[Sat Feb 21 16:02:01 2004] Tonlyei Lyhin says 'Greetings,. I hope this day finds you well. For us, as for many aboard, things are hectic. There are many people in need of new clothing or armor among the Wayfarers, and it is our pleasure to provide them. There are other tasks that we would like to attend to. I have received several samples of skin from the Muramites, and I believe that it can be used in many interesting applications. I would like to work with it if only I had [time].'

[Sat Feb 21 16:02:18 2004] Tonlyei Lyhin says 'Time is precious for me. I wonder, would you be able to aid me by tackling some of my [chores] while I spend some time working with the [Muramite etched scales]?'

[Sat Feb 21 16:02:28 2004] Tonlyei Lyhin says 'Very well then. I appreciate your assistance. I have long suspected that certain Wayfarers have been selling their clothing for drink and that is why they need replacements so frequently. Regardless of the reason, there are several simple items that I need to keep in abundant supply. If you can find the time to help us keep up with those supplies, I would be willing to teach you the method we have discovered for making useful leather out of the scales of those Muramites. There will be a lot of work for you as I won't be handing out this secret easily, but if you think the reward is worth the effort, then let's begin by having you make some simple belts for us. These are not complicated, nor are they meant to last, as there seems to be no point in making durable items for these scallywags. Just take a yard of this cloth and a pattern and place them into your sewing kit and combine them. Please return the belts to me as quickly as you can.'

[Sat Feb 21 16:22:17 2004] Tonlyei Lyhin says 'As horrific as it seems, the creatures that have invaded Taelosia are part beast and part men, or so I'm told. They appear to have intellect and many functions like men, but their physiology is very different from ours in many ways. For me, the most interesting thing is that they wear the scales of another creature as armor. It seems that those that have armor, make it from the scales of the same creature. These scales are as tough as any animal, and treated and tanned properly we can make it into a very durable and supple material. I know the secret for preparing those scales. I'd be happy to prepare any Muramite Etched Scales you can bring me. The stuff is very strange, and it is difficult to get large usable pieces, but I'll give you the majority of what I can cull from it. I'll also keep a bit of it for myself as payment for the work.'
