Gaia Appears

Merlin accepted the quest.

Of course, he already knew how to skin animals, but he didn't know what would happen if he decided to mess with the quest, so he just followed along.

"Please grab one of the skinning knives from the shelf behind you." Tuli instructed, "And you may wash your hands in the basin behind you"

Merlin did as he was instructed, washing his hands before picking out a skinning knife that felt comfortable in his hands. He then began following all of Tuli's instructions.

"Start by turning the beast onto its back." Tuli began running through the steps of skinning an animal. They ran through a couple basic steps before getting to the main step. "The next step is to split the hide. Cut from the lower jaw all the way to the animal's rear. Be careful to make the cut shallow or you'll pierce a few organs."
