a) .9 for the next ten turns.
b) 9 first round + .9 for the next ten turns.

Also is there a resistance check vs the damage, and is poison damage cumulative i.e. you get hit by 2 slingers?

Poison slings automatically poisons anyone in the square, so I'll use an assassin instead.

Your assassin strikes and hits a commander of ulm. The poison dagger deals 3+10(strength)+2d6 damage vs 18(armor)+2d6. Your assassin is lucky and deals five points of dmg. The commander is poisoned.

The poison has a value of 2d6+5(poison strength)-2d6(+no armor). Lets say 9 points. Each turn the poison will cause the commander 1 point of dmg until it has caused 9 points of dmg.

If the poison value was 11 the commander would take 2 points of dmg the first turn and then take 1 each turn until all 11 points were dealt. As the commander was already damaged from the initial strike he will die after 5 turns if the commander had 12 HPs.
