Blithe peeked out from behind her shield to see the results of her attack, not quite in time to dodge, though in time to see the vial incoming. As Blithe activated her Burst of Speed to sprint away, the vial shattered off the edge of her shield, toxic gas being released into the air.

Whether or not Blithe would get poisoned would depend on how quickly the gas spread, how far, and the mere luck of whether Blithe's surprise expressed itself in a gasp or another dead sprint step. But luck was on Blithe's side, as her instinct of "Auuugh, she's got a bomb too" provoked the reaction of "breathless sprint my way out of here".

Blithe skidded to a halt behind another tree for cover to catch her breath and reexamine Gunnaya's position, giving Gunnaya time to climb up or down and generally recover from her movement.
