[QUOTE="Phoenix8008, post: 3744176, member: 211"] With a flurry of precise motion, Xir instructs all party members to sit down in a circle facing each other, quickly! Following his urgent instruction, the party sits as he relates some desert knowledge of poisons and stings in a few curt sentances. With the aid of Eleria and Abdul, the party helps each other to make slight 'X' shaped cuts over the wounds and do their best to suck out any poison that they can and spit it out onto the webbed surfaces around them. Abdul is starting to feel the poison deaden his limbs until Xir matter of factly scratches an 'X' on his belly where he had taken the bite from the centipede. [COLOR=Sienna]"Healed over, more difficult. Hold still."[/COLOR] Xir extracts what he can of the poison and it seems to work as Abdul starts to feel better, or at least no worse. Eleria had taken two bites and was starting to feel the effects of one of them. Finishing with Abdul, Xir moved over to her scratching over her arm wound and telling her to extract the poison herself while he bent over and without shyness, covered the wound on her thigh with his mouth. Sucking out the poison and spitting it out, he cleansed her wound as best as he could. After a few seconds of that, Xir turned quickly to Elthic who waved him away and shook his head. [COLOR=Brown]"No thanks, I'm feelin' fine. Thanks anyway..."[/COLOR] Having rushed around helping everyone else, Xir stands still long enough to finally feel that his own muscles are starting to go numb. Wavering on his feet, he slips to one knee. Seeing him stagger, Abdul and Eleria both rush over and return his favor. Abdul uses his dagger to cut a line across the arm wound before Eleria raises the arm to her lips and does her best to remove the poison. Her best is appearently good enough as Xir starts to feel some of the strength return to his limb.
