[ROUND ONE]

>As the vampire passed the point he pushed with his legs and leapt downward

The Vampire was too intent on its prey to focus on the possibility of attack from above. Just as the poor idiot about to become its supper was too intent on his journey to notice the man who had ducked into the alley behind him. 

As Tellos fell towards it, the creature dropped its masque and revealed its true face. A hideous corpse like mess of ravaged flesh. The eyes were somehow sunken and bulging at the same time, the flesh pulled so tight over the bones that the teeth were visible through the cheeks. All of this shocking visage Tellos took in ina split second as his adrenaline pumped through his body. 

He lands on the vampire in a less than glorious manner but brings the full weight of his body into play as the sword bites deep into the undead thing. Injuring it to some degree. The fact hat it doesn't bleed is no longer a surprise.

[Dice pool 3 for the fall/Jump and 6 for the actual attack. I see no reason to split the dice pool here as its not really two actions in one turn, simply a smooth transition from leap to attack. First roll 10, 5 and 3 = one Success. Not a spectacular piece of Athletics but a good enough job to be on target. The second roll was a spectacular 9, 9, 8, 8, 6, 6. Six successes. The Nosferatu (for that is what he is) is making no attempt to defend, but does soak with three dice and gets one success. So for damage Tellos gets 9, 8, 7, 6, 4, 4 = four successes, of which one is soaked, meaning the vampire takes three damage from the sword.] 

[ROUND TWO]

The Nosferatu howls even as it rolls forward and attempts to throw Tellos off of it. Dusty flesh and hanks of hair coming free as he struggles.

[The Nosferatu has an Initiative [Wits + Alertness] of 6 so is no faster or slower than Tellos. Actions are happening together unless either of them uses some power to change that.

>OOC note: I was told nameless NPCs can be genorated by anybody so if thats 
>true great if not tell me and this fight sequance can be reversed. Thank you :)

That is perfectly fine. Disposable characters are yours to create and deal with as you wish for the sake of story. So long as you use common sense I am happy. However, I must kick your but a little on the Thread name issue. Please keep the same name [Subject] for the mail until the scene changes so those who read the game from online can follow it and so I can read by subject. Thanks. :)

Also, 12:00 Am is a long way into the night. I am sure you don't want to wait weeks before you can post again so lets drop that and stick to the current timeline. :)
