Mattias coughs and splutters, running a hand across his face, wiping away what he sincerely hopes to be water from his face. In truth, Mattias goes it is not.
Looking up at Nadaar, he speaks, haltingly at first "Who...knew toads...could jump?" Breaking into a small smile "but at least the toad is black, right?"
“I don’t want to brag, I’m not nearly as good as I should be.” Nadarr shuffles around, clearly wanting to change the subject. ”You two, however, are excellent shots! We couldn’t have gotten the gland without you.” He looks around to congratulate Thardigord, only now noticing the dwarf’s disappearance. Soon, however, he spots both the barbarian and the kobolds. “Oh dear. It seems that our companion has found some... friends. I’d better go make sure he doesn’t get himself into trouble.” With that, Nadarr moves towards the conversation.
Mattias grips the proffered hand, hoisting himself back to his feet, "I've a healers kit in my pack, although what good that does me is questionable."
He is a little unsteady at first, but quickly finds his footing and wipes a little viscera off his person. "Umuni, when I let fly my first arrow, I had no idea you intended to take another route to our prize. I'll try to be...more discreet when the situation calls for it." With that Mattias stoops to retrieve his longbow and tries to collect his arrows from the toad.
[Thardigord] "T-Tardygord?" The kobold says looking confused. "Tall ones let us eat toad?" The kobold asks gaining a bit more confidence in the fact that you haven't just attacked him on sight.
[Tarkin] You hold the gland up in victory as Nadarr and Umuni tend to Mattias. As you are holding this gland, which weighs about 25 pounds and is about 14 inches in diameter, you begin the feel a tingle in your fingers and hands. Roll a constitution saving throw and a d100 as well, please.
[Mattias] Spending some time you manage to dig out three arrows and one bolt from the corpse of the toad; all of which look like they are still in usable condition after some cleaning.
Umuni shrugs at Mattias typical formality while talking to her.
"Nah, don't worry about it, I was just having fun. But that kinda thing is true, keeping the advantage we get from meeting them before they meet us is important, but I wouldn't assume you knew that, the course I took to learn that was kinda specific. Even though, I think you learned your lesson, right?"
She takes one of the arrows, the one she believes was hers, and walks to get closer to the interaction with the kobold, but she stops when she notices Tarkin was holding the frog's gland.
"Hey, didn't anyone tell you the poison was inside the gland? And that this poison is bad for you? You shouldn't be holding it with your bare hands..."
OOC I assume that the arrows and bolt Mattias recovered also belong to Tarkin and Umuni.
Turning back from the toad, Mattias smiles, "I've learnt to not stand in front of a toad, those things can jump! I've also learnt a great deal about our little group, my thanks Nadarr."
Mattias places two of the recovered arrows back into his quiver and hands the other to Umuni. Hearing her words to Tarkin, he turns, taking a blanket from his pack and approaches him, blanket held wide to take the poison gland.
Tarkin looks at Umuni with a bewildered look. "Um well yeah but I thought that was the whole point in getting the ingredients for the antitoxin. Plus the poison is inside the... oooooh!... " Tarkin slowly looks at his hand as the liquid oozes out of the gland, between his fingers, down his hand and drips onto the ground. "I'm going to die. Just great. I was supposed to meet up with the market girl when I got back." Tarkin places the gland into the blanket that Mattias has outstretched. "So who has the antivenom then? i kinda need that."

[Tarkin] As you hand the gland over to Mattias and are talking to Mattias and Umuni; you start to feel a tingle in your fingers and hands. The numbing sensation slowly makes its way up your arms and to your chest and spreads to the rest of your body from there. Once you feel the numbness hit your head, the world around you starts to shift and change. The sky looks like it is melting and falling to the ground in blobs of various sizes; while the ground appears to melt upwards in the same way. (It looks kind of like inside of a lava lamp.) Looking around you also notice that your companions have also turned into theses gelatinous blobs and start to slowly rise upwards. As more of this strange scenery unfolds and churns, you feel your body become lighter and lighter before you start to notice that you are floating up towards the melting blobs of sky and ground. The next thing you realize, despite the fact that the sky and ground have become floating blobs, is that you can still see chunks of solid ground below you that are getting further and further away. To you it looks like the solid ground is about 50 feet away and continuously moving away from you. (Tarkin is hallucinating and is considered incapacitated for the next 6 minutes)
[Umuni/Mattias] Once Tarkin places the gland onto the blanket that Mattias is holding, both Umuni and Mattias notice that Tarkin is reacting to the poison of the gland. By the time Tarkin asks about the antitoxin, his speech is a little slurred and his eyes get this glossy and distance look in them as he seems not to be fully aware of his surrounding any more. The blanket begins to soak up the blood and some of the poison that is leaking from a tube that is connect to the gland. The poison is this murky gray thick liquid with a honey like viscosity; and the gland is slowly deflating as the poison continues to leak out.
[Nadarr/Thardigord] Thardigord, as you are talking with this kobold, you see him tense up again and take a few steps back as Nadarr walks up behind you. Nadarr, as you approach where Thardigord is, you can only see one kobold with tattered leathers covering from his waist to his knees and a crude but functional bone dagger; and it looks more frightened than willing to fight.

“Relax, small one. I mean you no harm.” Nadarr sheathes his sword and nods to Tharigord. “We got the gland, and Mattias will be just fine. We can be ready to head out as soon as we figure out to do with the body.”
"Shoot. I think it already got to his head... I'll fix this." Umuni pulls one of the vials of antitoxin and gives for Tarkin to drink it directly to his mouth, as he is clearly in not the right conditions to take the liquid by himself.
(Hm, sorry, it was in the middle of that time I was traveling, and I can't find the log for it, but how many vials of antitoxin did Umuni managed to make, were they two, or...?)
Cradling the blanket carefully, Mattias sets it on the ground. Taking the feathered end of the bolt recovered from the body of the toad, he hooks it under the tube connected to the gland, tipping it upright to stop the leak of the poison.
"Uh, I think he took quite a dose of this stuff..."
Giving the gland a once over, Mattias tries to determine how best to stem the leak of the fluid. Especially without taking a dose of the poison himself.
His hand goes to a leather sheath hanging from his belt, drawing a simple dagger and using it to first cut a long strip of cloth from the blanket, then a second and finally cutting a large square of material. Placing the square piece to one side, Mattias takes an both ends of a long strip, edging it under the tube and loops the ends, carefully pulling them until a knot forms and tightens around the tube. Mattias then picks up the corners of the remaining blanket, and uses the other strip to secure them together, creating a small pouch for the gland.
Satisfied, he picks up the large square of material, walking over to Tarkin and Umuni. Cleaning any of the remaining fluid from his hands.
Thardigord continues to comb his beard, puzzled at the kobold's actions.
"Ye know unnamed kobold it's hard to take down a beast larger than yer size, specially if yer alone. Thardigord is curious why yer trying to hunt a Black River toad despite all the shivering and trembling yer doing right now."

Looking up at Nadaar, he speaks, haltingly at first "Who...knew toads...could jump?" Breaking into a small smile "but at least the toad is black, right?"
The bald dwarf ragingly combs his long braided beard as he replies to the kobold.
"We're only taking the toad's poisonous organ. Ye can take the rest of the jumping beast if ye want, just ask the rest if they're fine with it."
Thardigord points his thumb at his folks trying to resuscitate the unconscious Matthias.
"The name's Thardigord, what's yer name small one?"

Tarkin slashes his scimitar into the toads throat. He then reaches into the cut and digs around until he feels the gland.
"Ah there is our prize." Tarkin says as he carefully removes the gland."
