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