						 I am not sure about this because it has only happened to me on a few of the NPCs in the game.  I am sure its not a failure of the skill check because i can look at other things or NPCs and not leave hide.

 l dwarf 
 You step out of the shadows.
 This small man seems to be robustly built despite his diminutive stature.
 From head to toe he is draped in a thick and dark velvet like material as
 well as a few silver trinkets.  A dark grey pallor covers the parts of his
 body that aren't covered and even seems to spread into his scalp and facial
 hair.  From the looks of this man, he appears to have spent a great deal of
 time below ground.  
 Overall, a dwarven acolyte is in excellent condition.

 l horse
 You step out of the shadows.
 The fur of this black horse is shiny and well-groomed.  Its sleek form
 bristles with power and energy, and it is obvious that this steed was bred
 for battle.  Its stance is beautiful and its attention is focused highly on
 all that surrounds it.  
 Overall, a large, black horse is in excellent condition.

 You walk south.
 
 A battered and blighted road covered in muck
   This once somewhat useful path has now become more trouble than it was
 ever worth; the holes in the cobblestone allowing stagnant swamp water to
 permeate through the dirt.  It looks as if any step upon the sludge could
 cause the valiant stones hanging on for cohesion to finally give way to the
 sands of time.  The decaying plant life mixed with soupy mud upon a steep
 downward slope make this a dangerous terrain to be walking on.   
    It's partly cloudy, very hot, and breezy.  
 Obvious exits: n s
      One lonely copper coin is here.
      A few silver coins are here.
 A stumpy male halfling is here, covered in fern debris.
 A large, black horse walks in from the north.

 l stumpy
 Before you is a small man standing a bit over four feet tall.  Covered in
 plant matter and bundles of cypress branchs, he looks quite out of place in
 a stone enviroment.  With the size of his appendeges looking peculiarly
 small compared to the rest of his body this wee person would easily be
 described as stumpy.  
 Overall, a stumpy male halfling is in excellent condition.
