Haarlep is an Incubus who can be found in the House of Hope. Employed by Raphael to satisfy his desires, they can be found in Raphael's personal chambers. Haarlep can be engaged with, in which case they will provide valuable information in exchange for a fiendish sexual encounter. Alternatively, they can be fought, skipping the sexual encounter but losing access to the information.

Why are you here, little thief?

— Haarlep

Overview

Background

Haarlep is an incubus that can be found on Raphael's bed in the House of Hope. They serve 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. They will quickly ascertain the situation and offer the party information they seek, in exchange for a brief sexual encounter. If the offer is accepted, and Haarlep has their way with the player, they will reward them. If during the encounter the player resists or the invitation is turned down outright, Haarlep with fight them instead.

Gameplay

• Haarlep is a level 9 Incubus
• They appear only in Act 3 of the game
• Haarlep can have a sexual encounter with the player or be fought for their items
• In combat, they behave similarly to regular Cambions, though they are unarmed

Interactions

Act Three

Haarlep can be found on Raphael's bed in his boudoir. When approached, they 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 the party what their preference is: male or female. If no preference is decided, Haarlep will remain in their female form.

With the party member on the bed, Haarlep will approach, pressuring with their charms. Players can now surrender to Haarlep or resist via a DC 18 Wisdom check or DC 18 Performance check. Even with a success, Haarlep's charm is too much and the player 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 enjoying themselves. Haarlep will then invite the player 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 Key From Raphael's Safe, letting the party know that Raphael's secret safe is behind the painting of himself. Haarlep will then depart and from then on, the player will periodically receive notifications on Haarlep's sexual adventures 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 player may resist via a successful DC 25 Constitution check, in which case they will throw Haarlep off them and begin a fight.

Combat

Haarlep can be fought by rejecting their invitation to play outright or resisting their advances. On combat start, they will summon six Vengeful Imps to assist them in the fight.

The fight itself isn't too daunting, though it can become annoying rather quickly due to Haarlep's passive. When attacked, Haarlep can cast Ethereal Escape as a reaction, allowing them to prevent further damage until the start of their next turn. Any abilities or effects that paralyze can be very helpful, as well as Shocking Grasp which disables reactions. Alternatively, baiting out an Attack of Opportunity will consume their reaction. Offensively, they will use Claws.

The imps themselves are not too troublesome as they have low health, however, they will continuously cast Eldritch Blast which can push characters off the boudoir via Repelling Blast. It's best to deal with them quickly via AoE spells and focus on Haarlep later.

Trivia

• Haarlep is an anagram of Raphael.
• 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. Whatever the case, Haarlep shows a preference for their male form as that's the way they introduce themselves and how the game treats them via spells and abilities descriptions.
