===The Crown of Karsus=== | |||
Raphael bore witness to the fall of Netheril through [[Netheril#Karsus'_Folly|Karsus' Folly]]; a magocracy destroyed by Karsus' inability to control the [[Crown of Karsus]]. However, Raphael saw also Karsus' ambition for creating a "better world" and ever since, coveted the crown for use in uniting the Nine Hells under his rule as Archdevil Supreme. {{ref|Raphael in the [[Devil's Den]]}} | Raphael bore witness to the fall of Netheril through [[Netheril#Karsus'_Folly|Karsus' Folly]]; a magocracy destroyed by Karsus' inability to control the [[Crown of Karsus]].

Raphael finally saw his chance to obtain the crown when a group of adventurers who had been implanted with tadpoles under the Dead Three's plan, managed to retain their autonomy.

Raphael will introduce himself to the player not long after the fall of the [[Nautiloid]]. He appears disguised as a Human with an enigmatic personality, and the player can act diplomatically or hostile about his presence. | Raphael will introduce himself to the player not long after the fall of the [[Nautiloid]].

While in the Wilderness, one of Raphael's agents, [[Korilla]], will be keeping an eye on the player. If the player is captured by [[Gut]], Korilla will stab the goblin as she's about to kill the player, killing her instantly. She will then free the player and reveal Raphael sent her. Korilla will tell the player to watch their back, as Raphael is not always going to be around to save them. | |||

Shortly after the party starts, Korrilla appears to teleport into the northern part of the camp and can briefly be found sneaking around, towards where [[Gale]] is camped, before disappearing. | ||
If the player is spotted getting too close, she will disappear, with the player's character making a remark about a "bizarre" smell of sulphur. If the player can get close enough without being detected, it is possible to [[Stealing#Picking Pockets|pickpocket]] her for some common items and a small amount of gold, or trigger two lines of dialogue before she disappears. | If the player is spotted getting too close, she will disappear, with the player's character making a remark about a "bizarre" smell of sulphur.

During Act Two, Raphael can first be found at the [[Last Light Inn]], playing lanceboard with [[Mol]], if she survived. If [[Astarion]] is in the party, Raphael will offer him a deal for information about his scar. Mol can be spoken to after Raphael disappears, and will tell the party that she is considering making a deal with him. | |||
Korrilla too can be briefly spotted and spoken to outside the Rethwin Masons' Guild in the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], still keeping an eye on the party. | |||
Raphael will later appear outside the [[Grand Mausoleum]], practising his monologue. After approaching him, he will immediately strike up a conversation with the party. He will warn them of a creature within the Mausoleum, and ask for it to be killed. Killing the creature also acts as payment for Astarion's deal. | |||
If | Finding the creature inside the Mausoleum, the party will discover that Rapahel's enemy is [[Yurgir]], an orthon who is trapped in a contract with Raphael. If his contract is successfully broken, Raphael will appear to take Yurgir back to the House of Hope to discuss a new contract. | ||
If he is killed, Yurgir will return back to the House of Hope. If Astarion made a deal, Raphael will appear at camp to fulfil his side of the bargain. | |||

After reaching [[Wyrm's Crossing]] in Act Three, Korrilla will appear at [[Sharess' Caress]]' bar, and will try and convince the party to take Raphael's deal. Upstairs in the [[Devil's Den]], Raphael will be speaking to [[Voss]], who wishes to make a deal with him in exchange for the Orphic Hammer. He is uninterested in anything Voss has to offer, but will instead offer it to the party in exchange for the [[Crown of Karsus]]. Raphael wants to unite the hells using the crown, and rule over them. The party can take this deal, or attempt to steal the Hammer from Raphael's [[House of Hope]]. | |||
The party can also just visit (or loot everything but the hammer from) Raphael's house. Here they will discover he is keeping Korrilla's sister, [[Hope]], captive, and that he prefers to have sex with an incubus who looks like a younger version of himself, [[Haarlep]]. | The party can also just visit (or loot everything but the hammer from) Raphael's house.
