Someone once said that Alchemy and Cooking are life savers and they are right. If I did not have both a +4 stamina food buff (40 hp) and a minor elixir of fortitude (27 hp) I would have been dead.
Also the druid Floci had not been there I would have been dead as well.
Dropping the totems was a really bad move as the Streangth of Earth totem kept staying around for way to long and kept pulling more.
I am lucky to be alive!
