Harboth glares at the unconcious man for a couple of beats, cuts his eyes back at Marisan, and takes a deep breath.
Fine... but if he gets squirrely, I'll f@$%in' kill him.
After regaining his composure, Harboth has a look around the room, particularly the crates and the cells...
...but keeps an eye out for traps.

Elwyn's eyes widen at the sight of the amulet, he reaches down as Rachele is examining it and smiles up at her, "Here, let me help" as he grabs it, "Finally, what we have been looking for, the Lodge will find this very interesting."
Looking at Kyle and Harboth, seeing that things are now ok, he tries to break the tension in the room, "When will you two ever learn to play nice?" ans smiles reassuringly.

The party tends to their wounds as Marisan bandages up the unconscious man. The amulet radiates a faint magic that fades as it is pulled further from the man. At this point, I believe the party is completely healed.
The cells to the north are packed full of Cassomirites of all stripes, including the missing Pathfinder Cestis who is alive but appears to have been badly beaten. Much like his counterpart, Kafar, Cestis resisted capture until he was knocked unconscious, though he has since awakened in his cell.
There are also numerous crates all over. Half of the crates in this room are marked with gigantic red X’s, painted on with a wide brush. The supplies include flour, grains, sugar, coffee, tea, dried goods, and so on.

Marisan approaches Cestis after he identifies himself, crouching down next to Rachele. "Agent Cestis, it's good to see you alive. We were tasked by Venture-Captain Themis to locate and liberate you. Allow me to introduce my fellow agents." She then points out and names each member of the group.
Then Marisan stands and, to the larger group of former captives, says, "We're going to get all of you out of here momentarily. Any information you can give us about what happened and what you saw will help us bring the perpetrators to justice."

The citizens and agent held captive in the cells to the north thank the PCs profusely for helping them and tell tales of dark- or gray-skinned humanoids with enormous gray eyes who came frequently to negotiate with Dalirio before buying a handful of captives and taking them from the room. Where these creatures took them, the captives don’t know and Dalirio won’t say no matter how you try to question him.
Venture-Captain Themis thank each of the party members upon their return. She expresses some concern, however, that this operation goes beyond Dalirio (the guy you just beat) and his men. After sighing, she says that, for now, you all deserve a rest. Tomorrow is another day.
