Lanni

Harper Lanni is a lightfoot halfling ranger and Harper. Depending on whether or not Essius is alive, she can take his place and help the party during the Assault on Moonrise Towers and be a potential ally during Confront the Elder Brain.

Involvement

Assault Moonrise Towers

Main article: Infiltrate Moonrise Towers

If Flaming Fist Marcus has been prevented from capturing Isobel and destroying Last Light Inn, and if the Nightsong has been freed from her cage to wage war against Ketheric Thorm at Moonrise, Lanni will take the place of Harper Essius as a failsafe in the event that the latter has been killed before the Assault on Moonrise Towers.

After the main battle, if she manages to survive the fight, she will guard the first floor of Moonrise Towers with the remaining Harpers.

Talking to Lanni after Ketheric has been defeated will have her in awe of the Elder Brain, mentioning how she has fought a Mind Flayer before and lost half her squad to it.

Act Three

Provided Lanni survives Moonrise Towers, she is summonable as an ally through the  Gather Your Allies variant  Silver Harp Squadron, if The High Harper is completed with Minsc alive, and either Antony, Naysa, or Lymn are dead.

Notes

• Lanni wears a unique combination of a Leather Helmet and bandit's mask that is impossible to replicate as a player.
  • Lanni appears in the Baldurs Gate 3 Official Launch Month at The Game Awards 2022 trailer during the Assault on Moonrise Towers, but without the leather helmet.
• When summoned during Confront the Elder Brain, Lanni has an unlimited Arrow of Lightning supply to use.
  • If killed during the Assault on Moonrise Towers, a replacement Harper failsafe (either Grenywald or Olys), or a generic Harper Archer will take her place as a  Silver Harp Squadron summon.
• Lanni has four level 1 spell slots, and two level 2 spell slots, despite having no spell to cast.
• Unlike Essius, who is unable to attack twice during a turn despite having the Extra Attack feature, Lanni is not affected by this bug.
