Olys

Harper Olys is an asmodeus tiefling ranger and Harper. Depending on if one of the original Harper allies are dead, he can take their 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 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, Olys will take the place of one of the original Harper allies (either Antony, Essius, Lymn, or Naysa) as a failsafe in the event that the latter has been killed before the Assault on Moonrise Towers. Talking to Olys has him nervously reveal that he wished he'd used the latrine before going to battle.

After the main battle, if he manages to survive the fight, he will guard the first floor of Moonrise Towers with the remaining Harpers. Talking with Olys will have him show signs of nausea from seeing a tadpole crawl out of a corpse, and he will plead 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 are 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.
