"Well, of course not, I'm here with you lot!" Ander shrugs, "An' while I'll admit there ain't many of us halflin's in Ravnica, it doesn't mean we don't make our way there and abouts."
The guard brings Ander up to the locked door, he unlocks the door with a key and leads you into a circular room. Inside the room is a dwarf with a white beard pacing around in the room, in the middle of the room is a large white crate with a strange symbol on the crate ( if Ander knows Ravnica/ has been to Ravnica lore, you can make a history check. )
Assuming the others follow him up, here is for everyone but Ander
OOC: I assume this crate is closed so the contents cannot be verified? I believe the other crate looked identical but contained only mundane longswords?
(Well s***. I had not expected to be led straight into a room with the boss and X number of guards. My bad guys haha. Let's see if I can talk my way out of this one!)
(As much as I'd love to say yes he has got some knowledge of Ravnica, Ander probably wouldn't, he's all about the bluff, rather than knowing heaps of stuff. Though would he know or recognise the dwarf as Drago? Considering he's an insightful and perceptive guy that would have worked around the city quite a bit?)

Yes, unless you want to open the crate and reveal the contents along with your position.

Sure, make a history check to get a bit of dough on Drago.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
While watching the exchange invisibly, Mardon looks around carefully to ensure there are no other concealed guards or threats, and to try to gauge which ones might be the biggest threats, should the ruse give way to battle.
Perception: 12
OOC: Did you mean 5 threats including the "dwarf boss," or 6 total including the boss?

(OOC - I'm just going to take it that with a roll like that, I'm not going to know if that white-bearded dwarf is Drago. I'll make my speech under that assumption to keep things rolling. Here goes!)
"You must be Drago," Ander says with a slight bow to the dwarf, "Because no one else here looks anywhere NEAR as important as you do," he says looking around the room, but taking the chance to scan where everyone is. "My apologies for the intrusion, but my employer asked me to come and see that the shipment made it's way here. They got word that it's delivery had been compromised, and there is no one in their employ that would have been STUPID enough to do such a thing. I just hope that it wasn't one of your men looking for a quick bit of gold," Ander once again looks around the room, accusingly, before returning his gaze to the dwarf. "But, I'm not here to police that. They have sent me to just make sure you received the shipment. Is this crate here perhaps it?" Ander gestures towards the large white crate in the middle of the room.

Probably the dwarf and the 2 guards with flamethrowers. ( 6 total. )

He laughs out loud. " MY guards are stupid enough to bring you in. Don't you know that we stole the shipment from a Izzet airship? Have you tracked the package in? "
"You stole it, hey?" Ander chuckles. "Well, that explains the strange dealings with my "employer" that led me here." He puts his fingers up for the quotation around employer. Ander turns as if to leave, then stops. "You know, when I came in, you were pacing back and forth like something was wrong. It seems that I'm no longer employed and a free agent, perhaps I can offer my assistance?"

The crate is identical to the other crate.
(How many enemy are in this room?)

OOC: Thats ok, its why you have the invisible armed backup plan waiting if things go south.
5 other guards, 2 holding flame throwers.

Rubin takes up a position near the door, so he can shut it to block reinforcements once battle starts.

He's a dwarf who runs a organization.
He laughs out loud. " MY guards are stupid enough to bring you in. Don't you know that we stole the shipment from a Izzet airship? Have you tracked the package in? "

Persuasion: 26 and/or Deception: 15.
" Yes. " He claps his hands, and the guards close in on you. The 5 guards are standing in a ring around Ander.
Roll initiative.
