So Khalid just got chunked

In the Narcillicus encounter east of Nashkel mines.
I questioned Narcillicus' sanity, at which point he fled leaving 4 green slimes behind.
The slimes' attacks seemed to do minor physical damage + 1 poison damage every other second.
Khalid got hit once. Lost 3-4 hps, then 1 poison damage, then another one, and then... chunked!
Without any notice whatsoever. So I looked for more info about green slimes and found that:
I had never known about that.
No-reloads are so much fun.

The poison does one point of damage per second but does not need to drain the health of the target to kill them. Each time the target takes damage they stand a chance of dying (Save vs Death.) When someone is poisoned by a green slime there is no effect icon on their portrait but the character's sprite will turn green. This can be checked for best in the inventory screen.

No-Reload runs are incredible fun.
I've always wanted to play a no reload game, allowing NPCs to permanently die, but I've never had the guts to follow through with it. It would make the adventure much more epic.
Incidentally, IIRC green slime hit forces a save vs death at +2 ot avoid getting 'slimed' once slimed, the character is gone forever. And the slime gives only 65 xp or such.
Precisely!
Charname is a Druid striving to have a balanced party.
So I need a good-leaning fighter to replace Khalid. Problem is, Minsc comes with Dynaheir, and that would be too much "unbalanced" energy.
Ajantis the knight in shining armor is over the top too.
So I'll take Kivan along next time I have a valid reason to go to High Hedge. He's "kind of good but not too much" and he does understand the forest. I have never ever taken Kivan in my party, so I'm quite excited about it!
Take literally any other Warrior.
Khalid was my best fighter because his hp rolls had been the best. It is a loss to my party.
but of coarse im a power gamer so I must gather as much XP as possible
And I'm a druid, so I blamed Narcillicus for being irresponsible.
Funny enough, I actually use that portrait for Khalid instead of his default one - it may be "wretched," but it suits Khalid's sniveling personality much better than his heroic-looking default portrait IMO.
In my last run I planned to have Cavalier, Ajantis, Branwen and Garrick. Then when going through the cloak wood we got hit by a web (no thief), we're stuck and I watched helplessly as Branwen died. A solemn moment later, the party went on and used every potion of explosion that they had to light the local spider nest aflame in her memory.
Good thing that a certain dwarf was nearby to take her place
The only chance you get to survive a green slime is on the first save vs death on the first hit (it's at +3 or +4 though so you gotta be real unlucky). They got awful thaco so it's only really about critical hits.
If you fail, it's already over. The insta-chunk is hardcoded and set on a timer. There's nothing to do about it. After a couple seconds it triggers.
Kind of comical one of the lowest tier garbage has one of the most dangerous attacks in the entire game
