Wish I'd used the latrine. Always need to, before a battle.

Involvement

Act Two

Assault Moonrise Towers

If  Isobel is saved at the Last Light Inn, and if the  Nightsong has been freed from her cage to wage war against  Ketheric Thorm at Moonrise Towers, Olys takes the place of one of the original Harper allies (either  Antony,  Essius,  Lymn, or  Naysa) as a failsafe if one of them has been killed before the ⁠Assault on Moonrise Towers. Speaking with with Olys results in him nervously revealing that he wished he had used the latrine before going to battle.

If he survives the main battle, Olys guards the first floor of Moonrise Towers with the remaining Harpers. Talking with him again reveals his signs of nausea from seeing a tadpole crawl out of a corpse, and he pleads with the party to finish the fight.

Act Three

Provided Olys survives Moonrise Towers, he 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 is dead.

Notes

• According to his dialogue's devnotes, Olys' squeasy and nervous behaviour is a sign of him being very much a "rookie".
• When summoned during Confront the Elder Brain, Olys has an unlimited  Arrow of Lightning supply to use.
  • If killed during the Assault on Moonrise Towers, a replacement Harper failsafe (either Grenywald or Lanni), or a generic Harper Archer will take his place as a  Silver Harp Squadron summon.
• Olys has four level 1 spell slots, and two level 2 spell slots, despite having no spell to cast.
• Unlike the original Harper allies, who are unable to attack twice during a turn despite having the Extra Attack feature, Olys is not affected by this bug.
