“I have a bet going with Xanjo over what leather is de best for armor in regards to resisting piercing and slashing attacks.
He says scales are the best, but I have something better in mind.

Bring me de carapace of a bittertide makrura, and I will teach you how to harvest bones more effectively from creatures you're skinning.”
