Ordrin considers these unexpected wretches. (Insight: 5 + 2)
OoC: Should he get a bad feeling about the two, Ordrin won't respond. But if he is reassured or fails the roll, the following:
"Ah, hunger is a demanding master," Ordrin says. "Zuu-duu, I can give you a bit of nourishment if you'll let me. And I can help your Ruu-duu, if I may touch him and keep me arms."
Should she assent, Ordrin will retrieve his only ration from his pack and give it to Zuu-Duu. Then he will cautiously place one hand on Ruu-Duu and cast Cure Wounds at 1st level (8 + 3 (for life domain)).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
DM Secret Roll(Not Pertaining to Insight Check):
2.
To Hyakujuo: You forgot the Wis mod you get to add on top of the life domain bonus, making it a +5 in total. Nice rolling, all the same.
The two wear their feelings of their sleeves, so it doesn't take much to figure they don't mean further trouble. But more than that, he cannot tell. "Zuu-duu not have-" The half-Ogre starts to say, but the rest catches in her throat as she stared wide-eyed at Odrin. The sound Ruu-duu's shuffling about so at least legs rested beneath it shakes her from her stupor. Both the healthy portion of dwarven rations and less as much gnome ration are accepted without complaint. Zuu-duu holds up a hand to Ordin at first as he starts to reach out. But after giving Ruu-duu a few moments to demolish the dwarven sized meal from her hand, she smiles, and reaches out to pat him hearty pat on the shoulder.
"You... You good people. Like Mamma said once. 'fore she stopped moving. Zuu-duu and Ruu-duu.... we started not to believe anymore. But, good people are out there." Zuu-duu starts to sniffle, and got all misty-eyed look at everyone gathered about. Around this point Lokk finally comes trudging forth with a makeshift sack and plops it before the duo without much care. "Here. Should fill you up for a day or two."He said, though looking inside revealed at least 4 days worth of rations... for a half-orc. As soon as the one-eyed rogue saw her lips start to tremble, he hastily darts back outside of her reach just a before she looked ready to wrap him up in a hug. "You guys... Very, very good people." She said unabashed by failure, as she happily took a healthy chunk out of some jerky. "But... But why? Why you so nice now? Why even here? Place not safe!"
OoC: I think I misled you because I only said +3 for life domain and didn't mention I already combined the bonuses. +2 for WIS, +1 for life domain 1st level spell slot. My bad.
The bonus from life domain is 2+the level of the spell lot expended. In this case, since you used a 1st level slot, the total comes up to 3 plus your wisdom modifier.

"We are traveling to Thundertree. We seek a druid there. We are looking for information to find a mine. Do you know Rediroth the Druid? That is who we are looking for. "
Pip says in answer to why they are here.
"Why is this place not safe? We've seen some strange things in the woods. What should we be wary of? "
It is all good, Hyakujo. Just didn't want you to short change yourself.
Do Mixum or Anton got anything they want to ask Zuu-duu?
Zuu-duu levels an incredulous look at the funny looking Gnome and then waves her hands about. "'cause Momma used to say only safe place are, uh.. towns! With Civeel folk." She sighs and rubs the back of her head. "Unless you like Zuu-duu and Ruu-duu. Then they run you out when ya Momma no move anymore." For at least a short while after, its hard to get Zuu-duu to say anything more, even if its about the food.
But afterwards she sighs and shakes his head. "Zuu-duu not heard of this Dru-dad, Readyroth. But maybe... maybe he one Zuu-duu saw in Thundertree."She shrugs. "Not been back there for long. Even less safe in places. Smokey smelling people roam streets there sometimes. Bushes sometimes bite you. And then...uhm... Oh! And then, big, green, flying lizard moved in recently too, I think. Saw it fly around once. But this was long, long back. Not go there since though." Zuu-duu shakes her head. "Thundertree.. Too wrapped up in forest too. Soon get eaten by it."
Zuu-duu squints at Ordin for a second, and then snickers, taking the comment to be some joke. The light in her expression fades at the mention of her Mum. "Momma... Momma with Biggest Momma now. "She pats the ground. "Biggest Mom Chunty has her name. Make momma long sleep safe from bad people and animals that like not so moving things." Zuu-duu says morosely. "Momma in better place now though, I think. No more worry about Zuu-duu or Ruu-duu. No more small people being meanies to Momma, 'spite her being small person too."
Ruu-duu the boar lets out a big yawn, earning bop to the head for the rudeness. "Wanna be with Mamma. But 'fore mamma go still, she said not follow 'till Biggest Mama said time. So.... Now Ruu-duu and Zuu-duu just live everywhere. Even if not so good at it."
Religion or History check for those interested in wanting to know who 'Chunty' is. Though feel free to guess as well. Also, if after this weekend folk are ready to move on to the next thing, just let me know.

It takes a few moments, as the main deity that comes to mind isn't normally associated with funeral rituals or death. But given the name, and the strange little charm you catch glimpse of hanging from her neck, you conclude she is referring to Chauntae the Grain Goddess, or otherwise known as the Great Mother and goddess of Life. A parallel deity to Silvanus, who is considered the god of wild nature, whilst Chauntae herself was seen as being the embodiment of all things agrarian or agriculture.

"Well, Zuu-duu, Chauntae is proud of you and Ruu-duu for cultivating her name in the face of such hardships. I, myself, am an acolyte of Sharindlar, a sister to the life bringer Chauntae. So," Ordrin continues awkwardly, "we are kin, you might say. My companions and I must rest, for we head to Thundertree tomorrow. But you are welcome to camp with us, I should think. Your snoring can't be worse than Pip. For a little fellow he's a mighty big horn. And should we find this druid and his ilk we will tell him to come find you, as you may have a common purpose as stewards of the land. Does this sound right to you?"
Zuu-duu rubs her head, as some of what Odrin says clearly goes over her head. Yet, after glancing over to her boar companion, she nods to solemnly. "Don't know 'bout, uhm... stewarsh, but Zuu-duu and Ruu-duu stay night with you all. Uhm... make sure noone else get any ideas. Maybe even helpf if come this way again."She smiles at Ordrin and tries to pat the dwarf on the head.
"Thank you again, arclight of Sharin. And may the Big Mama hide'ja from all the bad in Thundertree."
If there's nothing more, we'll skip ahead a little next time to just before entering Thundertree come tomorrow.

OOC: Before I forget AGAIN, everyone can add 130 xp to their sheet for successfully navigating the encounter. If this would level you up, then by all means get that situated while I finish figuring out the intro into Thundertree. Because I did not quite expect Odrin to play party voice for so long there, when I had something else already in mind for him coming up after. Aw-kward~
Anyhow, should officially have things moving again by monday.

During much of the strange exchange between Odrin and the Ogress, Mixum stays out of sight. He's keenly aware that his shot injured the boar.
While he is scouting for archaeological oddities on the hill he finds a strangely made gear about the size of his fist. It's design looks different, ancient or modern, he's not sure. Perhaps extra planar.
It is however just the inspiration he was looking for. He sets up his tent which serves as a mobile workshop and sets to work.
In the morning he emerges with something that looks like a clockwork spider outfitted with rotary blades and needled syringes. The rotors begin spinning and the homonculus hovers over his shoulder.
"This way Vector. I think we'll be heading out soon, let's find some breakfast!"

"I can certainty understand hunger. Please allow me to help."
Pip hands her 1 rations from his bag.
"Take these rations and I'm sorry for what has happened here tonight."

OoC: Sounds good. And henceforth Ordrin shall be known as the Arclight of Sharindlar.
OOC: Sounds good to me
Ooc: sounds good. A little lost on what to do about the ogre but entertained nonetheless.
OoC: Yup, works for me as well. Anton is I think a bit bewildered by the situation, but is fine with letting Zuu-duu rest with them.
