Rena glared at her friend who was hurt for the second time in one day. There were bruises all over his body, most of which were concentrated on his arms and chest. Blood flowed freely from one of his nostrils and both of his ears. On top of that, his machete was broken in half and lay in pieces next to the Quillow Beast's corpse.
Lethen and Paul worked together to work on skinning the hide and breaking down the body. The quest was specifically for the spines and hide from the monster. Thankfully the one they attacked was the only one that had not used them to attack, so they would receive a larger sum for the additional spines that were collected.
It was a time-consuming process to break down because you had to remove every single quill before skinning the body, otherwise even more damage would occur. They already had to contend with the slashes and attacks on the underbelly, neck, and face, so if they could avoid destroying more of the pelt, it would work out in their favor.
