Greetings Sapience.
I must warn that this news post may not be suitable for people under the
age of 15, it must also advise that Citizens of the City of Shallam may
be offended by the infomation within.
If you wish to not be offended, stop reading this post. Thank you.
Following is The Quick and Easy tutorial about "How to skin a
Shallamese".
Please note, this method may also be applied to citizens of other
cities.
This quick tutorial will tell you all you need to know about how to
remove the skin of a Shallamese, for whatever cause you need.
Now, you must realise that, while there are many types of people in
Shallam...what am I talking about, there is only one type of person in
Shallam... the weakest point on any person is the neck. The first few
steps require a little bit of care.
1/ Take your dagger and, being careful not to cut into the muscles of
the neck, slice around the neck. Once you have gone completely around
the neck, you should slice two vertical lines into the neck on the
shoulders, to allow easy peeling later.
2/ Once you have done this, carefully fit your daegger under the skin
and slowly lift the skin from the tissue beneath. I should warn you that
this stage can get quite messy, so you may wish to have a bucket, or
river, handy.
3/ Once you have loosened around 2 inches of skin around and down the
neck, you should now slowly and carefully continue the two lines you cut
previously down, around the should, into the armpit and then along the
log.
4/ You may now carefully peel the skin from the body.
5/ Once you have done this, I would suggest you allow the skin to dry a
little, as the smell can get quite overpowering. With the now skinless
corpse, you can know do as you wish. I would suggest selling it to a
cook, after all, it does taste like chicken.
Once the skin has dried sufficiently, you may use it for all sorts of
things, from clothing, to packs, the list is endless.
My Thanks, and use this knowledge well.
