Master Vampire Adea

Adea attacks first, charging at Osmond and swinging her cleaver like a mad woman. Osmond neatly sidesteps her attack and readies a blast of his arcane power. He launches twin missiles of plasma at her, and she cackles. With inhuman speed, she slashes through each of his magic bolts, draining their power and obsoleting them.

"Parlor tricks," she hisses, charging him again. He dodges a flurry of attacks - each one too close a call. Osmond can't ramp up his attacks slowly - he has to go all out, right away.

Osmond kicks off the ground, hovering above the dark battlefield. Behind him, the thick fog of the Pale Court swirls ominously.

Adea adjusts herself and looks up at Osmond. He can fly, and she cannot - allegedly. He has the upper ground advantage.
