Your soul returns to your body and brings your ability to perceive sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste with it.
You find yourself in a soggy meadow between tree roots that are at least twice your height, with a partial roof of similarly massive tree roots growing in a separate layer above those. Only a partial roof because you can see dim light shining past gaps large enough to climb through, and because there are several waterfalls pouring down into your meadow from above.
You step out of the way as you see a new torrent beginning to form right above your head. The new vertical stream is accompanied by the sound of several panicked human voices, then punctuated with a monstrous roar and the sound of cracking wood from above. Maneuvering out of the way of the stream turned out to be quite a wise move, as a man crashes right behind the water and falls in a heap on the ground before you.
"Oh God! Shrike! Are you okay!??
Just hold on, we’ll come get you in a minute!"
You can't tell if presumably Shrike is dead or just unconscious, but he’s not moving so it must be one or the other. A weapon tumbles from the body's hands, coming to rest at your feet.

-Greatsword
-Other?
You quickly snatch the weapon up as a big, ugly, eight foot tall something crashes through the woody ceiling a distance away. It has eyes all over its body, which only spare you a glance before focusing on Shrike’s body at your feet. Most of its torso opens up, and it unleashes another beastial roar that drowns out the sound of fighting and water, and nearly deafens you in the fairly enclosed space down here. That buys you time though, and you notice several injuries on the monster, it’s not doing terribly well.

-Discretion is the better part of valor, get out of here.
