Military action
The Party raides the Sea Ghost, meeting Oceanus while there. Victorious, they bring the ship and their prisoners back to Saltmarsh.
The Party raides the Sea Ghost when it comes to trade with Sanbalet's Gang at the Haunted House, with the aid of the Alchemist. They capture Punketah and Captain Sigurd "Snake Eyes", killing the other officers along with the lizardfolk, and letting the majority of the crew go. In their search, the party finds and rescues Oceanus, and learns the smugglers were running weapons to the Lizardfolk Lair.
Upon returning to Saltmarsh, the party brings the Sea Ghost in to port and the prisoners to jail. They brace themselves for breaking the news to the council as well.
