Vilana would accept Hamun's task before leaving and will ask all he can tell about that banshee - habits, best way to approach her, any particular things she might not like - all he can tell.
(OOC: I believe Vilana, Honor, and Sylcan didn't hear that - I may be wrong, though.)
As Kierro approved it, Mylene again approaches the necromancer, greeting him with a curtsy while looking a bit fresher and more put together. “Master Kost, you mentioned other inquiries from the banshee? What specifically would you like us to ask about? If it’s knowledgeable it might be able to provide answers we seek as well.”
She coughs into her hand, then adds, “We may be able to share information as well. On touching that broom I recalled much more about the place I and the others, I believe, came from. A continent and a land that seems unfamiliar, quite different from this corner of the world. Are you from this region, or parts abroad? You may be more aware of the wider world than the provincial people of Phandalin.”
Mylene describes the main continent of the Wildemount setting as best as she can, and a general overview of the politics, the Dwendelian empire, and so on. “Is this the same continent? Or perhaps it’s distant history? Or another part of the world altogether? Or even... a different world altogether?”

Naivara nods, "I... um... sorry for yelling..." she says to everyone who's still around.
Kierro nods to Naivara. "It's alright - it was even helpful, really. Had you not done it, we would have been at each other's throats. And, being one of us, you're entitled to share your viewpoints with the rest of us. I'm glad you did."
Leto looks to Mylene and says “I do am glad I am not dead...”leaving a pause for the unspoken ‘again,’ and adds “and you as well. I tried to retrieve you before everything went to shit and the little one stabbed me... I am sorry that I do not yet have a memory of you, but from what I’ve seen here, at least you have a goal.”
Leto now also has a black raven on his shoulder that he reaches up and feeds small scraps to from time to time. At any questioning glance he says “This is Shai, a pet I remembered from a previous memory... it seems he’s found me here as well.”
Mylene - Leto, private (prior to the second meeting with the necromancer)
”I am glad you regained something. I don’t blame you for what happened back there. I appreciate that you did what you could. Obviously I’m displeased at the loss of soldiers, and Brun was a competent ally, that certainly stings, but losing you would have meant more than the loss of an asset,” Mylene says. More quietly, speaking only to Leto in a moment of private conference, she adds. “While we know such a loss would not necessarily prove permanent, it would still be unsettling. I’m glad we’re not separated.
“You and I know that Tessa could threaten us again in the future. I see no need to alarm the others with this right now, I’ll try to think of the best way to approach the subject with them at a later time when we are sharing information . We should be wary, however. You said that the soul bonded items you have came into contact somehow traveled with you when you awoke elsewhere? We should assume that will be the same with Tessa. She will still be dangerous. You likely don’t know if you left behind a corpse or if it dematerialized, or if the items themselves did, leaving a body. I suppose the necromancer might learn this. I’ll try to warn him. It’s possible that Tessa might not resurrect because her body is being animated by necromancy, but a cockroach like her is hard to stomp out, so I wouldn’t count on it.”

Sorry, but you were gone before the task was offered.

Or perhaps it’s distant history? Or another part of the world altogether? Or even... a different world altogether?”
"That is the small problem with the Banshee." Hamun says with a sigh. "She will only answer one question, and never shows herself to a person twice. This is why I cannot ask her any more questions, as I have already asked her one." He nods to Mylene. "as for what I want asked, i found a message in that hollow we revealed in the tower. It has told me that I need a password to move onward in my research here. Once I have that I feel the way onward will be opened up for me here. What I need to know is the true name of the Terraseer."
"I am not from this area, but from a land called Thay, a land far to the East of here." Hamun says with a frown, listening to Mylene's description of her world. "Those places and geography do not sound like any place i have heard of, historically or otherwise." He finally says. "Unless I miss my guess it is not of this plane, but somewhere else in the multiverse."
"Thanks... I'll be back," she says, turning around and walking straight into the woods. She doesn't return until the group of them are getting ready to leave.
”One question per person? Sounds like having multiple breathing allies will be of use to you after all, Master Kost,” Mylene says with a smirk on her face. “But I think it makes sense to do you this service, as with multiple people we can ask multiple questions. We should be able to answer your question on the Terraseer’s true name, and perhaps learn things of use to us as well.”
”This Thay place sounds faraway, and quite intriguing, I must say,” Mylene says, shifting from left leg crossed over the right to the reverse. “It seems you are also a long way from home, though perhaps not as far as we are. What brought you to this region? Simply the excavation of these ruins? Did you come alone, intending to use your undead laborers, or were you originally part of a larger excavation team? Another advantage to living allies - we can get the word out that you’re to be left alone. Spread word that you have official dispensation to excavate these ruins, you’re not to be troubled, and so on. I would say you’ve had enough disruptions as of late, no?”
Mylene toys with a lock of golden hair as she considers their own predicament. “We may be as far from home as one can be. Is there any precedent for this sort of thing here, multiple people from other planes of existence becoming stranded here, lost in space and time so to speak? Perhaps whatever phenomenon brought us here is in itself responsible for the effect on our memories. It seems most curious, but a bit too orchestrated to assume a random phenomenon.”
Kierro accompanies Mylene back to the tower, and listens to her conversation with the mage.
"It'll have to be you or Leto, then, since Latrius, Naivara, and I approached the banshee with a question earlier, after that orc attack."
He ponders as Mylene continues. His eyes shifting from the mage to the tower where the undead are, not seeming to trust him but not being confrontational either. When Kost mentions that he doesn't know of their homeland, he tells Mylene:
"That seems to confirm what I've thought. I'll tell you and the rest about it on the trail back to Phandalin."
Leto looks to Kierro and replies “Interesting. And what exactly did you ask it? If one of us is to use a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity like this, perhaps the lion’s share of any reward should also be ours alone no?” ((Btw... Leto was sleeping... what is the reward for this at this point?))
"There's no reward involved, it was a personal matter to repay one of my own debts. And what I asked it is neither my business nor yours, as it was someone else's question."
