"He thinks he might. Only one way to find out. Shall we?" Carefully, using cover if possible, she would try to get closer to see the whole picture (and get the sense, where the pull is taking her).
Straightening up after having been seen by Alden, Sylcan walks over to the group. Grinning sheepishly, he adds to the conversation. "Hey, I don't mind - free horses are always great." Swiveling on his heels as Vilana goes to walk away, he calls out,"Wait, Vilana - how about I go in the open? I can distract whoever's there, probably, making it easier for you to pick up whatever you can."
With a dashing smile, Sylcan winks and says, "Not to worry. If there's one thing I know the value of, it's my life. It won't be taken from me that easily."

Honor shrugs. "Up to you if you want two or one going stealth -- I'm not going to manage it," she says regretfully. "Though, before we get too close, Vilana, can you relay what you might know?"
"Only what I said - some time ago (quite unknown but the tower was still standing) it belonged to a powerful mage. It is a ruin now, but if there is a man around by the name Terraseer, we might want to be polite. Just in case."
Sylcan can consider Vilana notice the dashing part, giving back a quick smile.
Alden shrugs and says, “all or nothing is the best way to go. “He nods to the group of you. “I’m with you guys." he glances to the horses though. “I should probably stay with the horses though, otherwise we might not have anything to get away from here on. “
as a group of you start on up the slope towards the well, you would notice that Alden removes his red cloak and turned inside out to show a brown cloak as he put it back on with the brown inside facing out now.
as those who approach the well directly reach the top of the slope, you would see Walter kneeling by line of unconscious people laid out near the tower. A man in wizardly robes stands next to the well, also close to a tent set up next to the well. Both of them look in your direction as you reach the courtyard. What do you do?
The mage frowns from Sylcan to Walter. "More friend of yours?" He asks Walter.
"More that I know them, than that they are my friends." Walter says with a frown. Sylcon would see Walter is kneeling next to Mylene, who appears to be unconscious. With ehr are Leto and 3 of the redcloaks. You would also see Vlar, one of the bugbears, and Montru, the female bugbear, nearby. Vlar is unconscious, wihle Montru is tied up, but conscious. One of the other redcloaks, Hezra would be the name you recall, stands off to one side, looking pretty burned and battered, but on her feet. She has blond hair and a fairly curvy body.
"Are you going to try to stab me in the back?" The mage asks Sylcan. Higgul and Honor would be there too, Vilana can be sneaking up or here as well, which ever she wishes. "That's what the halfling did when she arrived..."
"Ah," Vilana stepped to the light again in the most non-threatening manner. "I see not only you have met charming Mylene, but the sweet Tessa too. May I ask where she is now? The halfling? Mad as a March hare but usually persistent, would not want to have her on the loose around."
"No, we are not here to stab anyone. But if you trade even a few words with Mylene before she attacked you - I am not mistaken and it was she, who attacked, right? - she no doubts already informed you that she is not alone in a search of some particular items."
Vilana glanced at the tent. "For example the item I am interested in is in that tent. Oh, let me introduce myself - Vilana. May I have your name?"
"If I was trying to stab you, I'd have done so instead of walking up in the open." Sylcan holds up his hands. "I've got no quarrel with you - I'm only here to retrieve some items of mine." Sylcan eyes the female redcloak, before walking up to her. With a flirtatious grin and his hand held out, Sylcan winks at the redcloak. "I'm not usually bothered to remember names, but yours was attached to a face I couldn't forget. Hezra, correct?"

Honor
Honor is trying to get an eye on the weaponry situation: are those like Leto and Walter who are unbound still armed? Perception check: 12. In the meantime, she is attempting to look nonthreatening, or at least peaceful, while still armed.
Honor... It appears the wizard is unconcerned about weapons, as all of the unconscious forms seem to have their weapons on them still. Of note is a small bundle of items laying next to Mylene, where her hand crossbow, bolts, and a few daggers are laying a bit along the tower wall from her position.
Vilana...
"My name is Hamun Kost." The wizard says with a nod of greeting to Vilana. He is a stout, red-robed figure with sallow skin, a shaved scalp, and a black tattoo on his forehead. "So you do know of these I have met already." The mabge says, nodding to the line of unconscious forms. "Well the halfling was not as lucky and is taking up residence in the tower now, among the other dead bodies that will one day be used to create more zombies." He nods to the short walls of the stub of a tower. "There is no worries to be had about her causing any more troubles now."
He pauses and looks the four of you over. "As I have told Mylene, and Leto there, I need the answer to a question. If someone will travel to see the Banshee in Conyberry, I would be willing to open my tent, and the tower, to you, as well as to aid you in your search." He shrugs. "I think dear Leto was about to agree to him, and his servants, to travel to ask my question, when the halfling surprised me and things got a bit out of control for a few moments." He is clearly still wounded, bloody bandages over some of his wounds and limping a bit as he moves. "The question I need answered is who built this watchtower and well. The Banshee should be able to give you that answer if you are respectful." He waits for your answer.
Sylcan... Hezra frowns at Sylcan, but a bit of the shadows in her eyes seem to lift as she looks over him. "Yes..." She says, giving Sylcan a flirty smile in return. Give me a charisma persuasion check.
Hezra continues to give you that sultry look, as her hand closes over the hilt of her shortsword. Sylcan just notices it in the last moment, but Walter is there, stepping between the two as the blade slips free of its sheath.
"Move along." Walter informs Sylcan with ice in his tone. he then turns to Hezra and pulls her into his arms, comforting her as he pulls the blade from her hand.
Vilana...
"That would be good enough for me." The mage says with a nod of his head. "If you can give me reason to believe what you say is factual and not just made up on the spot to keep from having to do a little walking..."
"Out of curiosity," Vilana looked indeed friendly and curious, "how would you verify the answer from a banshee? You would not know if we brought you the true answer either. But anyway, that tower over there was a watch tower, that belonged to a very old wizard, called Terraseer. He built this place back when Netheril was not even an empire yet. Some Netheresen writings or objects - may be even caring his name - might still be around to prove I am telling the truth".
"Should you still be not convinced - there is a man on the road behind us, who heard me mentioning that name before we get here and you asked your question".
Honor
Honor tilts her head. "Does your spirit know of who might be here?" she asks.
