What actually happened? I respawned at home, grabbed a hammer, enough wood, leather scraps and resin to build a raft, ate some food and went on a naked corpse run to recover my stuff. By that time night had fallen.

Died from drowning because I was a chowderhead, and made an equally chowderheaded attempt to recover my body and gear. Odin must have a soft spot for chowderheads. I made it without seeing so much as a drop of rain or a single neck.

Don't try this at home.
