Save Hope: Difference between revisions

Upon entering the Boudoir, the party is accosted by an incubus named [[Haarlep]], who has been polymorphed into a perfect copy of Raphael. Haarlep asks why the party is there, but is already aware that they seek their contract. Haarlep will help the party out if they agree to "play a game" with him. Agreeing to play the "game" has the party taking off their clothes and Haarlep seducing them to give over their mind and body. The party can insist the just the body be taken, which Haarlep agrees to and tells them that they will always know when an orgasm is experienced in their form. Otherwise, giving over both mind and body results in a game over.

After leaving the Archive, the residents of the House of Hope turn hostile, including the Debtors and several Hell Spheres. One the way to the prison, the party can stop in the Boudoir and use the rejuvenation faucet (X:-6482, Y:2977) to heal. Hope's prison cell is on the eastern side of the House, in a hatch just south of the Outer Portals.  Once inside, the party faces two Spectators and a large number of Vengeful Imps. Alternatively, there is a hole in the side of the prison's foundation, just outside the first door after the portal room; It allows the party to approach the enemies from one side of the area, so that one spectator is fought at a time.  Equip the Orphic Hammer and smash the two crystals to free Hope, who joins the party as a temporary companion.

Once Hope is freed, return to the entrance where the portal is located. Unfortunately, [[Raphael]], [[Yurgir]], and [[Korrilla Hearthflame|Korrilla]] are there waiting. Raphael, enraged, states that the deal is over and that none of the party is getting out alive. Yurgir can be convinced to switch sides with a persuasion check (DC 30 if he was killed in [[Act Two|Chapter Two]]), or he automatically switches sides if he helped the party find the House of Hope in the first place. Yurgir never joins the party if he was convinced to kill himself in Chapter Two.
