Gregor stands by idly, both hands resting on top of his Greatsword, which rests on the ground tip-first. He listens as the people that are better at him at talking do what they do, and keeps an eye and ear out for trouble. Seeing that it seems safe for now, he picks up his sword with what would be surprising ease (for those that didn't know him) and even holds it up using just one hand for a few step as he walks slowly over to the bound Ogre. "Well then.. if you know where this man is, then I'm sure you can lead us right to him." Gregor says, hefting his giant sword with both hands now.
"And if you do it correctly, we can even let you go... alive." he grunts, jerking his head towards the corpses of the other, not quite so alive Ogres. "And if not, well... based on how some of your friends tasted... I think you'll be good eating." he rumbles menacingly, with an unusually vicious look in his eyes that actually seem quite serious, as if he would love to kill and eat a fresh Ogre, and has done it before. For added emphasis, he licks a bit of Ogre flesh and blood off of the hilt of his sword (which he had left there for exactly that purpose) chews a bit, then swallows.

His eyes light up darkly a bit as he savors the flavor of the bit of gore. "Yes... not bad at all." he ponders out loud. And he actually seems serious.
"Well Burk, if you take us back to the masked man we will make sure he pays all your money, and all the money owed to your fallen friends". Ketrey unties Burk, and casts invisibility on the party "Quickly, Burk, show us the way. And remember to smile! Just think about all those coins".

"Yes, sounds like a plan. I don't think we could fight this village without an army." Gregor whispers in reply. He keeps an eye out for the Ogre's mysterious human-sized contact, as well as trying to figure out escape routes in case they get discovered.
There are game trails very similar to the one you're on at what, if you're at 6 o'clock, would be 10 and 2 o'clock. Other than that, the village is built on the side of the mountain, on what could easily be the only flat space large enough to fit it.
Gregor:
You also see the xorn. Watching. Just sitting there. Watching. You have the sudden suspicion that it's been watching you since the interrogation. Just watching. Watching.

As the party travels, Gregor sweeps his head back and for periodically, checking the front and flanks, even sometimes turning to look to the rear. During one of those sweeps he stops and pauses a moment, and seems to stare off at something in the distance. "Hold a moment." he says quietly aloud, his voice tinged with concern. He beckons the rest of the team closer with his right hand and lifts his left to point off in a direction. "We have a spy, I think. The Xorn. I don't know if you can see it there, but I think it's been following us and observing." he reports, waiting a moment to give everyone time to see for themselves. "If it's tracking us, how is it doing it? Aren't we invisible at the moment? Is it sensing our vibrations through the ground?"

"Masked man 'bout his size," says Burk, indicating Gregor.

"Are you supposed to meet with him again?" Ketrey gets nose to nose with the creature
"Burk meet masked man. Burk not know when. Burk not know where--no, Burk lie. Burk know where. Burk meet masked man at Burk home."

"his house is probably being watched...should we follow him back?"

"Burk not know where masked man is. Burk not know where masked man is!" At this point, Burk collapses in terror-fueled tears. "Not eat Burk," he sobs.

Zane switches to the simpler language the ogre seems to be using, "What Burk get for killing us?"
"We may want him to report back to whoever the masked man was and say that he completed his mission.. ?"

Zane is talking quietly to the rest of the party, "I mean.. we can send him back to report success and follow him invisibly or something like that."
"I can do that! Splendid idea Zane."
Gregor looks away and scratches his chin as he thinks, "Yes, that's actually quite subtle. I approve." he says after a few seconds.
"Then let's do it!" Aurora clasps her hands, then scratches her head and faces Burk again. "Did you get paid in advance?"
"Burk not paid yet."

Burk lumbers off. You follow. Burk goes up the mountain, along a game trail. On the other side of the mountain is an ogre village.
60 ogres, of which 22 are here.
The village bustles with activity.

Ketrey addresses the party "Keep you eyes open, and stay alert."
Zane is keeping his eyes very open, looking for anything and anyone that might look like a masked man.
"Yes, sounds like a plan. I don't think we could fight this village without an army." Gregor whispers in reply. He keeps an eye out for the Ogre's mysterious human-sized contact, as well as trying to figure out escape routes in case they get discovered.
