Lassandra

Harper Lassandra is a human fighter belonging to the Harpers, in Act Two. She leads a small group of Harpers out on a patrol expedition to the hills east of Last Light Inn.

'Last Light', indeed. Savour it while you can.

Involvement

Expedition

Lassandra can be first encountered in the Shadow-Cursed Lands, by entering via the Grymforge lift. She is leading an expedition of Harpers, consisting of Yonas, Meygan, and Karrow. Yonas is ambushed and corrupted by a Shadow ambush. If the party intervenes and saves her, she will thank the party and mark the location of the Last Light Inn on the map.

Last Light Inn

If the party then heads to Last Light Inn and is met with distrust from Elifer, Lassandra will attempt to vouch for them, though it will have little effect on the following conversation afterward.

She will then remain idle near the entrance to Last Light Inn, watching over the bridge from the barricades.

After talking with Jaheira inside the inn, Lassandra will join up with Branthos, Elindale, Manus, and Skywin on the bridge in front of Last Light Inn, so they and the party can move in to intercept and ambush a nearby Absolutist convoy in order to acquire their source of protection against the Shadow Curse. Accepting the mission would have her and the squad of Harpers move in to the Ruined Battlefield, where they'll lay in wait for the Absolutist convoy. The party can either go with the group immediately or catch up with them later, as the ambush site is marked on their map.

If the party immediately talks to Isobel and fights Marcus after talking with Jaheira, Lassandra would have already moved to the bridge, out of reach of the battle. Regardless, if Isobel is kidnapped, she will nonetheless turn into a  Shadow-Cursed Undead and teleport to a rocky ledge near the docks.

Ambush

Main article: Follow the Convoy

Lassandra, along with Harpers Skywin, Elindale, Branthos, and Manus will be waiting in a run-down shack at the Ruined Battlefield. Talking to anyone at the ambush site will commence the ambush with Lassandra telling the party to hide, and to be ready to send the signal, before spawning the encounter. Once the convoy arrives, the party can attack immediately or hang back. If choosing to stay hidden and keep watching, Kar'niss kills Brawler Vez, one of the goblins in the convoy. From there, the party can either signal the Harpers or the Harpers will start the encounter themselves. After the fight, on the drider's corpse will be a Moonlantern.

Alternatively, the party can convince Kar'niss to relinquish the Moonlantern, and to lead the Absolutist convoy to its death, where they will eventually be cursed. Either way, Lassandra will depart along the rest of her squad, and return to Last Light Inn.

If choosing to reach the Shadow-Cursed Lands through the Mountain Pass will start Follow the Convoy instead. At the time when the party can choose to either turn on the convoy and help the Harpers, or protect the convoy to continue their cover as a True Soul, Lassandra is completely missing from the ambush, as she has yet to be rescued from her expedition.

No matter the resolution of the ambush, if heading on over to Last Light Inn, the party will see Lassandra returning to the sanctuary with Karrow, and Meygan.

After Ambush

Once the ambush is over, Lassandra and her first group can later be found mourning Yonas on a rocky ledge near the Last Light Inn docks.

Assault Moonrise Towers

Lassandra, along with Meygan, Mijah, and Karrow, does not join the assault against Absolute forces. She remains at the Last Light Inn to patrol its outskirts, before completely disappearing once Ketheric Thorm is defeated.

Notes

• Lassandra wears a set of armor identical to the Scale Mail +2 or Yuan-Ti Scale Mail armor set, but with a combination of colors innaccessible to the player. She has a Harp-Shaped Pin pinned on her chest.
  • She also wears a unique cosmetic cape that is likewise innaccessible to the player. The Cloak that she drops has different visuals from the one she uses.
  • She also wears a metal circlet on her head that is visually distinct from any other player-equippable headwear, and is innaccessible to players.
• If Branthos is killed at any point in time during the convoy's ambush, Lassandra — if present — can take the lead in talking to the player instead and conclude the quest.
• Lassandra, much like Karrow, Meygan, and Yonas, are the only level 5 Harpers in Act Two.
  • All the other Harpers in Last Light Inn are level 6, except for Jaheira, who is level 8.
• Harper Leysin is an almost-exact physical copy of Lassandra, with the same appearance and outfit, save for having blond hair and different a different stat block.
• As of Patch 7, despite having Extra Attack, Lassandra is not able to attack twice during her turns.
