Rather ssssneaky of them to use a poison bolt, quite a croc that they would be so dishonorable. Hopefully once the order of the stick beats them they won't be saur losers.
I don't know. 1 hp and standing for the most part leaves you better off than full hp but paralyzed in D&D. Of course, I'm assuming Haley has a spare bow. Even if she doesn't, any weapon still adds sneak attack, so she's not useless yet.
EDIT: Is the space-less Elan text buble Rich's way of demonstrating the effect of the -10 for rushed diplomacy?
