Outside, Benevenuta feels increasingly as if being killed would have been preferable to the pounding in her head and the emptying of her stomach; she gestures vaguely, agreeably at Anders to permit examination. For the most part, it's as she dutifully originally reported, bruises from the rough handling in her abduction - except the head injury sustained when, having slammed her knife into their corpse friend's face prior to his subsequent and not unrelated death, she had her head slammed unceremoniously into a wooden beam.
That she got as far as she did before the unsteadiness caught up to her is a testament to bloody-mindedness, no doubt, but at least she suffered no burns. A touch of smoke inhalation, but it'd be a surprise if anyone managed to escape that, as long as they lingered.
