To answer briefly -- you can roll up villains or use any of the sample villains provided in the book. You're not limited to "arena style combat" -- there are adventure hooks for each villain, as well as a sample adventure provided in the book, and Adamant will be releasing PDF adventures (starting next week) as well.

Would we just roll up characters the same way the players would? Sounds a lot like arena style combat. Which is cool but I am trying to decide how much work I would need to do in order to stitch up a quick game. What I have not heard or read about is how does the GM create and stage the fights?
