"Well, the first thing it asked me was why it shouldn’t eat me. Don’t think my response was terribly coherent, but it seemed . . .enthralled. It was kind of disturbing. Tessa was there as well, she was sleeping next to it. It told me I could take my item from its hoard for free, I think it let Tessa do so as well. She told me she did die, but that death doesn’t seem to stick to us. I went ahead because I wanted to make sure Mylene didn’t get there first and try to hold our items hostage. I would have tried to get yours as well, but I didn’t want to push my luck."

"It seems we all had the same idea about second half of the "party mad"... I wonder if Milene indeed had it too. Well, if we are also immortal now, what's a one little green dragon to immortals? Let's go!"
How do you propose getting ahead of Mylene's group? They are following the pull straight north, as you are. Does Latrious want to make any suggestions, having had some details of the village. You would know the pull will take them to the road into town, which then will lead them past the same ruined cottages, and up to the store with the spider webs. The path up the hill is from there. You could probably skirt town and simply climb the hill from the North, and go straight up to the top of the hill. Not sure how much time it will cut off, but it may let you catch up some.
Whatever way they are going to take, it will be sometime before the group reaches the dragon. Enough to ask and answer a question: "So, Latrius, since you got your item, any new general revelations? Like the one we shared at the necromancer's place about us being from another plane?"

"I can't imagine a dragon choosing to give up magical items, especially a chromatic one. Higgul, are there known to be any dragons in the area? Latrius, you said it seemed enthralled? By your explanation, or something else?"
"Not asking for personal details, do not worry. Unless you remembered us as well - if we are bound together, there had to be one point where we all were involved in something. That "something" could mean a lot. But just the news about Tessa and our apparent immortality... This is huge! Hope we all share the trait. And another thing - Tessa was killed by a mage or his zombies, what if one of us kill another?"
"I'd rather not test that theory." Kierro says to Vilana. "And while us not being able to die is certainly great, it goes without saying that we should try and avoid it wherever possible."
To Latrius, he says: "Perhaps I might be able to enthrall it further so we can safely find our items - I can speak draconic, which it might prefer speaking."
So... How are you moving? Straight in after Mylene or going the round-about way to come at the hill from the North instead? You could probably just parallel the path and come in from the same direction, just behind the tavern and straight up the hill, as Latrius did last time. It would save having to backtrack or fight the spiders, which Mylene's group will need to do one of those.

Latrius:
‘Latrius is quiet for a few minutes. Then, he finally responds.
"I remembered my history. At least, before I became an adventurer. It was . . ."
He hesitates.
"Short, bloody and unpleasant."

Paralleling the path sounds good.

None of the locals know much about this place. They steer clear of it.
Then we choose the easiest path, I guess (parallel?)
