That progression in E minor would be i VI flat-VII V. You get a little bit of chromatic flair from the resolution between the flat-VII and V chords, since flat-VII only works in the Aeolian mode. The V works fine since it's a simple dominant chord. Scale-wise then, you can play comfortably in E natural minor until the B chord, at which point you'll want to raise your D to a D-sharp. And maybe C to C-sharp, but if you like the exotic sound, keeping it at C will give you that.
