Well, now that would just be the obvious and easy thing, wouldn't it?
Thanks for letting me know. I can get tunnel vision sometimes; it never occured to me to check with the RG. I did finally find that piece of paper last night, but it took me a bit of looking. I've since created an electronic copy of XP on my new computer up on the main level of this new house, so hopefully this won't crop up again.

Thanks for letting us know. I prefer if players post even when the temptation is to fade into the background; this game is a lot more fun for everyone if everyone regularly participates.

No worries, you can even make that work for you. Lewit is somewhat of an oddball, and having him say something totally irrelevant to the current conversation wouldn't be far off the mark for the character.
Glad to hear you're out of the hospital.

I fall into the same thing, BRP. Even if you don't have much to add, you can always pop into the this thread to let us know you are around. I do enjoy Lewit's posts, though, so the more of those the better as far as I'm concerned.

Warning: Explicit demon butchering content below.
CB, it's my intention to have Maelicent return to the stables behind the cockatrice to finish butchering the two large wolf-spider carcasses he's got stashed there. He'll likely set himself up in an empty stall and work on one carcass at a time; doing his best to suspend it from the rafters by means of whatever rope or tack he can find to better allow the fluids to drain as he works. If that's not feasible he'll prop them up against the back wall as best he can. He'll use his axe to hack through the tough joints and his knives to carefully cut and pry off the chitinous leg segments and body plates. The wolf heads seem mammalian so I'm guessing that they're large fur covered canine skulls. Mael will do his best to strip off the usable fur pelt sections and in turn detach the bare wolf skulls from the bodies for later cleaning. Then depending on what the wolf-spiders' internal arrangements are the goblin will try to salvage what seems usable; likely cutting and pulling out the tendons to make sinew cord.
Once both carcasses are in pieces Maelicent will go ahead and start cleaning the various parts by scrapping them with his knives and possibly scouring the chitin with sand and water. The fur pelts he'll stretch and scrape clean before he rubs the oil from skulls' brain pans to soften them up. The skulls will be similarly stripped bare, scraped an scoured clean. Later all this stuff will be set to dry in the sun, possibly on the roof of the stables. The skulls will likely require some boiling in water to get all the fleshy bits off. All of the of the left-over gristle, muscle et al will be dumped into an empty troth for later disposal into a midden pile.
I don't know if it'll all work out as planned, but that's what he'll be doing for the next little while. I believe his survival skill is good enough to butcher and dress carcasses. Later he'll likely try touring the local crafstmen, apothecaries, armorers and bowyers around town to try and sell it.
Also, while he's working on them, Maelicent will be examining the bodies to familiarize himself with their anatomy; in particular their weak and vulnerable spots. I figure that he'll eventually be able to take evil outsiders as a favored enemy if he studies them long enough.

That all sounds like a grand and well-thought-out plan. Let me provide a bit of further detail that will aid you in prepping all of this. It was late afternoon when the party started off at the Golden Cockatrice. After trekking west into and through the heart of the warehouse district, then following Rancid over to the Rivermark, then walking back across the city to the Copper Coin to speak with Arquesta, and then humping it all the way across town to the Aest Bar to pick up Gamad at the Sniffling Pig, it's now late in the day. I put the current time in Teggest at 7 pm. The sun is still up, but there are probably only two hours of daylight left. Seasonally speaking, it's the month of Revot (named after Reven, the God of Destruction, Chaos, and Fire) and the hottest part of the year in Teggest. The days are long; sunrise comes at 5:30 am, sunset at 9 pm.
Maelicent can borrow rope from Vaja and Frane, if he hasn't any. He may also lay the skins on the stable roof. Breaking down and tanning hide takes a while, though. When will Maelicent want to start on this task, and do you have a contingency plan if the adventure takes you away from the stable?
