Watching for whomever will take the lead to kick things off, just before they step up (watching for cues to know when) he'll step up, create the sound of knocking on a door to get everyone's attention "knock knock knock knock", and gesture to whomever he will have seen about to step up.
Merrick will move from the wall and look at the others.
" I m Merrick." he says taking his hood of and revealing green large eyes and unruly hair. " I m an information's gatherer and I can case a place better than most. I have heard of some of you but not all. Happy to be part of this endeavor and to make your acquaintance." He gives a slight bow, to hide his growing smile.
I'm Con Danry - you've met me already, but I guess we haven't spoken much yet. I'm a soldier, or ex-soldier, and a good fighter. You can trust me to watch your backs in the Larches, and kill or beat the shit out of anyone who goes up against us. It's not what you'd call, he looks at Livvi and seems to be repeating something he's heard her say, a 'broad skill set', but I like it just fine.
As for the Larches, I've asked around the crew, and they don't know much. Useless bunch, I'd say. They haven't heard of the 'Broken Lodge' but there's a run-down place by the docks that people avoid, so I'm thinking that's the place to start looking.
"My name " says the half-elf with a soft voice with a foreign accent " Is Rasen Dunel. You could say that I am a warrior too. Not as skilled as you probably "he says looking to Con " But I´ll do my best."
Malafindor he says with a nod to everyone else, his eyes idly looking around to see if there's any alcohol in the room. Was a merchant, and well, now I'm not. Now I'm this, life can be strange like that.But, like you Con I also talked to the crew. They spoke of some group causing trouble in the Larches, and from what we were told, I was assuming we were the first to make a scene in that town.

"Hmmm. Not much to go on, and our initial information was not completely accurate. Perhaps this is a test of our initiative and skill. As I understand it, our mission is to make contact with someone called "Point" at the Broken Lodge on the edge of the docks and complete a heist that will start to establish our presence in The Larches. Sounds like our first order of business is to find a place to base out of - whether the Broken Lodge or another that we can use as a base. A group our size will probably attract the wrong kind of attention, so we should stick to groups of two or three to gather information. Con is with me, of course. What are your plans? Does anyone have any other information about this place?"
She thinks back on her boring history and geography lessons, trying to remember anything useful about this place. History: 7
Livvi from your younger days you don't remember learning much about The Larches except for being told that a lot of money passes through it on different ships and and the Lord is a snob sitting upon a heep of money.
"Maybe we can take down the competition and make ourselves known ? Personally, I plan to mingle and see where I can." he stops for a second " Set up shop. But first the meeting then we decide."

Mal nods at Livvi's and Merrick's words.
"I can infiltrate the merchant circles," he said looking at the group, "figure out what they know. Being merchants, a few of them must be investing in this group that's already there. Anyone who wants to join me is free to."
History check to see if Mal knows of any of merchants in the Larches. History: 7
Malyou cant think of any merchants in particular that come through the waters, but as its a high trade area and has a merchant guild your sure that you could find a variety of merchants if you looked.
Gom will step up after the rest have gone say start repeating some things he's heard, saying "I'm an informations gatherer. You can trust me I have a broad skill set." And will then repeat the Elvish and Draconic lines he'd heard earlier to those who'd said them. Pointing to himself he'll add "can be useful I´ll do my best" And finally will point at Mal and say "Ijoin"
Mal had never seen anything speak like that before. The fact that Gom had practically formed a couple of sentences with their words was astounding, and he was grinning from ear to ear. "He joins," he says, with a slight chuckle.

From his seat by the door, Con tunes out of the conversation for a while and listens for any activity in the outside hallway, anything that might suggest someone was trying to listen in on the discussion: Perception 11
"I ll hit the streets when we arrive and after the meeting. Street kids and others destitutes are always ready to help for a meal or for protection." Merrick adds.

Con stands up, motions to the others to keep talking, and quietly as he can, takes the two steps necessary to get him to the door. Stealth: 19. He will then open the door suddenly, and either grab the person who's been eavesdropping, or nod in a slightly embarrassed way at the innocent passer-by he just startled.
Mal glances at Con and what he's up to but decides the larger human has whatever it is taken care of and turns back to the others. "The streets are definitely a good idea," he says to Merrick, "we also need someone to go to the upper echelon as well. The high society, as it were. From what I know of personal friends in high places... they tend to like getting their hands in rather unsavoury sources of money."
"Oh, I think I can fit in rather well in the upper echelons of this backwater. Should we all find a common lodging in town to use as a base of operations? I'll ask the captain if he has any recommendations - someplace not too seedy, but not an upper-crust place, either. Someplace nice but affordable. And discreet. That could perhaps use an entertainer..."she turns away from the group, the wheels in motion and a plan forming in her head.

The young half-elf replies to the wood elf greeting with a slight nod of his head and remain silent while the others enter the room.
He scofs a little bit at Livvi's words but he didn't answer. He will not be the first one to follow her game.
PbP Character: A few ;)
Merrick will enter the room and nods to the others.
He moves to one side of the cabin and stands, back resting on the wall.

Con you hear movement outside the door but you are unsure if it is just people moving by or someone listening.
