Now that Han was down to the last ‘solution’ that she could officially make as a Pharmacist (at least until new recipes were released by the system) she decided to get this one out of the way; and saw that the Anti-Poison Poultice was something reminiscent of the Burn Cream, only with some differences. The first thing was that all of the ingredients that were to be used were dry; meaning she wouldn’t be able to mix them together with any form of liquid; however this one meant that she would have to make this as… naturally loose as possible; side-effect aside. She also noted that ingesting the ‘poultice’ would only make things worse, so how was she going to go about getting all of this done without having to pound everything into a powder? She then consulted the official recipe and saw that she would have to leave the two Herbs out in the sun; wondering why this was even needed, she then looked further down the line and saw that everything would eventually be crushed and mixed together and then placed in a receptacle similar to the one used for the Burn Cream solution. This is one strange recipe… she thought to herself, scratching her chin as she examined the list; before picking up the two Herbs and then heading out toward the ‘window’ that was closest to what she needed. Seeing that she needed to go outside to actually get this done, she decided to bring along the mortar and pestle; along with the recipe and the Impure Tablet needed, along with the chopping board and its accompanying knife. Sometimes, the best way to do all of this is to do it outside… she thought as she strode out of the work space; grabbing a piece of newspaper at the last second so that she could lay the Herbs down without them getting contaminated by the dust and grit of the sidewalk. She was also secretly thankful that the streets were deserted today; seeing as most of everyone was out in Sarum or wherever else they could go to escape the unnatural heat. “First, lay out the herbs and then just… leave it there?” she said to herself, shrugging all the while she was following the steps. She then laid out the crumpled newspaper as flat as she could manage, and left the two Herbs there, making a mental note to turn them over after half an hour had passed.

While Han waiting for the thirty minutes to pass, she then began setting up her ‘makeshift work space’ by going in and out of the door, bringing back more newspaper to use as ‘flooring’ while she was working outdoors. She then began spreading the newspaper as flat as she could, before weighing it down with the chopping board; the mortar and pestle; as well as the container that she was going to use in order to be able to package the product and have it on-hand if in case she encountered the nasty ‘Poison’ debuff in the future. Wondering if it was possible to get her hands on a watch, she then looked around and saw that there was nobody passing by; so she decided to take this chance to take a short nap in order to recover the spent energy she’d already used up for the day, making all those potions that she’d created within the span of a few hours. Ugh… unable to process… need sleep… she thought, sitting herself down outside the door, next to her ‘work space’ and then leaning against the door frame, letting her tiredness overtake her in order to pass the required thirty-or-so minutes so that she could let the herbs bask properly. Sometime later… Han then jolted awake with a start; wondering how long it had been, she then sleepily pulled herself upward and then dragged herself over to where the Herbs were basking in the sun. She then picked one of them up and turned it over; and then noticed that the coloration had definitely changed; something that the recipe had said should the thirty minutes basking be successful. She then flipped the other Herb over as well and then picked up the Tablet, and twirled it around and around in her hands; before dumping it into the mortar and picking up the pestle to pound it into as fine a powder as she could manage, what with her sleepy-headedness still threatening to take her under again. Only when she felt a sharp stab of pain did she fully wake up; for the pestle had accidentally mashed one of her fingers; and the flesh on it was starting to throb and turn an ugly shade of purple. “Crap,” she hissed, sucking on her thumb in order to make the swelling stop; before continuing with the pounding process; albeit it looked extremely clumsy because she was doing it with her left hand instead of her right. “Ugh, annoying…” she continued, hissing as she clumsily pounded the remaining portion of the Tablet into a powder.

Now that Han had managed to grind the Tablet into a powder (although it took her quite some time to actually complete the process) she noticed that the Herbs had already changed color as well; so she quickly snatched those up and then slapped the two herbs on the chopping board. “I’m not even sorry,” she said, picking up the knife and beginning to massacre the two Herbs that she’d placed one atop the other; and she heard the crispy sound of fiber separating from fiber; and continued to chop up the two herbs in a rough manner. Well, it did say to chop them up in a rough manner and then mix them together in the mortar then transfer to container and then poof, finished… she thought to herself as she continued to bring the knife down on the two unsuspecting herbs. She then continued to chop through the herbs until it came to a point wherein the herbs were now in manageable pieces; before she realized what kind of poultice she was making… “What is this, a sand-pack version?!” she said to herself out loud shaking her head before continuing to pick up the chopping board and sliding the knife across the surface; watching as the shreds poured into the bowl. Now she had to mix them together by hand; and that she was fine with. She then placed the chopping board down to one side and then began using her right hand to mesh the two powders together in order to make sure that they would work. But… how is this going to stick?! Just… apply to hurting area and let it work? Strange… she thought as she continued mixing everything together; before watching the herbs actually changing color due to their contact with the Tablet. After a few minutes of manual hand-mixing, she then picked up the container and gently tapped the bowl over it, making sure that the contents fell into said container before making sure that nothing else was remaining. She then breathed a sigh of relief; she was now officially done with all the known solutions that were existing in the server! She then reached for the cover and screwed it on top of the dry solution; and then began whisking everything back inside; glad that the ‘marathon’ was now officially over and done with. “Finally I can take a long nap…” she muttered to herself, shaking the knife and chopping board out before closing the door behind her.
