Regular old slaver (nonsexual) is an option for every non-Christian. But that depends on how they act.

Medieval Europe believed there were men with dogs heads in Africa, so the idea that these funny looking people are still people isn't going to be difficult. If they make a big show of being Christian (or of converting to Christianity) they'd probably escape with being taken to the local noble as entertainment. If they're not Christian and won't convert, being enslaved is possible, but medieval Christian Europe didn't stab everyone who was brown (and therefore probably a Muslim) on sight. They won't be easily mistaken for a nationality any particular country is at war with, so what they're going to be is foreign.

If they're traders, rather than heavily armed crazy DF characters, they'll be treated with suspicion as foreigners, and potentially barred entry from town, but cautiously welcome in a market outside of town.

If they're the usual heavily armed crazy DF characters, they're going to be scary people and it doesn't matter if they're elves, half-ogres, or humans, they're going to be treated as scary people.
