The two members of the Sidhe Courts stared at each other from across a short distance.
Eldest Fetch, having assumed the form of a Spanish swordsman, narrowed his eyes at the short, stocky Gruff. "You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you."
A bemused smile began to form at the edges of Eldest Gruff's snout. "You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die."
The form of Eldest Fetch shifted, blurring into the shape of a Scarecrow. "I haven't got a brain. Only straw."
The beginnings of Gruff's smile bloomed into a full grin. "How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?"
Eldest Fetch's straw neck tilted to one side. "I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?"
Gruff shook his head. "Yes, I guess you're right."
Eldest Fetch's form blurred again, this time into the shape of a pale, regal man in fashionable clothing several centuries late. "Listen to them. Children of the night. What music *they* make."
A puzzled look appeared on Gruff's face, as he considered the appropriate response. He knew the reference, of course. Dracula, as if the stiff white collar hadn't been enough to give it away. But there was no reply in the original movie, save for the howling of the wolves.
A dark and malicious grin spread across Eldest Fetch's face, revealing his vampiric teeth. It seemed that he'd stumped his counterpart from Summer. And per the terms of their duel, if the stocky creature couldn't provide the correct response to his quote, he would lose the game. And with it, his life.
The seconds ticked by, as Summer's eldest servant wondered if this was the end.
But then Gruff's ears twitched, and he understood. His smile returned.
Rather than replying with words, his staff rose and fell, striking the alien ground with the sound of a thundering spring storm.
And with it, a column of flame erupted into thin air a few dozen yards away, enveloped the creature that had attempted to sneak up on them as they dueled. Dracula's creature howled as the flames consumed her.
When her howls finally faded, and her form crumbled to ash, Eldest Fetch gave a respectful bow to Eldest Gruff. The champion of Summer did the same, and then Winter's champion blurred again, assuming a new form.
And so they continued, until the day ended.

Not quite what I had in mind, but I like it!

A prepared Kincaid might have a chance. Especially if Morgan underestimated him. I feel like Morgan was used to dealing with fighting magic users and more supernatural threats. I know that Kincaid is technically a supernatural threat but he fights with mostly mortal tactics and weapons. Regardless I think it would be a fun scenario to see played out.

The problem with that match up is prep time. No prep time, Morgan takes it. Prep time, Kincaid. Morgan's job is to enforce the laws of magic, which does put him up against many nasties. However, Kincaid's job is to kill people in thorough, clandestine ways. He'd set Morgan up for one of the shots he described to Dresden.

Even though we stipulated that the earth facsimile is undergoing a Halloween equivalent, would Shagnasty be able to be killed? I'm not entirely clear on what he is. Skinwalker/Naagloshi, yeah, but to what is that an equivalent in terms of mortality? Immortal? Demigod? Minor god?

Shagnasty, the specific one we met, was one of the "Real" Skinwalkers (per Bob) and is an actual "Need Halloween or equivalent to Kill permanently" immortal, albeit "one of the Least" of them, by Alfred's reckoning.

Yeah, Bob was pretty clear that the Halloween conjunction applies to 'all of them' immortals.

Thanks for the clarification. Shagnasty vs Coin-powered Genoskwa sounds good. I'd also like to see one of them take on Macfinn. Will start planning...
