Impressed that the halfling actually seems interested in learning something, he stops and makes a point of showing him how to go about doing it...Stonjuz wrote: "I've never figured out what to do with the paws.", he says loudly over the waterfalls crash.
"Personally, I never bother with them. I always make a cut here, about an inch above the knee, around the whole leg. I follow that with a cut up the inside of the thigh all the way to the middle, where it meets up with the main cut up the belly. Do that on all four legs. Then, when you're peeling the pelt off the carcass, you just leave the fur on the lower half of the legs. It's only a few inches of thin fur, anyway, not much use to anyone."
After he uses the arrowhead he'd recently retrieved to scrap any remaining flesh from the inside of the hide, he washes up in the stream and rolls the hide, tying it to his pack. He'll have to remember to make a hide stretcher when he camps for the night to properly truss it up.
With that taken care of, he turns his attention to the area where the wolf was chained. He starts looking to see if there is a path leading behind the waterfall or... otherwise determining what the wolf might have been hiding.
"Where did the goblins come from when you men approached? From behind the waterfall? Or somewhere else?"
OOC: Just to keep up with things, Mr. DM, can I get a quick note on what Gwillt found when rummaging through the goblins' possessions? Also, is skinning the wolf OK? Want any kind of roll for that?
