— Araj Oblodra on Crimson Draughts

Overview

Crimson Draughts' is an apothecary, owned and run by Araj Oblodra, before she travelled to Moonrise Towers to assist in the Absolute's efforts. It can be found directly south of Bloomridge Park and east of The Blushing Mermaid.

If Araj is given blood during Act Two, she can be encountered here at her store experimenting which results in an explosion, setting her on fire and forcing her to evacuate. If talking with Araj, then, she offers the player character a new formula to drink, which grants the permanent passive feature  Unstable Blood. If the player donates blood a second time after Araj asks, she gives them a Sanguine Explosive. The player character can then donate once per long rest and Araj stocks two explosives in her store.

Afterwards Araj can be traded with.

If Araj was not given blood during Act Two, Crimson Draughts is abandoned.

Sanguine Laboratory

The upper floor has a key to the basement lab, and the lower floor has a workbench with some alchemical ingredients.

Through a locked hatch on the lower-level is Araj Oblodra's laboratory, holding the unlucky remnants of her research for restoring House Oblodra.

The northern room is a small makeshift cell, containing a dead giant spider and three skeletons.

To the east is the laboratory proper. A trip-wire is hidden just in front of the door, which sets off two gas pits. Inside are several piles of gore, butchered remains, and the festering corpse of a Spectator. Her lab is also still well-stocked with alchemical ingredients, and a mind flayer parasite can be found on the stone slab directly in front of the entrance.
