So if a mole starts with 20 hp, and a bunch of moles really valiantly 
beat em down to 1 hp, but then e heals emself for 1, the mole who 
strikes the final 2 hp worth of killing blow gets all the exp?

Also, it doesn't make sense to me that if I were to wander over, hit bd 
for one, then run away, and then one of the other moles killed em two 
nweeks later, I'd get exp if e hadn't healed emself since I hit em.
(Hmmm... when I use a lot of spivak pronouns, I keep trying to cut the 
'h's of of other words. I had to fight pretty hard to keep from 
writing, "I'd get exp if e adn't ealed emself since I it em.")
