While they were searching the ship, they discovered an aquatic elf who was being held prisoner in a closet at the stern of the ship. The elf's name was Oceanus, and once he learned that the party had dispatched the pirates, he seemed very eager to join them.
The ship's hold contained a vast quantity of smuggled wares... over 300 casks of various goods, as well as 7 or 8 dozen bolts of silk, which would doubtless fetch a handome price in Seaton. They also found a substantial cache of weapons, as well as a letter apparently from the lizardmen, discussing the acquisitiion of "ironwares". They also had found a great deal of silver, gold, and electrum amongst the treasures they discovered on the bodies and in the chests.
The party also found a third lizard man who evidently had a pseudodragon for a pet. The pseudodragon stung Tullus, who fell into a coma, but the party was able to dispatch the lizard man quite quickly. At Sarlac's insistence, the party then began to try to capture the pseudodragon, who was proving to be difficult to find, and began using its chameleon ability to stay hidden from the party. Meanwhile, Tullus and Tristan were revived. Their efforts to locate the pseudodragon were unsuccessful, however.
After collecting all they had found amongst the bodies and in the chests into a pile to detect magic on it, the party ascertained that they had secured two magical swords, a magic ring, and a slenderly carved ivory magic wand.
The magic user's spellbook contained Find Familiar, which Sarlac was very eager to use the spell, hoping to lure the pseudodragon in. To Sarlac's delight, the gambit was a success, and the pseudodragon lit on Sarlac's shoulder.
After quickly going back to shore and fetching Tom and Will, who were both experienced sailors, the party were able to navigate the ship into the harbor at Saltmarsh.
