"Yeah, it's that what this is? I hurt all over; in places I don't have."

"That it is, kindling butt. When the plumaweavers healed me enough to wake up, I was able to revivify your charred remains. I didn’t know if I could bring you back. There was so much resistance to the magic. So you going to tell us how you singlehandedly and utterly destroyed that jagre? Always trying to be the hero, I tell you.

I think for a moment, then decide to knocked out be honest.
"I can't think of any semi-believable lie, so here it is. When you were knocked out, that big arsed ogre was on me like a fat boy on a buffet. He got two good swings on me before I could do anything. The only thing I could do was try to disarm him. Didn't work, but I knocked him into ol' Brumy my mule who started bucking setting off the dynamite I had packed. That's the last thing I remember."

"Ja! Ja! Whooping holla! Don’t tell that to the plumaweavers. They think you are a great dwarven sorcerer. The great folk hero!
Sorry ‘bout your mule and stuff though. Good thing your horse bolted with your other weapons and valuables that you keep with you. They got him back. I bet there’s a bonus in this for you if you don’t let on that you were packing dangerous fire sticks on a caravan! Ja! "
They have to repair the last lift and clear all the zombie bodies before proceeding. Time enough to recover. You wonder where all those strange places are that Plutoq mentioned, and those invaders. You may be leaving home for a bit.
"No time to rest for you! How’s your rear? You’re in charge of the rear, Ja! Get your revivified self up. We have to go secure the rear, folk hero."

I let out a long sigh.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming".
I slowly get up, stretching the stiffness out. I look around as we secure everything. I see all my gear was destroyed, but maybe something from the ogre may have survived.
"I think you're right Weed, let the others' imaginations run wild about what happened."
I stop him before we continue on, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Thank you for reviving me, I mean that. I hate to think it, but it probably won't be the last time."
We mount up, ready to be done with this trip.

"No Weed, not Whatever, I mean it. I will be leaving once we get to our destination and I hope you and Huatzi will join me."
As we get moving again, I'm not sure how to bring it up, so I decide to be bluntly honest, just like any self-respecting dwarf would do.
"Hey Weed, I don't suppose you've ever heard of the Oracle of Nulu by any chance, have you?"

Imsh isn't going to open up like that. He is too practiced and has way too many defenses. He does think over your comments.
Nula is the goddess of all living plants. I know her well being an Herbalist. She doesn't have a face or eyes, so I can't imagine her being an oracle, but there are so many strange things in this world and out of it. Though my art deals the path of the dead[, I do believe the wisdom of the great Kopak trees has some divination abilities.. The Yahca tree is the One Tree that grows from foundation to the Great Skyhome. All knowledge is known by the trees. They just won't talk. Perhaps this oracle is different. Sorry, I'm just rambling. I really don't know anything, Firewood Butt.
You ride your horse back behind the caravan a ways in the treeline. Imsh skirmishes around bushes and searches for herbs as he makes a "straight" path to follow you. You see a wisp of smoke coming from an area a few dozen trees ahead of you.

OOC:
We are moving to this gamersplane character sheet as dndbeyond is beyond frustrating for me to use here. You can go to your characters on the top bar and edit your character. Type in the inventory that you think you still have. Also, the a couple other back stories have figured out how to use the dice roll function here. Hit "Advanced" below the quick reply text box and hit "Add" and fill out the info. It rolls the dice when you submit. That way when you try to do a skill, you can go ahead and roll with your appropriate skill modifier. It works really in role play as I then KNOW I have something to adjust my story. I'll be using the tool from now on on saves and such, well, everything I want to roll on the table (see rule #3)

I think things over for a moment, then seeing Imish not far behind, I catch his attention and signal him I see something and am going to investigate.
Aug 5, 2020 1:09 pm
You can't see much for the tree branches. It appears to be a campfire but from here that's all you know.
Aug 5, 2020 3:00 pm
I dismount and secure my horse(Stomp). I signal Imish and wait for him. I explain what I've seen and ask him to back me up as I move to check things out. I draw my ax and proceed slowly through the trees. Before I get too close, I call out.
"Hello, the camp. Don't mean to startle. May I approach."
"Hello, the camp. Don't mean to startle. May I approach."

Having not cleared the trees, you hear and see nothing. There is no response from your shout.
Aug 5, 2020 5:43 pm
I slowly move through the trees until I get close enough to see who or what ever there is to see

There are three goblins asleep beside the dying fire. A large nest the size of an jagre sits on top of two bent down boughs pf a tree.
