" How about we loop the bundle on the end of a stick and shake it out. Anything to bad we throw on her body and burn it?" She says as she looks at rhe others.
"I think the children could not handle our good woman's disappearance. I saw we seem tobe finding her. Best to try to do what's right before we can do nothing more" She says as she looks over the others.
Elsa blinks and holds up her hand. Fingers moved as she mouthed numbers. Counting in her head, aligned with motions, seeking solid evidence of what GHranny just said.
It was improbable, yet welcomed. Such a diversion kept her from the mangled remains nearby.
Elsa fingers the rings on her necklace and focuses. She had seen death before, but this...She shivered as she remembered the goblins and their attack. It was horrible, but this, this seemed worse somehow?
"Shield, yes, right" She says coming too at the end. Her consciousness snapped back.
"Well met Forest Lords" Elsa Says trying to curtsy. It was really awkward as she was more used to dwarven salutes.
"We came to seek the woman and get her back to the caravan. There be Beastmen and Mutants possibly afoot." Elsa says standing straight and ready to fight. She wasnt one to fully relax around unknown variables.
" Way we were trained. Especially in the tunnels. Greenskins popping out having cut into the tunnels through small tunnels. Pop out and shoot, then swirch. Though, no sweepers for me to transition to shield and pick" She says it dipped low and aimed to wards the edge of rhe road.
Elsa is walking with a crossbow ready. She Stays towards the center. Most of the ambushes happen flanks sides instead of the fore or aft of a caravan. Hopefully, she would get a shot in before having to drop and draw.
'I don't know what that is, Birdie. A nice mulled mead will help you get a taste of the town while also warming your belly and bones!" She says as she looks at the others, taller than all but one and then taps her chin.
Belzakk mumbles in discontent about the decision, but realizes he can't defend the city on his own.
"I hope Middenheim is ready for us. It's probably crowded like rats on a sinking ship with all the refugees".
"You guys are too used to open spaces. In our holds we fight as long as we can and if we need to back off and set traps. They come in and the tunnel collapses or explosives go off."Elsa says looking around.
'Yeah I don't mind. Gotta see me kin and hand over the rings of me units fallen to the Lieutenant. They'll be needing to return it back to our clan,"Elsa says as she looks at the others almost resigned to her fate.
'Names Elsa by the way, Miner was my trade, Before I became a Shieldbreaker for Clan Pickaxe" She states and does a dwarven bow. Which is a head nod.
Elsa will move up to the crack and pull her war pick and Shield. She awiats the onslaught of the Mutants, but also makes sure the missile fighters can get clear shots.
Elsa hears the foreigner and walks over. She stands at thier chest level and does an awkward curtsy.
" I couldnt help but overhear your company perished. Though not all my brethren fell, I do hold our companys rings from thise that died. I tried gettinf as many injured and dead dwarves from the field. I have helped while healing bury many a dead, and prayed to Morr that they see a fruitful afterlife and ward off thise fellows who seek to take bodies" She said her shield on her back and warpick restinf on her shoulder with the butt in her hand.
Elsa stood looking around wondering if the word on the street was in line with what the Watchcaptian said. Humans seemed odd though not elves, she still found dealing with them strange and perplexing.
Elsa stands in her jack and weapons upon her body. She still remembers the battle and the dead. Her wounds had healed ans her gear patched. Thankfully the town had a decent mix of citizens both combat, peasant and artisan. Granted she too learned a trade but it wasnt for her it was the Sheildbreaker core for her.
The dwarven lass stood among them wondering what news would befall this beleagered town who had already suffered under the last attempt. Hopefully whatever it was would be a chance to earn some coin.Elsa would love to book passage outta here.
Elsa came to fight along side other clan Pickaxe Clan Warriors in a Dwarf unit. Many died and she suffered great wounds here while pulling her fallen clansmen from the line. She continued fighting and dragging them free until she couldn't and crawled out of the conflict.
She carries the wooden rings her Clans men carried on a throng so they will continue fighting along side her in battles to come. She is intrigued by human gods Sigmar and Morr. She has a simple Miner family and three adoptive brothers.
In town she is friends with the halfling cook/server sisters Greta and Olivia. She is enemies with Lemm a human who she suspects specifically tries to rob the Dwarven bodies. For what she doesn't know.
She is not a fan of boats, preferring to have solid earth or structure under her feet. She hates the forces of chaos and those who wish to bring it down on others. She also hates to see the dead rise.
As for why Elsa became an adventurer, putting down the Miners' pick for a military one was the day goblins attacked her and her fellow miners in the tunnels of the Vault. This lead her to join and train with the Shield breakers in clearing tunnels.

Background:
Vina was born in the jungles of Jalmeray. As a child Vina never tired of hearing from her parents' adventures and how they set out from their distant birthplace of Vudra, only to cross the entirety of the Casmaron continent on foot along the Golden Way. The settling down part of the story bores her somewhat, but she still inherited her parent's patience and scholarly curiosity in regards to all things related to the natural world and how it interacts with the occult.
At a young age her parents introduced her to meditation techniques which allowed her to perceive the natural world and the other layers of reality which overlaps it. Their expectations for her were surpassed when she showed druidic powers and a magical bond with the local flora. Her parents immediately began to invite over people of various level of mastery with the arts of the wilderness: druids, shaman, rangers - everyone was welcome to see and witness Vina's budding skills. It was one such female ranger that sparked her desire for adventure and travel.
She recommended to start at the Grand Lodge of Absalom, an organization that is spread out across both continents of Avistan and Garund, and which also houses teachers, scholars and experts of every subject imaginable. Vina made her way there and after several awkward discussions, she was accepted into the Pathfinder Society as an unconfirmed member. When not scouring the Grand Lodge's libraries, she is most often seen outdoors in the nearby gardens, devouring a book while strangely speaking to a young 8-foot tall oak tree... (now grown to a full 16-foot height... 20 if you count the leaf canopy...)
Due to her relative isolation in her youth, Vina is somewhat quiet and more introverted than most. She shies from speaking in public and is very careful with people she does not know. However, those who learn to know her often become the repeated targets of her pranks, hugs and tireless requests for piggyback rides.
