We should probably make sure that we inform Morlia of the change in plans somehow before she goes and kills Necro-chan right at the end of the fight thinking she's being of assistance.

You take the hilt of your sword in two hands, time to end this. Now you know the necromancer's just a girl that betrayal thing is on hold, who wouldn't want a necromancer minion. Even if necromancy is currently illegal in Cyrodiil. No one else has to know. Once you've dealt with the bandits of course. Speaking of....
You let out an impressive war cry and smash your crystal sword into the armourless bandit's abdomen. It has predictable results. Lots of blood and screaming from the bandit. He goes down, frantically trying to shove his intestines back onto his body.
"Master, she's just a young girl, I think I'll call her Necro-chan, can we keep her?" You shout to the bushes behind you. The axe wielding bandit swipes at you, screaming something about how 'Jeff was a nice guy and you killed him, you monster!' The iron head of the axes takes a chip off your arm. It hurts a little, kind of like a paper cut but a little worse.
"Necro-chan can you use your break everything spell on the archer guy." You ask and her hood bounces up and down a couple of times.
Fire ignites in her palms and she throws it with pretty good aim at the archer. His weapon splinters to dust in his hands and his armour flakes off him in moments. He lets out a girly scream and runs directly away from you into the countryside.
A little fireball whizzes over your shoulder, striking the axe bandit in the shoulder. That's the last straw for him. He tries to chop up Necro-chan but she manages to jump out of the way. A little bit of black fabric flutters free of her robes. Then the bandit runs like his friend.
You haul your arm back, aim for him and throw your sword as hard as you can. It misses him and bounces hilt first off a tree. Oh well, if that had worked it would look really cool.
"Yeah! That showed them! Morlia, Necro-chan high fives!" You turn to the two and hold up your hands expectantly. If you had a face it would have fallen comically. Morlia has a palm full of small scarlet flames shoved almost inside Necro-chan's hood. The necromancer is shaking visibly in fear.
"Necromancy is illegal." Morlia says flatly. "Fast check the bodies for anything useful." She snaps at you. "We'll take this necromancer to the guild, they know how to deal with her kind."
"But..." she didn't sound much older than a kid.
"Now Fast!" Morlia shouts at you. Quickly, so she can't complain, you gather what you can from the dead and the dying. A couple of health potions, several lockpicks and something that looks like a poison. There's an iron bow, a couple of iron maces and some crappy leather armour on some of the other dead bandits.
Necro-sempai yields a pair of health potions, a pair of magicka potions and two scrolls along with a signet ring that looks pretty valuable for the gold in it alone. You hear Necro-chan crying.

Is summoning daedra's illegal? Cause that seems like the kind of thing that would be but I don't know enough Elder Scrolls lore to know for sure.
Basic ideas, just about to go to bed.
[X] Attempt to stick the weapons and armour in our inventory.
-[X] If this fails leave them as they don't look very valuable.
[X] Tell Morlia to stop being such a bitch then comfort Necro-chan. We're good at hugs.
I doubt the inventory thing will work but it's bound to be entertaining either way.

They aren't exactly illegal but frowned upon.
Except in Morrowind I think.

I think that this might actually convince Morlia to spare your precious necromantress.
Asking her to pardon and travel with a practicing necromancer is likely to he an exercise in futility.
I think this is going to be another one of those times when if we want to make the crazy shit happen, we have to act in a coherent and sensible manner.
Does anyone have any thoughts about the plan I propose, or any additions that could strengthen our case?

Sorry to bother you all, but you all seem to want Morlia to spare the young necromancer. If we want to do that, we will almost certainly have to try pretty hard to convince her. I don't know if she is actually part of the guild, but she seems to share their deep-seated revulsion of necromancers.

The cyrodil mages guild banned it. Many necromancers are very unhappy about this.

If we keep her around for a while, stop her from doing necromancy and keep Morlia mostly happy about it, then they'll grow to be friends maybe.
Then we just get into a desperate situation where being able to summon undead is useful, and Morlia will rationalize it. It helps if the necromancer is someone you actually care about and don't wanna betray, for that.

Harsh, dude.
Can you think of a way to convince morlia go spare her despite her remaining a necromancer, then?
I confess, I am rather drawing a blank on that one.
That's the plan, more or less.
Edit: when the time comes, it will be interesting to see how far Morlia is willing to go for her revenge...

It may well be just us that have no particular interest in saving the necromantress.
At this stage it seems impossible to stop the enormous impetus behind that decision, so it is my goal to ensure that we do it well, rather than poorly, if we are bound to do it.

I could have sworn that necromancy was just banned in the guild, not actually illegal in Cyrodiil.
summoning unbound daedra, on the other hand, is very illegal everywhere.
