ooc: So... Should I roll for a fumble on that nat 1?  Or a crit for the nat 20?  Do they cancel each other out? I rolled the 1 while thinking "these expensive dice may not roll well all the time (ie: loaded in my favour) but I paid for them so I better use them", and then saw the 1. Then I rolled the dice and they were like "Just kidding! 20!"

Also:  Poison! Every time, poison gets me! I'm going to have a half-dozen characters show up at once next time, so we don't have to pretend it's a too-scattered search party.

Also: My impression is that our sleeping Sol is welcome to start posting whenever. I welcome Sol's posting. Because Sol (and his player) are the best ever... certainly doing better than I am this time round.  Maybe another holy handgrenade of antioch?

Creatures roll a 5, and winning the initiative, they continue their awful snipping with those razor mouth pincers!

The first one continues gnawing through the studded leather down below but doesn't quite get through the tough hide.
Having gotten a taste of the barbarian's wild blood, the second one moves around Kondor's torso to get in a better position for a rear neck attack.

d6: 1!  so that's +2 damage. 12 damage that time.

round 3:  
init d6: 2
d20: 17+3: 20!
d10: 9+3: 12!

Kondor add +50XP +bonus.

Sol rubs the sleep from his eyes.
Kondor is heaving and bleeding from the neck.

Sol, welcome back and roll new HP for levelling up!

"*huff* *huff* *huff*" Kondor pants.  He then sits down, lifts his leg to his mouth and sucks the poison from his thigh, spits, then does it again.

ooc: Barbarian special ability, yeah!

When finished, he rubs the Jackalope's paw over his wounds to cure them.

Unfortunately, the centipede on Kondor's leg, never got through the leather, 'twas the one at his neck that drew first blood.

Would Sol care to do the honors?  Or Jackalope application only?

Sol draws at the barbarian's neck for a several moments, then spits the hot red blood onto the stone floor in a splat. 

Sol roll d12.

d12: 5

Kondor gives him specific advice for drawing the poison out.

When finished he a) shows Sol the leather socks(?), and (b) shows him the healing powers of the jackalope paw by rubbing it over his wounds.
“Emral showed me that it can provide minor healing each day. It has never run out yet.”

Then Kondor looks into the final hole, now that the murderous centipedes are dead.

Sol watches in awe as the paw seals the ragged torn flesh whole.
Kondor add 2 HP.
Kondor holds out the leather socks, eager to peer inside the last hole.

Kondor places the leather socks on the floor near Sol and lights another paper torch.
The bottom of the hole is filled with matted down twigs and straw.
