The Dictum Mortuum proscribes contact with the quick no matter how important the situation, unless you're Hierarchy Brass (and you've got a notoriously
limited view of what's important). Few actions violate this edict as flagrantly as Skinriding, but sometimes you do what you've got to do. You only hope
that you're not already too late. This scenario is intended for mature, experienced roleplayers. GM Lowell Carson.
