Foxstar's wrath was treading dangerous territory. She was throwing her clan into a battle almost without warning to them. Yet the Priestess couldn't care less. Shule would pay, would die by her own paws to make up for that stunt she'd pulled. To accentuate her point, the she-cat was mixing up a poison. It wasn't deadly, oh no, she didn't want to kill the she-cat with this. It was a strong paralytic, strong enough to render anyone who she clawed entirely immobile for a good period of time. More than long enough to accomplish what she wanted. That wasn't to say she wasn't also thinking of mixing up deadly herbs together. She had some next to her, and was debating on how worthwhile it would be to make something up just in case. Maybe she could use it on Mars.

Littlebird watched from her side of the den that they shared, watching as Foxstar had begun to spiral. She had never seen the priestess this angry, and it didn't seem like she was thinking rationally. This war with the regime seemed like folly, Foxstar's life only have been taken as a result of her own actions. However, she would do he best to support her mentor and friend through this. "A paralytic? Big plans for the upcoming battle" she commented taking note of the herbs that she was mixing togather. Littlebird had begun learning to do the same, even if she wasn't as advanced as her mentor.

Herbs took time, and Littlebird even now was far better than she'd been with the same amount of training. Not that Foxstar would admit it, of course. "Indeed. After this, I intend on making a poison. Preparation and hidden weapons are just as valuable as good plans." Not that Foxstar's plans were necessarily great. They were good, and used a lot of information they'd garnered from Dragonswrather, but even so, they didn't have the same level of calm calculation as was usual for her. Then again, it wasn't often that someone got the drop on the Priestess, least of all some cat that wasn't even a leader.

She had to admit that she was growing rather fond of the poisons and herb mixtures that she had been learning from the Priestess. Her body wasn't exactly designed for combat, and having them on hand made her feel more secure and prepared for the battle ahead "Here, allow me to help" she stood, coming over so that she could come observe more closely. She hadn't seen this mix before, but she knew all of the ingredients. This was another chance to learn from Foxstar before the battle, another chance to expand the tools at her disposal. She wanted to question Foxstar about the upcoming battle, but not also not wanting to stir up her anger. She would have to be more subtle than outright asking her if she was sure that this is what she really wanted.

"This one is meant to be slow acting. To mimic sickness and kill over the course of a few days." She explained. "Ideally, you strike a cat, and then, regardless of whether you win or lose the battle, in the end, they will die, regardless. Hopefully unable to pinpoint the exact cause."

"That will be rather useful" she commented, paying attention to how Foxstar was mixing the herbs and what she was placing into the mixture. "What sickness does it mimic?" she asked curiously. the possibilities were endless. Perhaps it would start with a simple bellyached and progress to vomiting and dying of dehydration.. Or perhaps it would start as a headache, leading to seizures and eventual death. One thing that she had learned is that there were many ways to kill others, and carefully selecting your method allowed for much versatility.
"No particular illness. There's no cough, at least, like many of ours have. It does spur on a fever, slowly sapping the cat's strength, leaving them tired, and generally unwell, until it takes a turn for the worse as their body shuts down. At this concentration, herbs to treat the symptoms will have minimal, if any, effect, and even if they do seem to halt the symptoms, it can't stop the damage being done to the body while they scramble to find a cure." She answered. Truth be told, there were likely a few symptoms she would find out after the fact. With mixtures such as these, she couldn't quite be sure of what the failure of certain organs would cause, or how the plants would meld with specific amounts. This was a test, of sorts, taking what she knew to make something entirely new. It would work, but whether it was more or less obvious than she hoped it to be was another matter entirely. "Even a scratch, so long as you're able to get the poison in the bloodstream, should be more than enough."

"I suppose those symptoms are general enough to keep the enemies medicine cat guessing, until it's to late to stop the damage" the idea was rather clever. It was subtle enough that most cat's wouldn't even suspect a poison until the cat was to far gone to be helped.It also wouldn't take much damage to infect those that you wished dead. It could even be administered to those that you were trying to 'help' without much suspicion.

"That's the idea. Waste their herbs treating symptoms of a disease that appears resistant to what they have. En masse, and this could cause quite the stir. Mimic a plague that can't be treated at a fraction of the cost compared to what they'll use in herbs or energy to try and treat it. We're not causing a plague this time though. I'm only making enough for a dose or two in case of emergencies." Or rather, if she got the chance to attack Shule, this would be her go to method. But it would work just as well in a pinch if needed.

She nodded in agreement "What if it is ingested? Would it have a similar effect?" if it could be ingested it would be easy enough to infect a large group of cats. It would be put into a water or food supply and spread rather quickly. She kne wthat she had a lot of questions, but she wanted to learn more about this sort of thing. There was no telling when this information might mean the difference between life and death.

"Yes, though it would take longer to work, and would be rendered useless by the use of yarrow. By injecting it into the bloodstream directly, yarrow isn't a problem anymore. It helps to disguise that it is poison, but at the detriment of needing to be at close quarters to be administered. Each way would be useful for different things. In a battle, the bloodstream is superior, when you can't get close, ingestion would be best, because it's easier to continually poison a cat through their food or water than in a hit. And you could slowly increase the dosage of the poison over time via ingestion with less suspicion than pricking someone with a claw constantly." Foxstar didn't mind the questions, especially where poisons were concerned. They were her favorite part of all medical knowledge, greatly useful for her purposes, no matter what they were, and she enjoyed that Littlebird seemed curious about it as well.
