The ice mage paid no attention to her companions, so concentrated she was on casting her magic to be rid of the foes that surrounded her. As one large skeleton started shambling toward her on rickety white legs of bone, Adelaide conjured up a large ball of snow and hurled it straight at the undead creature, temporarily blinding it and halting its steady approach her way. She wasted no time and promptly froze its skeletal feet in blocks of ice before she sensed movement behind her.
Another skeleton ambled towards her, stretching out bony arms, fingers outstretched to claw out her eyes. Adelaide ducked just in time and sent a couple ice bolts flinging towards its bone-white face which seemed to only mildly injure the thing. It shook its head as though disoriented before it came at her again, swiping an arm at her. It clawed at her robe and tore it a little at the side, which only made Adelaide angry. Summoning another ice pike from out of the ground, it pierced the walking corpse, breaking it in two, half of its body falling to the ground as it struggled for purchase. But it wasn't dead yet. Adelaide encased its head in ice, using as much magical energy as she could muster and then blasted the head to pieces, finally killing it.
The skeleton from before broke free of its icy prison then, but Adelaide saw it in time and dealt with it, before moving onto a group of slowly advancing zombies coming from her left. Focusing on her reservoir of wintry cold magic, the white-haired woman made the ground erupt in a bunch of really tiny, but really sharp icicles, making the area difficult terrain for all caught within the effect. Most fell down in a heap, flailing arms wildly as they scrambled to find their footing, some of them crushing parts of the others' bony limbs in the process as they fell on top of each other. Only two managed to quickly right themselves and continued onward, while the other eight were still piddling around on the ground in a pathetic mess of rotting arms and legs.
So concentrated Adelaide was on the zombies before her, she failed to calculate a new threat in their midst. Feeling a massive blow knock her to the ground face-forward, the ice mage lay there momentarily seeing stars as her mind struggled to come to terms with what had just happened. Then the pain registered. Rolling over on her side, her hand briefly touched her back before bringing her hand within view of her face. It was covered in blood. Shortly after that realization, she began to feel weak as though her physical strength were slowly ebbing away and from more than just the blood loss. Adelaide managed to stand up again on shaky legs to assess just what exactly had dared to hit her.
A huge towering figure covered in black rotted plate mail carrying a gigantic greatsword which glowed in an eerie red light stood there. Its ice blue eyes stared at her, cerulean gaze making Adelaide freeze briefly in terror with the strength of that gaze. It stood there triumphantly as though it thought its victory already imminent, therefore snapping the ice mage out of her daze. She moved just in the nick of time as the greatsword slashed the ground next to her, leaving a huge gouge in the frosty earth. While her magic may be enhanced in this cold place of never-ending white, she didn't think it would be enough by itself to defeat the enemy who was now trying to hack her to pieces with the mighty weapon it wielded in its black, spiky gauntlet-covered hands. Her strength was slowly returning as she kept on trying to dodge the sword strikes, while also gathering more energy to cast her magic. Finally she managed to throw a conjured ice spear measuring a foot in length at the creature, which only slowed it down for a couple seconds.
Adelaide thought it was time to put some distance between it and herself, and promptly began running away from it to battle weaker enemies instead. Her back was still bleeding, leaving a trail of blood in her wake, and Adelaide began to feel rather light-headed as a result. Meanwhile, the Revenant looked at her retreating form and let out a bellowing laugh of rumbling thunder, seeming to penetrate into all three of the companions' very bones with the sinister sound the laugh had evoked. Ignoring Adelaide for the time being, it decided to go after Slithix instead. The Revenant swung its red-glowing sword at the assassin's neck, meaning to decapitate him if Slithix didn't dodge in time.
Adelaide struggled to get her bearings back before remembering something. Grabbing the ice necklace from around her neck, she touched one of the frost diamonds on the silver sparkling chain, chanting the command word for 'blizzard' and then tossed the now loose crystal at the Revenant figure. A mighty blizzard immediately took effect, most of it concentrated on the enemy in question, harshly ripping holes into its already hole-riddled armor, before tearing a large chunk of it away in the whipping winds. The piece of black armor hit the group of zombies head-on and abruptly crushed them in its onslaught. Of course, that meant the Revenant was now much less protected than before as its decayed chest now showed part of an undead heart, making it quite vulnerable to any melee attacks sent its way. Surely if one of the group were to attack it there, it would fall dead.
The icy winds continued to violently whip around, felling more and more of the undead creatures, while even more continued to claw their way out of the ground below. There were so many, it would be near impossible to count just how many, especially in the frenzy of battle taking place. All the while, the wight whose head was crowned in gold simply watched the proceedings with calm glowing eyes of cyan as the madness continued on into the night...
