They sound like they could be sahuagin. Hard to tell for sure, he's a bit vague here and it's not a trained analysis of details, but it fits.

[Iron Dragoon]

Would a small, rough illusion of the creature be something I could do with Prestidigitation?

[Anastasia]

A crude image or item that resembles it, sure.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa uses Prestidigitation to produce a very basic image of the Sahuagin.

"Was this what you saw?"

[Anastasia]

"Close enough, I reckon," The old man peers closely at it, "Greener, a sharper look. Downright nasty folk."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods.

"What country are you from and where were you headed?"

[Anastasia]

"Daxby, born and raised," The old man says, "Was but up to my old man's knee when I say the great transfer. We were heading to the Mageocracy for our next port of call."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa gives him a flat look at that.

"Them, huh? Well, I'm guessing you weren't the captain? What cargo are you carrying?"

[Anastasia]

"Foodstuffs, some silk and rum," The old man lists off, "Hah, I wish I was the captain."

[Iron Dragoon]

"What was your position?"

Alyssa watches him closely for any hints of lying.

[Anastasia]

"Just a deckhand," he admits, "Was shirking if you have to know, it's why they didn't find me."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Mmm. Well, you have three options. I can get you home, I can get you to the Mageocracy, or I can take you to my people."

[Anastasia]

"Who are your people?" The man asks right back.
