TR7
The bird man, still reeling from the stab to the back wobbles to the side. His hands grope over his own shoulder and around his sides, seeking awkwardly to reach to his back. With a quick grab from his right hand, the man takes a violent hold of the bird mask and in one savage motion tears it over his head and casts it down on the deck.
Ivor sees the face of a Dannein man, in utter surprise and pain. His eyes dart around in confusion and desperation. As he spins, and now with the collar rim of the exotic mask removed, Ivor can see a long and thick metal rod of some sort, plunged directly into the man's back, to the inside of his left shoulder blade. It is pierced through his clothing. The outer tip of the large metal rod has a head of some sort, a flattened iron disc, almost like the blunt head of a giant needle sticking out the man's back at a shocking angle that suggests that the tip lies deep in the cavity of his chest. Though the man reaches towards this impalement, his hands cannot get a grasp of it.
Immediately beside the steel rod, peaking out above the back collar of the man's rugged clothing, is another wound. This one is festering and old, with reddened skin all about it. At the top of the sickened skin is the end of some sort of bone-like barb that runs perpendicular on top of the man's spine. The tip of the barb erupts from the man's skin in a small nub.
The woman has backed away now towards the shed, so the unmasked warrior turns back, with a look of horror at Ivor.
Still disoriented, he looks down at his clawed hands, as if surprised to see them. He then looks back up at Ivor, and his face turns to rage.
