Tessa seeing the situation is dire with the Zombies over running her allies, takes a Bonus Action to disengage from the Zombies surrounding her. She grabs Mylene's hand crossbow and Bolts as her action. She then falls back 25 feet to Montru's body, using it as cover as she crouches down behind her.
The necromancer looks over the carnage with a frown of displeasure. He limps around, fairly wounded himself, and looks through Tessa's belongings, removing a small gemstone and a large pearl from her pouch. He then also takes the cloak she is wearing, two magic-looking shortswords, and a figurine from her pouch. The rest of her gear is piled up near Mylene, the wizard having no use for a couple daggers. Tessa's body is hauled into the tower for zombie use later on. The mage then has his zombies haul Vlune's body into the tower as well. Leto and Vlar are laid out with the rest of the unconscious people, and Montru is tied up.
The mage and Walter have a discussion, and walter agrees to make sure Hezra behaves herself when she wakes up.

As the sounds of fighting end suddenly, Sylcan glances back at Vilana and Honor, then sneaks forward, around the perimeter of the clearing, to see what resulted from the fighting.

Vilana follows the example - meaning, is trying to stealth, after all, they all agreed on it. Right now there are two goals - find the direction of the pull, and access the situation.
As you approach the area of the well, Higgul would be walking down the road still, as he knows he is not likely to be able to stealthily approach. he would be moving slow though, letting Vilana and Sylcan get ahead of him in their stealthy approach. Honor can either be with Higgul or sneaking in the forest, as suits her.
As you all move closer to the slope leading up towards Old Owl Well though you spot one of the redcloaks standing with the three horses and donkey. He has heard Higgul's approach, and is glancing that way, looking worried as he looks between the slope up, where battle just finished, and the approach of Higgul.
The man has brown hair and brown eyes, and you would remember him as Alden. He has average looks, average height, and could disappear into a crowd without even trying. He is
completely average in every sense.
"Hey Higgul." Alden calls out. "All hell just broke loose up there, but it seems to have settled down..." He glances around. "Did you come alone or are there others around? Weren't you traveling with some of those Erased?"
Alden glances away from Higgul, at the sound of a branch snapping in the woods, towards where Sylcan is moving through the forest. "Well, seems you have at least one person with you..." Alden says as he glances back to Higgul. (Honor can speak up too if she is with Higgul.)
"Where is the bossy lady, Mylene?" Higgul asks Alden, who shrugs and nods up to the slope ahead.
"As far as I know they are all up there yet, but hard to say who lives and who does not." He grins to Higgul then. "Maybe I should fall in with you guys, you seem to be better off than the ones I was hanging out with before." He looks around and lowers his voice. "Plus the lady is quite bossy, I prefer not to have someone lording it over me so much, you know how it is..."
(Sorry, I slept in. If Higgul's not going to attempt stealth, then Honor will do the same and stick with him -- that way no one's alone.)
"Well, we're not so much with the banditry," Honor says. "But if you were to cut your losses and go we wouldn't stop you. Do you know what they found?"
"I'm not into all of the bandit stuff either." Alden says with a shake of his head. "Just threw in with these guys as they were the only real option in the area." He glances up the hill again. "No clue what they found up there, but someone sent up a huge blast of fire a bit earlier, then there was a lull, then the fighting started up again." He nods to the horses. "I was just trying to decide if I should take these horses and high-tail it out of here and maybe try for Neverwinter and a job change." He glances to Higgul and Honor. "I truly am not all that bad of a guy, Higgul can tell you... I'd like to travel with you, if you'll have me."
Higgul shrugs. "He isn't that bad, just a bit of a risk taker." Higgul agrees, having liked the guy the times they had met before now.
(Yes Sylcan and Vilana are near and can hear the conversation.)
"A smart man for sure," murmured Vilana, stepping out of the shadows, "saved himself and the horses. The dead certainly do not need horses anymore. Unfortunately, we have to look closer at what is going in there now. You still have your chance to run away and forget all about it or get into trouble but with us this time." She looked at others while Alden was weighting his options. "There might be a wizard around. A powerful one. We could get clues from the spells, yes, but so you know - if this is the one I am thinking about, he is no joke."
<Hope so!>
No, Tessa can do one or the other.

Leto death save: 19
Brun death save: 5
Zombies strike at Vlar:
Attack: 20 Damage: 8
Attack: 13 Damage: 10
Attack: 9 Damage: 9
Attack: 23 Damage: 10
Attack: 20 Damage: 10
Attack: 8 Damage: 5
Attack: 19 Damage: 5
Walter steps out and shoots at Tessa:
Attack: 18 Damage: 8
Mage steps out and casts a spell, targeting the area around Tessa. sleep
HP put to sleep: 25
Looks like Walter's shot would have taken Tessa down before the mage cast his spell, so no sleep spell. The zombies also take down Vlar.
Dice will decide who is able to stabilize
Brun is already dead, 3 failures.
Leto needs one more of either to stabilize: 15
Vlune needs 3 successes before getting 2 more failures:

Both Vlune and Tessa are dead as well.
Leto and Vlar both stabilize.

OOC: How long was it until Mylene regains consciousness? I think she was down from the earlier fireball, and then stabilized.
You have an hour and 45 minutes still.
OOC: Thanks, she'll continue her slumber. I lost track of that prior post, a lot going on with the scene.
