Rinzler lingers back, allowing the user a headstart before he begins his own slow circling among the rocks. The better vantage of the ridge is tempting, but there are too many crevices among the lower spaces to rule out the possibility of hidden threats. And without scans, no way to check except a visual examination.
He's nearly finished his half when the scuffle of motion—of a fight—breaks out. The exploratory arc aborts abruptly, two steps up the side of the outcropping on a straight path for the user. He recognizes the threat lunging from the shadows—and appreciates the demonstration of the user's tool. Direct and effective, stick buried through her target's head.
But the threat hasn't stopped moving.
Rinzler's sprint coils and kicks off as red-orange disks split in his hands. There's a neat twist of red on black, body inverting midair, before his feet connect with the middle of the creature's spine. Paired weapons cross on either side of its neck, and when the creature hits the ground, it does so in two parts.
