Upon first speaking with Araj (and if Astarion is not in the party) she can be asked about her intentions with keeping the rest of the blood donation. She then attributes it to mere curiosity. However, if the character passes a {{Ability check|History|14}}, knowledge of {{FRWiki|House Oblodra}} allows them to realise Araj does not merely want True Soul blood, but [[Illithid]] blood specifically – an illicit subject for drow to research. If this insight is shared with Araj, she pays 200 gold for each blood donation (including the current one) alongside the normal elixir. If Astarion is in the party upon first meeting, the History check may not be made and, by extension, Araj may not additionally offer gold in exchange for blood.

If responding to her offer with ''Keep it, your gold. I prefer to know what the sect does to non-believers.'', she refuses, saying that she has a project, which she cannot risk losing a unique specimen like the player character and that she has no choice but to observe the evolution of the player character from afar. Then she will turn invisible and run to disappear from Moonrise Towers and Act 2.

Araj deeply wishes to speak with {{CharLink|Astarion}}. If he is left at camp, or is far enough away from the party during her first interaction, she will politely ask that the vampire spawn be brought next.

When Araj does speak with Astarion, she will excitedly ask that he bite her, so she may study the effects of vampire bites up close. She will offer the priceless {{SmRarityItem|Potion of Everlasting Vigour}} in exchange, which permanently increases the [[Strength]] of the one drinking it by 2.

Astarion will be loath to do so and if asked, will privately note to the player character that there is something deeply wrong with Araj's blood.

If the player character's approval with Astarion is high enough (in some conversation options where he is presented with a choice in the matter) or if he is told to do so anyway - despite his objections, Astarion will go through with Araj's desires. However, he will literally retch after doing so and feel used, resulting in [[Astarion/approval#Act_Two_2|-3 disapproval]] and a camp scene which may impact a [[Astarion/Romance|romance between him]] and the player character, if one exists.

There are no other consequences of Astarion obliging the request, despite how foul Araj's blood seems to be.
