Gestath | (dryly) Cool armor! | |
Me | How's it going? | |
Gestath | (dryly) Brave of you to come here. You got lost, huh? | |
Me | That's some armor you're wearing. | |
Gestath | Yeah. Hard to get. It's made of minecrawler plates. A guy named Wolf made it for me. | |
Gestath | I used to be a convict here in the colony. Gave him a couple of minecrawler plates and a few days later the thing was finished. The guy's okay. | |
Me | Where's this Wolf now? | |
Gestath | It's been a while since I've seen him. Back then he was a mercenary here in the colony. | |
Gestath | I suppose he still hangs around with the boys. | |
Me | What are you doing up here? | |
Gestath | I'm here to make money. | |
Me | Here, in the middle of nowhere? | |
Gestath | I'm a hunter. I specialize in difficult cases. | |
Gestath | Fire lizards, minecrawlers, dragon snappers... Anything nobody else will hunt. That brings in the money. | |
Me | What is there to see here? | |
Gestath | A bunch of fire lizards, orcs and I don't know what all. Haven't been farther up on the high plain. | |
Gestath | I'd advise you against trying it. The things that live up there don't sound too friendly. | |
Me | Can you gut dragons, too? | |
Gestath | (laughs) Ask me again later, when you're ready for something like that, okay? | |
Gestath | Sure. Why not? | |
Me | Teach me how to gut animals. | |
Gestath | Why not? I've got enough at the moment. | |
Gestath | What do you want to know? | |
Gestath | At the moment, I don't know what I could still teach you. | |
Gestath | You cut a fire lizard's tongue out of its mouth with one stroke of the knife, while you hold it with your other hand. | |
Gestath | You have to peel crawler plates off the beasts' backs with a sturdy knife. | |
Gestath | Mandibles are lodged rather deeply in the skull of a field raider or minecrawler. It takes some effort to pry them out. | |
Gestath | The best place to separate a dragon snapper's horn from the skull is at the top of its forehead. Use a sturdy knife. | |
Gestath | Dragon scales are really stubborn, but just when you think you can't do it, the thing comes right off the dragon's back. | |
Gestath | The best place to take blood is from its underside. Look for a soft spot and stab with a sharp knife. | |
