" 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.
Elsa begins to put her crossbow away, then will draw her shield and pick.
Elsa gets her cross bow and begins to ready for firinf." I say we shoot then charge."
Elsa looks down and tries to make out the shapes. "We'd need to sneak closure to understand what is going on. But also risk exposure." She says switching to looking for an easy path down.
" She is not wrong. One should not risk one's life lightly." Elsa says, looking at the crossbow woman. " You could stay and play with the children while we go." She says with a smile.
"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.
" Like she is older then humans should be" Elsa says exasperated about not gettinf to sleep kore.
"Give them some stout, they'll sleep like babes" Elsa says groggily as she sits up rubbing her eyes.
Elsa stands and heads to Granny and adks quietly." Um Granny are you sure that happened when you where young?"
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.
"Pfft Elves." Elsa asked as she shifts to a relaxed but ready stance, with shield more forward instead of her pick.
"Yeah, let's find her"Elsa says as she stands and gets her Shield and Pick ready.
" 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. "Also safer than a bed fellow"
"Should stock up on extra food and gear. never know what can happen on a march" Elsa says as she looks ot the Human with a flail.
"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. "Couldn't you do that here?"
'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.
"Humans are hard to tell apart as it is" Elsa says looking at the rest of you. adjusting her gear now. She takes the offerings and begins to eat. Very militaristic.
"I could use a drink" Elsa says as she looks about. "Booze and food before we go hunting spooks" The dwarf warrior says with a laugh. Her demeanor changing after the fight. It seemed to rejuvenate her.
"Any local you know capable of such a shot?" Elsa says her war pick over her shoukder and shield ready.
Elsa dances about attacks. In doing so she uses her movements in the deadly dance of death to strike with her War pick.
First blow finds no hold
the Second blow though burys deep able to hit before she pulls it free. All while dancing around the mutant.
Elsa from the deflection shifts her weight and strikes hard with her pick seeking two strikes to kill the creature before her.
Once more her tip finds no hold, sliding off the flesh,bone, or what not unable to find a hold. The dwarf grunts and holds the line trying to get them to focus on her.
Elsa steps into the charge with shield forward. She follows it up with two strikes a stout powerhouse seeking to end this beast.
She swings twice but to no avail. Still she keeps herself set for whatever onslaught comes herway.
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.

Added and looking forward to learning a new system as well as seeing what I can do with Elsa..If she survives. thinking Veteran into Champion into Witch Hunter or maybe something else entirely
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.
Hmmm I think then she will probably been there ro heal.
I am looking at Elsa having come to the city looking for a Dwarven Artisan whos' last song died in the Mountian Holds against a rush of Orcs. |
