Thick Skin

---

After a long struggle - likely as strenuous as killing the beast that wore it – you were able to remove this particular patch of hide from the felled creature. Testing it with your bare hands, the uncured leather is barely flexible, and resists piercing with mere tanning tools. Upon closer inspection, it appears that the hide is actually composed of two distinct layers, fused together almost hermetically. A skilled tanner might be interested in examining it further.

My, what a tough, thick hide you have there. May I take a closer look? Hmm, how very interesting, and the possible applications! Maybe if cut into strips... No, that won't do, how about... Oh, sorry, I got caught up in my own thoughts. Here, allow me to trade you these for it.
