==Overview== | |||
===Background=== | |||
Haarlep is an incubus that can be found on Raphael's bed in the [[House of Hope]]. Sent by {{CharLink|Mephistopheles|icon=Prologue.webp}} to distract his naughty son, he serves as the devil's main sexual partner, indulging him in his fantasies. | |||
True to their devil nature, Haarlep will quickly spot any trespassers and see through any form of deception. He will quickly ascertain the situation and offer the party the information they seek, in exchange for a brief sexual encounter. If the offer is accepted, and Haarlep has his way with one party member, they will reward them. If, during the encounter, the party member resists, or the invitation is turned down outright, Haarlep will fight them instead. {{SAI|Speak with Dead}} can then be used to acquire the information that Haarlep offered. | |||
== Involvement == | |||
===Act Three=== | |||
Haarlep can be found on Raphael's bed in his boudoir. When approached, He will inquire as to what the party is doing. Any form of deception is quickly seen through, and the party must be honest or otherwise Haarlep will become irritated and start a fight. | |||
Intrigued, Haarlep will offer valuable information that will aid the party on one condition: one of them must "play" with Haarlep. If the invitation is accepted, Haarlep will command them to undress and lay on the bed. Before continuing, Haarlep will ask whether the talking party member prefer their male or female form (responding that it doesn't matter causes them to stay in the feminine form). | |||
With the party member on the bed, Haarlep then initiates sex with them. The party member can either surrender to Haarlep or resist via a {{Ability check|Wisdom|18}} or {{Ability check|Performance|18}}. Even with a success, Haarlep's charm is too much and the party member must choose: surrender or fight. If they choose the latter, Haarlep will be disappointed and commence the fight. If surrendered, Haarlep will continue to have their way with the party member and attempt to make them theirs. | |||
The party member is now presented with a final choice. They can surrender their body, but not their mind, in which case Haarlep will continue. Haarlep will then invite the party member to surrender their body one last time: if rejected, a fight ensues; if accepted, Haarlep will finish and assume the party member's form, adding their likeness to their shapeshifting repertoire. As thanks, Haarlep will provide {{SmRarityItem|Key From Raphael's Safe}}, letting the party know that Raphael's secret safe is behind the painting of himself. Haarlep will then depart, informing the party member that from then on, they will periodically be able to feel it when Haarlep sleeps with others using their likeness. | |||
Alternatively, the party member may surrender their body and soul, in which case Haarlep will consume their soul, resulting in a game over if the character was the main character. | |||
Finally, the party member may resist via a successful {{Ability check|Constitution|25}}, in which case they will throw Haarlep off them and begin a fight. | |||
If Haarlep is killed, they can be spoken to with {{SAI|Speak with Dead}}. Haarlep reveals to them that the safe containing the information they seek is in a safe behind Raphael's "vanity", which is the painting on the leftside of Raphael's bed. The Key From Raphael's Safe can be looted from Haarlep's body to open the safe. | |||
| | |||
Sleeping with Haarlep will not have any negative repercussions on any current romance. However, it will lock the party out of gaining the {{SmRarityItem|Helldusk Gloves}}, and potentially gain them a humorous line at the end of the House of Hope in trade - when prompted for a question after the scene, ask Haarlep if Raphael is any good in bed, and a mocking response will be available when Raphael asks if the party have any last words. | |||
==Combat== | |||
Haarlep can be fought by rejecting their invitation to play outright or resisting their advances. On combat start, they will summon six [[Vengeful Imp|Vengeful Imps]] to assist them in the fight. | |||
If battle was initiated by resisting Haarlep after having begun the sexual encounter, the party member who took off their clothes will begin the fight without any of their weapons or equipment, having only their underwear equipped. | |||
| | |||
The fight itself isn't too daunting, though it can become annoying due to Haarlep's passive ability. When attacked, Haarlep can cast {{SAI|Ethereal Escape}} as a reaction, allowing them to prevent further damage until the start of their next turn. It can be helpful to inflict a condition on them that prevents reactions (such as dazed, paralysis, or knocking them prone), although {{SAI|Shocking Grasp}} is ineffective. Alternatively, baiting out an [[Attack of Opportunity]] will consume their reaction. Offensively, they will use {{SAI|Claws}}. | |||
The imps themselves are not too troublesome as they have low health, however, they will continuously cast {{SAI|Eldritch Blast}} which can push characters off the boudoir's balcony via {{SAI|Repelling Blast}}. It's best to deal with them quickly via area-of-effect spells and focus on Haarlep later. | |||
Characters outside of combat will not be revealed if approaching Haarlep under the Ethereal Escape effect, as their line of sight cone is disabled. | |||

Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ The name "Haarlep" is an anagram of Raphael.
- ↑ Though in-game dialogue refers to Haarlep as male and as an incubus, it's never explicitly stated by them what their preference is. Game files alternate between using "he/him" and "they/them" for Haarlep as well, and given that Forgotten Realms lore is not clear on whether incubi are a separate, male-only race apart from succubi, or if only succubi exist that are able to shapeshift to a male form, this articles uses "they/them" to refer to Haarlep.
