Cragor strode up the stairs from the ready room that had effectively been his cell for over a week, the door to the arena at the top of the stairs was already open, and the light from the entrance hurt his eyes as he hadn't seen daylight for over a week. He alternated covering one eye then the other to help his eyesight adjust to the brightness, his mind was still on the Kajaka attack last night and what had driven the creature into the city, but he needed to focus on the here and now as everything felt wrong. The door only opened when you had reached the top of the stairs normally, and there was no noise emanating from the arena which you could hear through the closed door normally.
He reached the top of the stairs and strode out into the arena, his opponent was already waiting for him, the thing that stood waiting for him was new to him ! It looked similar in form to a Revili, but a lot larger, with a strange skin tone that almost pulsated green colour throughout.
He reached the centre of the arena and faced the lords spot, there was only two Traventians there, Vallatrix and his adviser Styx the rest of the arena was empty, not even a commentator or film crew, this confirmed his suspicion that he was being made a scapegoat for the events that went on the last time he stepped into this arena, if he made it out of here alive he wanted answers to a lot of questions.
Styx stood up and spoke
" Cragor if you survive today, you will be free to leave with no repercussions for the previous events, now BEGIN ! "
He took the initiative and charged straight at the bulky creature, catching it unaware and driving his horn deep into the chest area, then with a flurry of strikes from his pugile stick, all finding there mark with no reaction from the bulk, it was almost as if it didn't know how to react.
He pressed home his advantage and attacked again, this time the bulk reacted with his attack shield and landed two hits on him while Cragor showed his prowess in the ring landing four blows pass the bulk's armour.
The bulk went to strike back but stumbled allowing Cragor to press home his advantage landing another four blows pass the bulk's armour, the bulk dropped to his knees and then fell flat on his face plate, he was done.
He had defeated this creature before any beast had even been released ! Styx addressed him
" congratulations Cragor, we don't see any point in wasting any of our precious beasts"
At this point an Etheral appeared next to Vallatrix and Styx, these strange alien creatures were rarely seen and little was known about them, but seemed to be conversing with them, perhaps be telepathy as there was no visible mouth.
After a while, Styx addressed him
"Cragor we have been alerted to the fact that you were attacked by a Kajaka last night, and you are interested in investigating why they've moved into the city, if your willing lord Vallatrix would like you to hire a team to recover the beasts that have recently been released into the wild and what effects it's having on the eco system. You will be payed for your services "
Cragor stood pondering the offer, he was already interested in what was causing the migrations, so why not get paid for it !
"I accept, but I pick the team, and you finance the whole expedition"
" Agreed !"

Nice to see one of the Bulks painted up and a sirprise with the Ethereal figure. What an unusual looking creature, with a lovely paint job. I think I'd be tempted to paint it up like a lionfish - the wings are quite reminiscent of that fish.
Just how big is the Bulk? He looks to be rather hwfty.
The Etherial was one of those models that literally happened over a couple of days, and a lot of the work was done for me as I cast it in the translucent blue, a lion fish colour scheme could look really good on the model with his shape
