[QUOTE="Ferret, post: 1522009, member: 4052"] This is a [I]bit[/I] gorey even though there are no pictures, if you dislike that kind of stuff I wouldn't read this. Skinner [i]”What ever beast ye be stay back!” What ever beast it was, it paid no head to the farmers call; it approached neither gaining nor loosing speed. When it reached the farmer it; as the creature seemed to inhuman to be a he or she, drew back the cowl and sunk it’s teeth into the farmers face. The farmer didn’t struggle, he just gazed, blank eyed at the pallid skin and rotting sewing marks on the skin. The creature reeled back as a plank of wood slammed into the creatures head, pulling half of the farmers face off. The creature dropped the now limp body, and grabbed the new assailant by his neck, and hissed “Ruined!” in a low and heartless whisper, “Wait…Yes, yes! Younger too.” It quickly knocked the poor farm boy down and making sure the child was at least out cold, began the process of peeling the skin of the youth and sewing it onto his own body, overlapping the sewing on it’s body.[/i] Why ever the skinners came into a existence, is unknown; but not many could stoop so low as to use the skins of others in there foul rituals, and the idea that it was a Thayan cult may have some ground. If it is true though, they have branched out; from the spine of the world where skins keep fresh longer, to the savannah of Shaar where they wear the skins of lions.
