Can my friend still make a deal with Raphael?

My friend got to Act 3 and left Raphael on read at Sharess Caress, thinking based on what we read online that she could sneak into HoH, steal the gauntlets but leave the hammer so Raphael won't show when she tries to leave, and then go back to him at Sharess Caress and still sneakily make a deal.

She went into HoH, got the gauntlets, left the Hammer, but when she went back to Sharess Caress, Raphael was no longer there.

She doesn't want to fight him so she has no intention of returning to HoH to take the Hammer. Will or can he still show towards the end if she chooses the option that would require the Hammer?
