Araj Oblodra is a drow trader and blood-focused alchemist who can be found in Moonrise Towers and the Lower City of Baldur's Gate. Other than the items she sells, she also asks to speak with Astarion, and offers you a potion in exchange for a sample of your blood.
Speaking with Astarion
When you bring Astarion to speak with her, she asks him to bite her so that she may study the effects of vampire bites up close. She offers a Strength of the one drinking it by 2. Astarion is reluctant to do so, sensing there is something wrong with Araj's blood, but he will comply if you ask him to, no ability check required (although he does disapprove). It should be warned that this choice can end his romance if the character presses him to do so.
in exchange, which permanently increases theBlood for potions
Araj offers potions in exchange for True Soul blood. With a DC 14 Intelligence (History) check, you can determine that she wants Illithid blood rather than True Soul blood specifically, and if you reveal what you know of her intentions she'll up her offer to 200 gold along with each potion.
Each character may give blood once, taking D3 HP of damage, this includes hirelings which suggests they, too, have Illithid blood. The potion you receive depends on the race of the character giving the blood. As with standard elixirs, the effects last until a long rest, excepting the "Elixir of Half-Elven Healing" which is simply a single-use consumable. Unlike elixirs, however, the potion's effect is not replaced when you drink another elixir (game version 4.11.3669438). Using these potions inflicts the condition Blood-draw Sickness after a long rest. The tool tip reads Nothing is ever free- until the next long rest the affected entity has a -1 to all dice rolls.
Unstable Blood
You can find Araj again in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate in Act 3. As the player approaches her shop, Crimson Draughts, just east of The Blushing Mermaid, a series of explosions will begin and Araj will come running out, on fire and thrilled. She'll offer the player a potion, the newest results of her research.
This "Mysterious Potion" causes a small explosion when drunk, and imbues the consuming character with the permanent
passive feature, turning their blood into a flammable explosive.In the locked basement of her shop, you can discover the butchered remains of several less-voluntary participants in Araj's research. Her journal also reveals the true purpose of her research, to find a way to restore House Oblodra to its former glory, or failing that, to exact explosive vengeance for the fallen house.
