Asteria successfully eliminated the Scout, though the sense that she’d interrupted its connection with what she assumed was a connection to its colony, possibly a direct one to the Queen. Hopefully, the other side didn’t find anything odd about the network having been disrupted. Seeing as these three Myrminor had followed the trail left behind by their dead companion, it was quite likely more would come regardless of her telepathic attack however, so worrying about the latter was pointless. Instead, Asteria attempted dislodging the stinger from the Scout’s neck, though if it took to long, she’d leave it be for now.
 
Then, she hurried to the felled Mother rat, inspecting her injuries. They were bad, and worse, she was poisoned. For a start, Asteria grabbed one of the healing herbs the trio still had, tore it in half – because she didn’t want the poisoned wound closing; that’s where she’d apply the Antidotal Salve once she made it – and enticed Mother rat to eat the half, holding it to her snout, urging her on with a mix of chitters and squeals. Briefly establishing a telepathing contact with her, Asteria sent along a soothing, calming sensation, though it was laced heavily with her concern for the other’s well-being.

After Mother rat ate the healing herb, Asteria glanced at the fight and judged Ed had it in hand for now, though that whole berserking deal he had going on was obviously risky in more ways than one. If she had the opportunity, she’d hit the Worker with a telepathic attack, but helping MR was the priority. In any case, she trusted Ed would win, but even so, he’d end up as another of her patients. In preparation for that, and also to help the still poisoned Mother rat. She swiftly surveyed the plan, then used her full speed to dart from plant to plant, collecting the necessary ingredients, picking up a bunch of Bugward, Kilm, and Nullven plants. She took the nearest ones and stacked them in a pile next to her Indented rock.

Asteria then fervently mashed the ingredients together with a Rough Stone to create the Antidotal salve, working her little paws of as swiftly, but accurately, as she managed. She didn’t worry about a container for now; as soon as the first batch of the Antidotal Salve was made, she applied it to Mother rat’s flank. She used the newly ranked up Mana sense on the Salve, then attempting to match her own mana to its natural healing mana, actively directed part of her mana to flow into Mother rat’s injury. Whether this succeeded or not, she would proceed to make another batch of Antidotal salve for Ed, simply leaving it on the rock for now. However, she kept an eye out on the fight, and if it seemed at any point that the worker had advantage, she’d dart over there to attack it telepathically and chip in.
