He dodges the General's attack right before it would hit, continuing to focus on the Ash Spawn, until the General falls. As if choreographed as Andral slashes the General's neck, Galdres stabbed him in the chest.

The general falls, his hammer clattering to the ground. The Ash Spawn that had been encroaching upon the room dissolved, becoming nothing but more ash on the ground.

He steps toward the General's body, taking his dagger and dislodging the Heartstone from its chest. "Heartstone. Figures, guess I'll need to talk to Neloth." His voice disappointed, "Guy gives me a headache."
Ruth
"I'm not familiar with this Heart Stone, but from here it definitely looks like necromancy. Replacing his heart with a rock... It's not unlike how the Forsworn replace their hearts with the seeds of briar trees. At least the old general has been put out of his misery. Hmm..."

*Andral's gaze moved to the peculiar spiked maul on the floor. He looked at it with intrigue before bending down and, in one quick move, hefted it up and began feeling it in his hands.*

"Good balancing, fine steel, and the glimmer of magic. And the spiked head and pick, perfect for breaking armor. We are very lucky to have avoided this hammer's bite, even if it weren't enchanted. But perhaps I can put this to better use."
Jessica
"Neloth was conducting experiments along these lines. Although I thought he stopped after his assistant died in the process." He says, "Don't like how this is looking. Neloth is bold but he's no fool." He sighs, "You can keep the hammer if you want, I have no use for it, and it'd be a shame to leave it here to rot. Much like the General. I heard he was a courageous man, he stayed in this Fort till the very end."
Ruth
"Then I shall take it, I am curious what sort of effect it bears. And indeed, a shame to leave it to rot. Were I still in service, I might've worked to bring General Carius' body back to Cyrodiil for a proper burial. But as of now, I do not have a way to make that happen."
Jessica
"He deserves a proper burial, but I don't know Imperial customs." He says, "And I doubt Arkay would take kindly to us accursed performing a ritual in his name. Especially since I do not worship him."
Ruth
"If it helps, we Imperials bury our dead beneath the earth in tombs or in wooden coffins. But neither do I pray to Arkay, at least not anymore. It does no good for the undead to pray to a god that doesn't approve of their existence."
Jessica
"The Fort should have its own crypt. We can lay him to rest there." He says, "Shouldn't take too long. Won't be able to give him his rites, though." He lifts the body up, carrying it over his shoulder
