But I don't have poison/fire/bleed. At best I have just poison/bleed because I haven't forged yet (and I can't afford it because Memory Blade needs it later). Poison Bleed is 80% - 62% - 45.8% - 31.22% - 18.098% - ~7% - Dead. This is 7 turns I need to survive, and Saphira will need to be around to reapply bleed. Eragon and Brom can't take the ht, and even if they could I'd probably end up burning a total of 3-4 health potions. I think it's worth a bit of extra running (a total of about 20 seconds) to have a fight where I heal a lot less and keep the tempo up.
