She then attributes it to mere curiosity. However, if character passes a {{Ability check|History|14}} (or is drow), 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 offers to pay 200 gold for each blood donation (including the current one) alongside the normal elixir.

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 where she cannot risk losing a unique specimen like the player character, and now has no choice but to observe their evolution from afar. She then runs to disappear from Moonrise Towers (and the rest of [[Act Two]]).
