Whatever you care to do with any of them.Well it would certainly be easier to let them all drown, and in the end you probably will end up just killing them. But for the time being if you aren't able to make off with a plunder of treasure, you might as well take some human captives to do with as you see fit. Leave it up to them, if they can prove worthy to be spared.
So without all that much thought into the matter, you grab one of the masts of the ship and rip it free before it can sink, and then somewhat randomly just gather up whichever surviving humans you feel like saving. Dragging the mast behind as you swim at great speed, any humans that can hang on will survive, any who can't... well you're not turning back around for.
And so it was, that the legend of a terrible sea monster come to plague these oceans grew.

It's not the peace and comfort of your underwater cave, but you're not about to give your blood to all the humans like you did with Emil, and render them temporarily aquatic. No, you settle for that same rocky cove from which escape would be quite difficult.
Of course some of the humans try, and you recapture them the same way as you did with Emil's comrade when he tried to escape. So that eventually you can roughly corral them all into the same area to watch over and decide what to do.
<span class="mu-s">"That's right medesh, your deaths are at hand by the legendary Tana- wuh-hey wait a minute, stay back! I'm under protect- oof!"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"Hah! Well done little man."</span>
You get a good laugh out of Emil getting ganged up on and a severe beating, when he tries to act big to the other humans. As if he were your herald or ally or something, rather than just your captive pet. The bitter rivalry that exists between the two human groups quickly plays out, as you merely watch and do nothing, and next time Emil will think twice about his position with you.
Otherwise though, you now have about nine new human captives, including the two women. The lot of them cower together in fear of you, some praying and others trying to plead for their lives to you. What to do with them though... you've never before had as many humans to play with! Not without your goddess peering over your shoulder, so to speak. Just imagining eating them, or cursing them, eagerly keeps your focus, but the possibilities are so much more if you care to consider them.
