Shurkroat scoffed "Obviously it can't be me." Then pauses when he remembered that people who aren't Illumain know nothing about Illumains. He then sighed and gave a lengthy explanation about Illumains. "Well it's obvious to me why it can't be me, so I'll explain. I am an Illumain. A race once human but now of our own because of Tarmuid who created the Illumains with the Ritual of the Word Made Flesh. We are race that is the physical embodiment of a magical language. Because of this we do not react well with glyphs, sigils, symbols, or runes. If we were to use my blood I could cause the rune to stop functioning and we couldn't know for sure if that blood is the key to open the way. We would still have to go to one of the other runes and use someone else's blood to confirm. Now it doesn't have to be you we just thought you would help if we payed you."
