I slowly regained consciousness. I stared at a blank, gray face that was staring back. I startled and rolled away and stood up, drawing my glaive. "Are you a knight?" The owner of the face asked.

Our chief deity is called Dragonsbane." "That's... odd?" "Anyway, where do you come from?" "Well, I currently am based on the Material plane" "So far?! No wonder you slept so long. You came like a falling star. Just... after..." she started crying. "Ther there. Just take me to your home so I can discuss my problems with your shaman." she burst out in tears. "They're all dead. My whole village is dead!" Oops...
