against one of the masts, watching with her saxe blue eyes. Someone addressed, in general, all the passengers. She had taken off her hood, and tried to mingle a little, at the end of the day she must be overlooked and not seen as an assassin. Her demeanor changed, her shoulders relaxed, and a smile cracked on her face looking around.
"Hello there! umm, My name is Lillian! And I am excited to run adventures! But most of all I am looking for my lost mother as she was kidnapped long ago!" She indeed was looking for her (that B****), but no, she was not kidnapped, oh no..."I'm happy to start this quest!"
She made herself look approachable and peppy. Even walked towards the captain to thank him for taking her as a passenger, taking his hand gently between hers.
(So she is going to cover as much as she can about herself, as she is being chased and does not trust any other passenger in case is one of her chasers. If any would like to roll insight and call her out, be my guest! I am not sure if I need to roll a charisma check in this scenario, it's my first time with DND. Also sorry for my English as I am not native)
*****you are doing great. Love the detail you give. *****
Daveth will blink in surprise, "Oh, are you sure? I have plenty..." He will hold the pamphlets in his hand for now, sure that he will find a home for them among those gathered around. "Well, if ever you are interested in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!" Daveth will look over the strange contraptions that Jarin created, "And I am glad to have such an industrious companion to travel with!"
Shiv turns to trying to stir conversation between the others. She watched the high elf covetness and decided to stir clear of him, The half-elf bard was a good choice for later but as he overheard the cleric and eldric elf conversation she decided to join.
"I would love to have a panfleth I also never heard about the... Morning Star?" Not Shiv mixing up his lord´s name to feign being innocent and a bit gullible. She looked at the elf, noticing that he had become too taciturn. She smiled at him.
********** Thank you ^^. I would do an insight check to notice Jarin's change of mood but I would love to check if that is okay first. Rolling I had 12+3 :) and FYI this is how she looks like but with darkened clothes and a longer cape and hood to be able to travel unnoticed*****************

You can see a range of colors that shift through the handsome eladrin's hair... gold to light brown and then finally back to its normal shade of light blonde. You can visibly see that the elf was going through a wash of mixed emotions before you arrived and then to see them fade just as quickly as you approached and asked about the Morning Lord.
You're not sure, but you can feel that even though Jarin is not looking at you... but he seems to have a awareness of your approach.

Lyra flashes Jarin a big smile when he greets her in Elvish, then continues with her introductions around the ship.
As she moves about the ship, her gaze is drawn to the last figure boarding the vessel. Sensing potential intrigue, she wiggles her delicate eyebrows. You see, intrigues and drama always make for a great ballad. They are like the secret ingredient of any delicious recipe. And Lyra has been taught well to seek it out.
Inspired, Lyra takes out her lute, putting the strap over her shoulder. Using her right hand, her slender fingers tug at the strings carefully, tuning it.
Humming under her breath, the bard notices the religious exchange happening nearby. Without sparing a second thought, she waltzes straight in there, her free hand deftly plucking one of the pamphlets from the human’s hands.
“Ooh, is that for me?!” She asks jokingly, her voice light and singsong. “You shouldn’t have!”

A young red-haired gnome has been taking everyone and everything on the ship with her pearl-grey eyes, but saying nothing. As Daveth speaks about his faith, though, she shows an increasing curiosity and finally says, "That sounds wonder full! Does He bring the wonderful dawns in the Feywild too? Those are marvelous! Phipnaxi's the name, and I'd love to hear about anything wonder full so I can share it with people who need cheering dreams.:

Perran has kept to himself for a while but he realizes that it might be usefull to get to know people. The deckplanks creak a bit as he gets up. He is the largest of the group, if only by a few inches. Is this what's called literature? He grabs one of the pamphlets folds it out and begins to read, speaking the words in a deep, buzzing but quiet tone: Forged by ancient sun worshippers, Dawnbringer... He stops after a few sentences and packs the paper into a bag without much care. He says I have read better smiles wide and holds his hand out in the middle of the group I am Perran from the forest
Asked why he's travelling, Willin demurs, "I simply go where I am instructed. Numbers are my main talent; inventories, ledgers, that sort of thing. Logistics makes the world go 'round, as they say!" He studiously avoids the religious discussion, and you get the feeling he's leaving something out. No need to mention my… more recent talents.

There was a number of passenger that came closer to the cleric, taking pamphlets. The giant started to read one of them, the bard giggling took another one and the gnome started to ask questions about the god itself to the cleric.
Shiv notices the high elf and her kind of reply, the kind of reply that was ambiguous enough to get away with it when you are doing some nefarious "errands". Other than him, the rest didn't seem like they disclosed anything similar. She grow interested in him, not wanting to keep him out of her sight. While waiting for the cleric reply, she came closer to Willing after hearing his reply.
"Are you a merchant of sorts then? If that is the case, what are the type of wares you usually arrange?"She raised an eyebrow, observing him intently.
***OOC - Insight check: 7+3, Shiv is trying to see anything that can declare Willin as a "criminal" or a threat in reply as how coveted he is behaving***
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"No, no," Willin assures Shiv, "merely an accountant. Back home I used to keep the town's books. You know, 𝑥 tons of grain harvested, 𝑦 salaries paid to various officials, 𝑧 barrels of ale consumed in the tavern. That sort of thing. These days I work on more of a… contract basis. I rarely even know what the job is before I arrive."
[Every word of which is true, but not the whole truth. DM can correct, but I think that would be a contested deception check against Shiv's insight? 21]
Daveth enthusiastically hands out pamphlets to all who are nearby, clearly delighted in the opportunity to extol the virtues of Lathander, "His light can be found anywhere, at any time, if only you seek it out!" Exhausting his supply of pamphlets, Daveth says, "Lathander is a god of hope and new beginnings, and in the spirit of those things I offer us all this benediction. May Lathander light our paths, may our endeavors be fruitful and our causes just. May we all be as beacons of His light so that others may know Him. And when darkness encroaches, may we always remember, there is always another dawn. Go now from this place knowing you walk in His light." During the blessing, you see the symbols on Daveth's tabard and shield glow with a pure radiance.
A two-tone whistle is blown and the crew make their final preparations as the ship is undocked. The mainsail is unfurled and the Northerly wind fills catches it and the Compass Rose has begun its voyage.
