What are you doing, heading South to the pull or heading West to Phandalin? Also what pace will you be setting?
Mylene orders the group South to investigate The Pull. She inquired what was to "the south from here," rather than the north, if the pull is to the south. Does Brun still answer with "the old well"?
They will set another brisk pace, simple for those on horseback, a bit of a jog for those not, with speed in mind but still precaution given there recent combat encounters in this area, ie, assigning lookouts in various directions, etc.

The banshee looks outraged at Latrius's somewhat rude remark for her to cut out the dramatics. Kieero and Naivara, you have a moment to try and salvage the situation... What do you do?
You head south and, after about 2 hours of travel, come up on a rise in the forest ahead. Atop the small rise is an area surrounded by crumbling walls. You can see a tent and the remains of a tower in the area atop the rise. From this vantage you can't see much else.

Mylene continues to follow the "Pull," ordering the others to simply "stay close." She looks to Leto to see if he is still sensing the pull from the direction of the tower, or the tent, and tries to discern the same for herself. Regardless, as they continue, she orders Walter and the others to keep an eye out for trouble, and to investigate the tent prior to making entry into the tower. "Walter, Brun - what is known about this tower?"
"Latrius, we're guests in her house, attempting to ask for a favor; we're not in a position to be rude."
He turns to the banshee, bowing. "We mean no disrespect, madam. We apologize for the intrusion." He straightens up, adding: "My name is Kierro, this is Latrius and Naivara. We're here on behalf of Sister Garaele in Phandalin."

As you approach the top of the rise, and pass through the outer crumbling wall you find...
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.
Mylene, you feel the pull towards the tent.
Leto, your pull is towards the remains of the tower.
"Seems someone is digging here again..." Walter comments, not overly concerned by the tent being there. "People like to come here and try to dig up old relics, some find a few items, other just waste their time."
“I am feeling drawn to that tent. Come, we will investigate it first,” Mylene says. She moves to the tent, looking for any sign of current occupation thereof as she tries to locate the likely object drawing her closer.

The banshee settles down and glances at the comb. She takes it.
The ghostly figure smiles with cold amusement.
"Very well," she says. "I traded the book to a necromancer named Tsernoth from the city of Iriaebor more than a hundred years ago. I do not know what became of the book afterward."
Without another word she fades and is gone, comb with her.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mylene...
You are distracted by an unholy stench coming from the direction of the tower. as you glance that way you spot several zombies starting to shamble in your direction. A blur of motion is seen from the corner of your eye, but you can't quite catch what it is, other than it came from enar the tower and headed towards the well. You have a more immediate threat though, as a group of zombies start moving towards you.

Yep, south is old owl well.

Also, as far as pace goes, fast pace gives you disadvantage on perception checks, regardless if you are having people keep an eye out.
Normal pace allows for standard movement and standard perception.
Slow pace allows for stealthy movement.
You can't move fast and keep a good lookout for danger.

Normal pace it is, too many of us to be stealthy in any case, especially with horses, but the area has proven too treacherous for a fast pace.

"They're slow and clumsy, these creatures, fire and fall back and pick a few off as they close, then lay waste to what remains," Mylene orders.
