As the Necromancer approached, he was stopped by an elven warrior.

Elven warrior	"Greetings, weary traveller! I see you are interested in our hamlet. Unfortunetaly, you'll have to pay the Entrance toll to get in. Or else you might end up like the others who didn't pay over there, you understand?"
Another elven warrior(distant)	"Go for the legs! that trick always works!"

It is now obvious that this bandit and his gang has this town in captivity! If no one interfeers they will continue to steal from the local villagers. The Necromancer thinks up of three different solutions to this.

He can either: Summon his skeletons in a surprise attack, call the bandit out on his scheme and call some real guards, or simply just pay the bandit.

Attack the bandits

Call the bandit out

Pay the bandit
