I have assumed Elfride missed the news - I can change if necessary. However - I have finished the post with her being told so you don't have to repeat yourself too much. Although Elfride can handle a blade as well as the next woman, given that you have a number of men on the quest already, I imagine Sandrina's pregnancy would be the "hook" that would bring Elfride on to the quest - I don't imagine either the girls or the soldiers would have her experience of antenatal care
