Ok but when I was fighting Haarlep, he kept running in circles in Raphael's room and everytime he'd run past Astarion, Astarion would perform an [opportunity attack]. It hit EVERYTIME but not just that, because Haarlep had his back to him, it always looked like Astarion was stabbing Haarlep in the ass which, I headcanon, is how Raphael even knew we were in his house.

Oh and Haarlep charmed Gale which, I gotta be honest, I was disappointed in our resident wizard. All it took was an incubus running around in his underwear to make him changed sides, can't believe it, Gale. After all the magical items I fed him - I thought we were friends, man. We cast a spell together once, GALE. Where's the loyalty? This ain't one off either, first it was the harpies, now Haarlep, where does the betrayal end?

#Fr I had an absolute blast with the fight - was laughing the whole time #Astarion really was MVP tho #LMAO it makes me laugh thinking that Raphael is reciting a poem to someone he's making a deal with and then BAM #Sharp stabbing pain in the last place you'd ever want it #Probably his most embarrassing sales pitch tbh #RIP Raphael #But that's what happens when you got a 99.9% naked incubus in your image that picks a fight with your fav adventurers #Baldur's Gate 3 #BG3 #House of Hope #Baldur's Gate 3 Act 3 #Baldur's Gate 3 Act 3 Spoilers #Astarion #Gale of Waterdeep #Gale Dekarios #Haarlep #BG3 Raphael

Orla Sheehan, Renowned Historian and Archeologist of Baldur's Gate

So I just recently finished Baldur's Gate 3. And I have a lot of things I want to put into words about the lore for my Tav, who is also my D&D character, Orla Sheehan.

SPOILERS FOR ALL THREE ACTS OF BALDUR'S GATE 3

Before Act 1:

Orla is a history professor at Baldur's Gate, teaching at many schools in the Upper City and acting as a leading figure in the study of ancient civilizations. Being an archeologist and explorer, Orla would often lead her own expeditions into the more perilous and stranger parts of Faerun. She studied for years the art of dueling and fighting with a rapier, so she was always able to defend herself. Alongside her was her partner and co-writer of many of her books, Drita. Drita is an incredibly well studied biologist and alchemist. She would help Orla with her expeditions very often. While the two were not romantic with each other, they had a strong bond and an immense deal of respect for each other.

Yet in a special expedition near Neverwinter, their group was attacked by bandits, who looked to rob Orla's party of their valuable artifacts and treasures. Orla always had this... not necessarily carefree attitude but leaning towards that when she fights. Training for years, she treats this like any menial task. Orla and her hired adventurers made quick work of the bandits, but in a brief moment of not thinking and foolishly thinking that everything was over, one of the bandits holds Drita hostage with a knife. Things go very badly and the bandit slices Drita's throat. Orla quickly kills the bandit and tries to heal Drita herself. But the wounds she took are too grievous for Orla's magic, who always thought they wouldn't need anything more. And so Drita died in Orla's arms.

Her death haunted Orla for so long. It snaps her back into reality as to how careless and lax she had been. So much so that it cost the life of one of her best friends and partners. Every since then, Orla acted more vigilant and selfless. For Drita's sake, she needed to be better. Never to allow such carelessness cost her someone's life once again.

Act 1:

The main thing about Act 1 to add onto the main story is the appearance of the Dream Visitor, who looks exactly like Drita. Even remembers what her life was like with Orla. Her mind swirls and races with so many thoughts and feelings, but nothing gets answered in that part of the game. It only serves as a realization of what she condemned her partner to.

On a brighter note though, Orla meets Karlach. Up until this point, Orla didn't really know how to handle emotions well. She has certainly never met anyone she wanted to be romantically involved with either. But Karlach's energy, her kindness, her loyalty to her friends, and her unwavering willingness to do good charmed her so deeply. And she's fucking hot but yeah.

And so a lot of Act 1 and Act 2 is Orla dealing with strong emotions she's never really had to deal with before. Love, romantic love. Nervousness, anxiety. Some of the motivators for those last two were part of the events of the story, but a good chunk of it was because of her time with Karlach.

Act 3:

The discovery of the Emperor devastated Orla. Finding out this mind flayer perverted and abused the memories that she had of Drita should have enraged her. But she knew it would get them nowhere.

At first, Orla wanted to find some way to fix Karlach's engine, but there was nothing she could find. Dammon had no more solutions for them. The upper city was completely sealed off, despite their best efforts to get in. And none of Orla's old associates knew anything, even those more well versed in Avernus and the Hells themselves. As Karlach started to accept her fate, Orla began to accept it too. And made it a point to make the most of their time together. Whether it was drinking a taverns, exploring the Lower City together, enjoying what they could of Baldur's Gate.

But after the Netherbrain was defeated and Orla saw Karlach begin to let herself go to the raging infernal engine in her chest, Orla stayed with her to the very end. Despite Karlach's warnings, Orla embraced her in those last moments as flames engulfed her. The infernal engine exploded. Nothing was left of Karlach. And Orla felt herself blasted back towards Wyll, who rushed her off to Shadowheart to treat the horrible wounds on her face and body. The explosion ripped apart her armor and burnt half of Orla's face and body badly. It was a miracle that she stayed intact at all. More so that she woke up days later in bed, being cared for by Shadowheart and her parents.

Baldur's Gate was saved. The people began to rebuild. Orla was a hero. Yet she didn't feel like celebrating. She laid in bed for days, staring up at the ceiling. The absence of that love and joy she felt for Karlach before was deafening. It felt like her heart was the one that got destroyed that day and she just continues to live for some cruel twist of fate. Part of her wished that she died in that explosion. That she went to the City of Judgement with her or whatever afterlife waiting them. As long as they were together.

But now she was gone. And Orla was still here.

Many of her companions would come to visit her, trying to cheer her up in some way. None of it worked, despite what methods they all used. Then one day, Dame Aylin visited Orla. She exclaimed that so many years ago, she too was in this same position as Orla. When she lost Isobel. And back then, while it may not have turned out well, what pushed her to keep going was her memory and the obligation she still had to the people that Isobel loved. Which is what Dame Aylin says to Orla. To remember what she still has. And remember that Karlach would want nothing more than for her to continue on, with the same heart and passion she did in life. And while blunt and loud were Aylin's words, they sparked something in Orla's heart. Something that she hadn't felt in weeks.

Immediately did Orla begin to write a new book. A history of her adventures. Of the people she traveled with. Of the heroes of Baldur's Gate. Quotes directly from her friends, of their trials and feelings and bonds with others. Or at least, what they were all willing to share.

And when it came to Karlach's chapter, she wrote of this woman who never failed to find the good in people. Of a woman who's smile burned as bright as the sun. Of a woman always kept her heart in the right place, despite having her original one stolen. Of a woman who vanquished evil with raging flames of justice. Of a woman that Orla deeply loved. Orla made sure that Karlach was remembered as a hero. As a savior. As someone people could look up to.

The burns on her face now serve as a reminder of the literal mark that Karlach left on her life. And a reminder that she will see her again. One day, when it's finally her time to pass on.

--------------------------------------

Yeah, I had a lot of thoughts about Baldur's Gate and my little D&D blorbo. If you made it this far, thank you and I really appreciate you for reading all of this! And I hope you enjoyed Baldur's Gate 3, if you played it!

Roisia in her original Divinity: Original Sin build was a witch and witchcraft spells are a combination of D&D's Necromancy + Enchantment schools. I replicated that in-game and had a think about the… complications that might arise when Astarion realises that this unassuming woman has also been a bit of a deft hand at persuading, deceiving, and manipulating her targets too.

Rejecting Raphael's deal is hilarious.

He was offering the hammer to my Durge and I made her say something akin to "Lol, why would I want that?"

Raphael then went on a rant about how the Emperor is manipulative, ect but the thing that got me is I took the dialogue that was basically "Mmmkay, I'm going now, bye" And Raphael was like "Fine! I won't stop you!" but he didn't let me walk out of the room instead he just straight up teleported my Durge out right outside the door just to slam it in her face.

The level of pettiness, phew, Raphael doesn't like being rejected. No sir. Safe to say he doesn't take it well.
