"Your assistance will be appreciated," Skellig says. "There are areas that she cannot fit, and you likely know where the most useful things have been stored." As he suspects that Xenophon was often tasked with fetching those things and bringing them to be used when needed.
Several of the (former) slaves are clearly in shock, some overcome with relief and similar emotions, ripples of surprise and disbelief at their suddenly granted freedom. A few of the younger, fit men also volunteer to help with gathering supplies.
Once the remainder of the crew has left the vessel, the men set out to traverse the short distance on the outcropping; Skellig takes the shortcut and launches himself 'skyward', though it is only to the deck itself, to find a prybar or some sort - he wants to get into some of these crates, see what is useful.
(Also, there COULD be treasures on board, to add to their own hoard at home. Though those might be located below deck, perhaps in the Captain's private quarters...)
