Look at the bright side: In a few hundred years, some necromancer will be happy to use the corpse.

I sincerely hope you were talking about the tree. In any manner, that was an extremely tasteless, if not downright offensive joke considering the situation at hand.

Yes, someone on the internet doesn't have emotions about family or friends dying so clearly nobody does. Clearly.

When did joking about the death of a person in someone's family become good taste?

Back to subject, I say we take the "safety first" approach when it comes to the possibility of the entire region wanting your head on a stake.

Agreed. We should destroy the tree as soon as possible. No one will think we're a necromancer if they don't see any actual necromancy.

When and if we do take down the tree, we should bash it with Rocky a few times to check if having the vitality bestowed in it will give it any special properties when used as a weapon.

EDIT: We should also try Rocky on something truly living later if we survive that long, and see what happens

I just realized, the conversion rate between mana and vitality must, at worst, be 2->1, since we lost 2 vitality and the least the spell could have been over by is 1 mana. So we should be able to survive using drain vitality on the tree, probably bringing us down to 4/10, which is our best option if we can't find a mana potion easily and in a way that doesn't draw suspicion.

That's 2v -> 1m at worst. Which is to say 6v out of our current 8v. And that's assuming it's a linear cost. v=2*m^2 fits the data we have just as well, and would mean that casting Steal Vitality right now would cost 2*3^2=18 vitality and kill us twice over. Let's not risk it.

That's fair enough.

That gives us two real options:
Get mana potion -> Drain vitality
Get axe -> Cut down tree

Gaining an axe might be tough though, being as they are all elves. Also if we do end up begging for a potion, lets try and be very very covert about it. If someone finds the tree while we are running around town looking for a potion while acting a bit panicked about it, the suspicion may point to us.

Hopefully we would still have enough time to escape before anyone made the connection. Things like this tend to only be obvious in hindsight. In any case, the mana potion is still our best bet, especially if we try to act calm and tell people we need it for our journey.

You know, our ranger friend may very well have one we can use. When we learn how to make them tomorrow, we can even give the one we make to him claiming we can return it because we were taught how to make our own.
