Arelle Confronted about food#

"It's a bit of magic really. Pick the finest grass and throw one our signature enchantments on it."
"We do this everywhere in Luskan to our livestock."
"It's a bit like good berry."

DC15 insight => she's being a bit short with her answers, slightly uncomfortable by this line of questioning.

"Why would want animal feed? It's not intended for humans."
"Where are you taking it?"

She can be persuaded to pick up a barrel from below. Will try to make them wait outside.
"Will you please wait outside while I prepare it, it's still a bit of a secret."
Blood choke curse on most objectionable person. (But make it non-trivial to identify the source.)

If they don't leave, she'll lure them down below and she'll fight them.

Arelle fight#

Downstairs is like witch's place in divinity2 - Treated Like Cattle Quest (Divinity Original Sin 2)
Large barrels, almost like wine cellar. Multiple rats across. Large cauldron brewing and dark smoke.
Chamber just filled with blood. Improv it..

Mostly straight attacks, misty step to whomever she likes, claw + drink.
Maybe invis if she's doing too well.
Cloudkill also thematic. Make room big enough for 20ft sphere to dissappate after one round.
Call the blood: rupturing arteries on a GW.
Face peel on grappled: DC17 dex or 8d6+10 slashing

Treasure#

Wand with 5 charges of Fear

If they leave, she'll return with a fake barrel and MM one of them to make them think it's believable.
If they kill her and take the real food: they can take it to the dragon for reward.
But they'll know the food is made out of people.

Thoughts#

You sense an eerie level of contentment and interest that is unexpected from the way she is projecting herself.
Whisper: "There is a hidden part of her in which you sense a deep seething malevolence."
Immediate MM reaction to make him forget with a whisper.
If they push her away. She invises and moves into cellar. Undetected without check. They'll find her there hiding later.
