“So… a truce between us?” Vonth asks, trying to pin down the necromancer’s intent beneath all the layered words and veiled threats. He keeps his weapon ready nonetheless.
“And this lord you want raised again would be…?” He adds almost accidentally. Even as he asks, part of him questions whether he truly wants the answer. Surely it will not be a comforting one. He has yet to hear tales of benevolent necromancer kings ruling cheerful little kingdoms.
Vonth exhales slowly through his nose. The popular phrasing of being stuck between a rock and a hard place may need replacing with being stuck between a dragon and the undead if these two get their way…
((I'm starting to think Jan's estimate of being a day's travel away is way off if the troll managed to travel that distance this morning...))
She checks with K to see if they're ready to fly, making her way down out of the tree and moving away from the village in the direction opposite the trolls approach.

IN THE WOODS:
The necromancer turns their cowl hidden face towards Vonth. Vonth catches a glimpse of scarred and pock-marked skin; the result of a wasting-disease perhaps.
"When the Undying King rises to full power you will never have to fear death again," the necromancer says. "But who are you to need a truce?"
The forest has gone quiet with no sign of magic coming from Talis' direction anymore.
SITTING IN A TREE WATCHING THE VILLAGE:
((Time has been a bit fluid for Jan - rather than her just sitting in a tree waiting it's been streamlined a little))
K seems ready to go again, though a little disappointed to not get to watch the troll and what the guards do.
Opposite the trolls approach would take Jan along a pathway next to the river she saw when she was flying in and back in the general direction of where she things the lodge is.
