The elves, though wounded, sore, and emotionally distressed, are fairly healthy all things considered. Their ability to effectively fight or be of any physical use is low, but at the same time not so dire that they would be in any danger. They ate their food, meager as it is, so they aren't particularly hungry either. They're otherwise cooperative enough to avoid your ire as you prepare them to be traded off.

The short woman looks up to you as you speak, a soft smile on her face but her eyes pierced through you like harpoons. The look of a killer. "An absolute chore. Nothing but smelly sailors hauling ocean fish in to sell in the market. It's getting warmer too, so it'll be even more costly to try and preserve them so sell in the next town. I suppose with any luck that alone would justify why I'll be raising the prices on them, just to make even... But I imagine that I'll make quite a tidy profit from you, Captain." Once the formalities were out of the way, Thersa will go about appraising your cargo. In total, Thersa will be willing to buy the textiles for 562 gold total. While high quality, since she can't exactly disclose who the true traders are, she'll have to make up a story about selling off some cargo she had piled up and needs to clear some space. As for the prisoners, she makes it clear that she's not a ransom broker. The best she can do is smuggle them to a city where she knows she can sell them off, and what they might give her isn't guaranteed to be good. But since they're sea elves and in relatively good condition, she'll pay 25 gold for each elf, for 100 GP total.
