"Thank you all. I will relay the information to my superiors for further inquiries to be made afield. I can make my own way back if you have other tasks to perform"
“Well that was, erm different” says Ol at the rather quick exit of the sister. “It’s dark, these woods are unfamiliar and there’s sound of a homely castle to east”. Ol looks at Brand and Lucius with a wry smile. He lights his Torch and starts East.
“Pin your ears back and keep you wits about you I’ve bo faith that good is going to find us in this place” Ol thinks on what he has leaned over his life about this area.

The party passes the night without issue in the ruins of the town. When morning comes, with dew still on the grass, they set off for the Old Owl Well.
The journey takes them back along the path they travelled on the wagon, flat grassland all around. As they come to the mouth of the valley, the sun has fully risen and has crested the top of the tallest hills around. Ol has been in places like this before and knows they can be excellent ambush opportunities. He takes the lead and keeps his head on a swivel
As you crest a low ridge, you spy the crumbling ruins of an old watchtower standing amid the rugged hills. The place is so old that the walls are only mounds of rubble enclosing a courtyard of sorts, adjacent to the broken stump of an old tower. A colorful tent has been set up in the middle of the courtyard, but no one is in sight.
Brand completes two bombs. With the flash of inspiration while working on the last one, Brand understands the process better and is confident he will be able to complete them more easily from now on.
Brand and Ol are aware the tower was built thousands of years ago by a long-vanished empire. Time has left Old Owl Well a ruined watchtower that now consists of little more than a few crumbling walls and the broken stump of a tower.
Ol heard in the inn at Phandalin that in the tower’s courtyard stands an old well that still delivers clean, fresh water.
"I know not where the mines lie, other than those that are delved daily by the people of Phandelver. This castle though, that I can divine. Hold here"
Agatha disappears and then reappears a couple of minutes later.
"Cragmaw is in the Eastern reaches of these very woods, almost directly North of Phandalin. Not too far in from the border, from what I can scry"
"I tire of this. Leave me now. That last one has sapped my remaining patience."
With that, she disappears
Brand bids farewell and steps outside with the others.
"Well we have some undead and orcs to purge. Sister, i believe we fulfilled your request."
"Thank you all. I will relay the information to my superiors for further inquiries to be made afield. I can make my own way back if you have other tasks to perform"

Brand curious as to the presence of a colourful tent in the middle of some ruins, looks around for any signs of an ambush or trap.

“Well this is either a very bad trap or the intentions of the owners of that tent are fairer than my cynicism allows me to believe.”

Ol smells a deathly odor wafting from the tower’s direction.
