What it does
Syntax: skin <corpse>
Skin strips the usable hide off a corpse lying in the room. You
have to be wielding something with an edge or a point, such as a
blade, a spear or an axe, since a hide cannot be taken off with a
club, and not every corpse carries a hide worth having. The work
takes a little while and can be interrupted partway through. A
botched job leaves you holding nothing but shreds, and either way a
corpse gives up its hide only once.
