Tayang nodded and had Hector and Oliver bring the prisoners down, and in addition had Derrick go tend to the wound elf's ear. They have no room for corpses, and a dead elf is worth nothing at Red Shard. Once the elves were sent away the chests were brought up. Two large iron chests. It was obvious that these were not from the sea elves; iron was a horrible metal to use on the ocean as salt water would quickly erode it and cause damage. Even ones kept inside of a ship would suffer from the ocean's chaotic humidity warping wood and metal. Most sea bound chests were made of bronze or other metal that wouldn't react so violently against constant water exposure. That and the simple fact that sea elf crafts were, while complex and intricate, rarely ever made of metal.

With the two chests brought up, your crew were eager to see what bounties were inside. They were locked up tight and sealed shut, and no amount of shifting would let the crew hear what might be inside. Even taking account the dimensions and material of the chests, whatever was inside was quite heavy. However as always, Tayang made sure the crew didn't act hastily. "These chests aren't of elven design, but doesn't mean they don't have any tricks. They could have some sort of trap ready to go off if we try to tamper or force it open." He looked to the captain. "The key we got from the elves open one of these chests. Which one you think we ought to try? One on the left or the right?" Both chest looked nearly identical and both had a lock that needed a key to open it. Despite the potential for danger, the crew were looking on eagerly for loot.
