[Alucard knows this plan. They don't like fighting in basements (primarily because you're fighting in a basement was Trevor's strategic explanation, which translated into issues of range), and there's too much equipment here. Alucard's already vaulted himself over a metal tray meant to hold tools for autopsies, and he's really trying not to think about that.
Easier to focus on how he needs to attack at an angle, so that when the necromancer falls back, it's 45 degrees left where there's a wide space that Trevor can take full advantage of.
Said necromancer moves before Alucard can reach him, before Alucard's sword can find purchase in necromancer's body. Instead there's a warm laugh, the kind of thing that would sound friendly if it wasn't so terrifying.]
Well met, gentlemen! And you've brought a friend with you! I wasn't aware that there were Speakers within the city. I heard that the last caravan here was heading west.
[Then there's something else. A gesture from the necromancer's hand, and shadows rising up and behind Alucard. They don't grab his limbs, they grab his torso, and when they meet his skin, there's a terrible crushing weight in them that makes him gasp for breath.]
