Ziir began to daub more blood onto himself, he left his claw arm alone, but replaced the drill one with a blade of bone; long sharp, and importantly, lightweight. The drill took a minute to unform, but this time he found he didn't quite mind the pain so much. Just like the good old times, he thought ruefully. A thought occurred to him as he daubed further glyphs onto his face. Maybe this was just what he needed. Bored with killing normal people? Feel like the world isn't a challenge more. Get selected for the Savage Brawl! Kill people with crazy powers! Yes when he thought of it like that this might actually be fun. The latest runes were just kicking in. He was thinner and lighter than before. His skin had formed a thick exoskeleton made of bone and sharp spines jutted from his back at odd angles. He was practically unrecognisable, except for his suit, which was now in addition to the bloodstains he accumulated constantly, ripped along the back.
He turned to the pair that had approached him and been talking amongst themselves while he transformed. He started to gesture wildly, to them to the cave, to himself and to the tall pillars, but stopped midway through the gestures feeling he had lost his audience. He turned back to the cave mouth, grabbed a boulder and scraped into it the word 'AMBUSH'. He looked at them, nodded, and threw the boulder into the lake, where it splashed loudly and showered the rocks with black water. It looked like some of it hit Calm, who wore an expression as if to say that this was just typical. Without waiting for confirmation Ziir absconded, leaping onto a nearby pillar that had been spared the earlier explosion. He leapt from pillar to pillar, gripping them tightly with his massive claw, until he spied Dr Anarchy and Hoss beneath him. He noted that they were being stealthily followed by a bunch of green slime, but filed it away under things he didn't really care about at the moment. He proceeded to shadow them silently as they made their way to the cave mouth.
