How will Belkar survive?

[ardorrean_thief]

My vote: He has a potion to heal his wounds while falling and is tough enough to survive the 20D6 damage from the fall.
...he has 11+ of ranger and at least one of barbarian but total level of 16. As a minimum: 8+14D8+D12 (+con?) vs 20D6. That is 23-132 HP vs 20-120 points of damage assuming no con bonus and not another level. Doable if he drinks that potion.

After he survives Belkar will be at the bottom, by the river. There he may befriend an animal that helps him climb up faster and rejoin the battle.

Belkar has always struck me as deceptively tanky for such a small person. I'm willing to bet he has at least 12 CON.
