Noticing the presence of a distinctly non-Miasma rogue closing in on one of her comrades, Asreine grabs one of her two Elven short-spears and gets in between the Elf and Mary, only later noticing that the rogue had killed two others before.
She manages to keep the Elf at a comfortable distance with the significantly longer reach of her short-spear compared to the rogue's daggers, and since she can focus on the Elf while the Elf must dodge her and keep an eye on Mary.
Fairly quickly, the Elven rogue slips up and leaves an opening, and Asreine quickly stabs her in the thigh. This is followed by a few more stabs to more vital areas, quickly ending the rogue's pain.
During the looting, she just grabs as much valuable-looking stuff from the fire as she can. She really doesn't want to be executed because of the last shipment's guards' failure.
Inadvertently bumping into the last Elf, Arastine grabs her before she can ready her weapons. Partly curious as to how physically resilient the elves are, partly because the Elf won't stop flailing, and partly out of a normally suppressed sadistic streak, she begins to snap the Elf's bones. After the arms, legs, and a several ribs, she decides it's getting a bit old and snaps the poor Elf's spine, killing her.
B.
Arastine will save the Elf. She'll try to get to keep her as a personal slave, though. She's also going to break her arms if she resists.
Besides, what use could Marla get from a keg of (Elven) beer? Surely there's still plenty from Kafra. What could she possibly want a keg for anyway?
