It’s time for love, breakups … And lyrics 🎶

One year after the events of DH2, the gang is back to Britechester to enjoy the fun and drama of student life. While Destiny and Aïssa are living the perfect love, fighting for their civil rights, Leïla and Hiro are still fighting with each other. He blames her for being obsessed with magic while she just wants him to act more like an adult now that they live together. Milo, on his side, is tired to experiment the trauma of the Grindr life and wants to find true love.

One night, the gang is having a drink and Leïla/Hiro start arguing about an ancient book she found earlier that day. Meanwhile, Mindy finally admits to Chloé that she applied to the Lambda sorority, which could lead their friendship to an end.

As the night and relationships are coming to difficult choices, an ancient spell will make everyone reveal their truth for 24 crazy hours. Are you ready for it ? ♫

This is a special episode that is introducing the characters, places and major plots for DH3 : Nightmare at Britechester !

This is a musical, which means that the story will include songs that you can already discover and enjoy just below (Spotify playlist)

Remember that this is an adult story, even more this time with serious issue like rape, harassment, male toxicity ... I'll put the proper trigger warnings for each chapter.

Synopsis below the cut!

Lucia is a succubus, a demon with the power to shape the emotions and passions of mortals. Summoned often into the world of Melodia, she takes pride in upholding her demonic contracts to the best of her abilities. She likes to think she does her job well … though a string of recent failures say otherwise.

Talia, the recently elevated Duke of Fallmire, summons Lucia for a simple reason: to pose as her wife and fulfill marital obligations to the satisfaction of Parliament. All to say, just a few weeks of walking around the estate and playing nice with the neighbors before a conveniently tragic death. Quick and easy.

But immediately, Lucia smells blood in the water. Behind closed doors, the Duke plots vengeance upon those who killed her father—and the demon wants in. Revenge, after all, is much more fun … and more lucrative, to boot.

But can Lucia predict how hard she’d fall for the Duke? (Not a chance). And can the Duke find it in her vengeful heart to love?

Spice Level: lightly described nudity, fade-to-black sex.

64,000 words.

All right, resuming Rakha's horrible Moonrise experience. XD

We left off having broken into Ketheric's bedroom and giving Rakha a brief bonding moment with his zombie dog, Squire, but there's other important things in here as well of course. (Not as important as the zombie dog, but very little is. XD )

She keys in immediately on the note lying on one of the desks near the door:

Dun dun dun.

There's no quest update or dialogue proc'd off of this document, but I'm wracking my brain and I'm pretty sure this is the first time Rakha has had any indication that Gortash is involved with the cult. She's heard about him, of course - both from Karlach, who has identified him as the man who shipped her off to indentured servitude in the Hells, and from Florrick, who described him as a high-ranking lord in Baldur's Gate responsible for some sort of important defense system.

So this is a Development. This is another person trying to get their hands on the artifact Rakha carries - and not only is he a cultist but also someone Karlach hates and someone with power. Gortash has immediately become a Person of Interest for Rakha's knife.

(I'm looking back at my liveblog of Hector's run and I'm not sure why I didn't freak out more about this then also, since I don't think Hector had any more information at this point than Rakha does. Maybe I was too busy freaking out about the OTHER document found in this room, which we'll get to in a moment.)

I'm also freaking out sidelong because I just realized something about that second paragraph - "The body of our handpicked captain for the artifact raid wasn't found in the wreckage of the nautiloid, and I'm not at all easy in my mind about that fact."

He's talking about the Emperor!

I've been, I think, a little muddled on the timeline surrounding the Prism - when the Emperor entered it, and also when Shadowheart got hold of it. Still not clear on the latter item (I'll have to do some digging later) but I definitely thought the Emperor had been operating out of the Prism for a while, looking for allies, but it seems like that might not be the case. Empy was dispatched to find the Prism on the same nautiloid that captured Rakha/Hector and the others, which means it probably had only gotten control of its consciousness not long before the crash.

Neither Rakha nor Hector had the context to make this connection at the time, but I think on some level both of them might be heartened to know that Empy has ALSO pretty much been making all this up as it goes along.

-----

In exploring the rest of the room, Rakha also finds:

A ritual inscribed on a piece of paper. "Your white ribs the pillars/Your bleached skull the dome/Take on Apostle's final form/Cathedral wrought of blessed bone." Once again, this hits rather different for me now that I've played through the game once, but Rakha, of course, hasn't the foggiest idea what it's talking about. Shadowheart recognizes it as a ritual incantation and says it's neither Sharran nor Selunite, but doesn't have any other insight to offer.

A letter from Ketheric's dead wife. It speaks passionately of their (at the time) shared Selunite religion and her expectation of seeing him after death. Rakha suspects that is probably not going to happen. As usual, she looks at these fervent religious dedications with a sort of detached curiosity and finds it hard to comprehend its importance.

She does comment aloud, though - "A letter from Ketheric's wife. Sounds like she loved him very much." Her eyes flick to Wyll as she speaks, involuntarily. She may not understand the religious fervor, but love - she is growing to understand that. She doesn't have the eloquent words for it like Melodia Thorm did - or like Wyll himself does. It bothers her that she doesn't, that instead it simply sits and burns in her chest like a low coal fire. Deep down she is starting to realize that she is very afraid that there is an inevitable day coming where he will realize she is a broken thing not worth his attention.

The book hidden under Ketheric's bed, titled "Elder Brain Domination." Another mention of Gortash, this one in more specific terms journaled by Ketheric, confirming something Rakha suspected during her communion with the meat in the walls - Gortash and Ketheric are working together to enslave an illithid elder brain and serve it up under the guise of the Absolute.

She studies this book with intense interest.

Fact and fact and fact, filed away into the back of her mind. It states that Ketheric and Gortash and others, left nameless, are using something called the Crown of Karsus to subdue the elder brain. The process involves three things called Netherstones. Ketheric plans to turn on his allies and take all three stones for himself. Gortash likely plans the same.

She tries to focus on these facts, building them up into a picture as she always does... but her eyes keep drifting back to a single sentence.

"Young Gortash's plan to enslave an illithid elder brain and make it our marionette under control of the Crown of Karsus has proceeded almost without flaw, barring the slight delay while our Bhaalist allies sorted out their leadership conflict."

Her head spasms with a sudden deep, pulse-pounding ache. She drops the book on the bed and groans softly.

Focus. This is important information. It explains little, adds further questions, but also crystallizes the little information she did have more clearly. The Absolute "god" is nothing more than a very powerful ghaik. Lae'zel's people fight ghaik as a matter of course; that means this one can be fought too.

And yet there are still so many shadows, so many things she doesn't understand.

"All right, love?" Wyll asks softly. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

"I'm fine." She wants to ask him what he makes of it all, but she feels oddly wary, like the floor is threatening to give out under her feet.

Blog update !

It's been a while since I didn't post one but so many things happened in my life lately and this has been affected my blog so ...

Life update : I didn't want to talk about this at first but this is really the main reason of basically every changes lately ... My dad is very ill (stage 4 cancer) and he can't recover from it so .... My life has changed a bit since I got the news. I don't sleep as I used to, I'm helping my parents as much as I can and I also have a new job+ the new appartment reseach that are a bit exhausting mentally. I've been trying to do everything for the best but I also realised that I spent my last weekends just relaxing and hanging out with friends because I really needed an escape from all the daily stress and bad thoughts about my dad's illness. Working on Melodia helps me a lot but lately, as it's one of my number 1 issue : I don't have a lot of storage capacity on my computer which makes Photoshop impossible to open :'(

Blog update : Considering that, I'm still working on Melodia but I just have to pause the posting for a moment T_T So far, you're not a lot to read it so this also will give time to the ones who still have to catch up with the story. I hope to be able to post again very soon but for now I guess I can just enjoy the new pack I didn't discover yet. I hope to not have to wait a long time without being able to work on DH because I really live doing it so far ! If you want to see some gameplay pics, don't hesitate to ask :)

I guess that's all for now . I hope that you're all feeling great lately, if not, you should because you're awesome !

Take very good care of you and see you very soon for the next part of Melodia

A sheepish chuckle left Janne after. "What if you don't know where to start, though...?" He paused ,looking at the stall. "The empty one?" Now that he thought about it, it did seem awfully sus...

Upon further inspection, it had been recently cleaned like the rest of the stalls. There was a small bag hanging at the back of the stall, which caught Janne's interest. Janne tried to open the stall -and it was locked.

"Wait, maybe I can pick the lock..." He took out a pin, messing about with the lock, before opening it. "There! Now we can get to what's inside."

Are we gonna get in trouble for this? Maybe.

Will it be worth it? Hope so.

-----

Mona blinked, looking up at James. "It might...?" She blinked, putting a hand to where the pin was, before nodding and lowering her hand. "That would be most...helpful, thank you."

Quite honestly, Geist noticed that if she had overheard him and Ariel ealrier, she hadn't looked disturbed in the slightest. It made him wonder, briefly, what horrors she witnessed before that made her completely indifferent to discussions of cannibalism. Despite that, he made contact - only for Rafaele's image to appear. It was hard to tell what section of the castle he was in, given that the background was pretty darkened.

"Ah, Geist. Greetings." Rafele paused, then asked, "Any updates?"

Geist frowned. "Is the Countess not available?"

"She's attending to a few other matters - including the Grand Marshall showing up to offer her personal assistance." Rafaele explained. "So, she left me in charge of answering calls. What's the situation?"

"We didn't find DeRogna, but the base is cleared. We found a bunch of magical beasts, and we're helping out all the injured ones before we let them go on their merry way. Nothing else to note, save for multiple dead bodies - all on the enemy's side."

"I see." Rafaele glaneced in one direction, as if looking past Geist. "And James and Mona...?"

"Are fine. I'm fine, too." Geist decided not to disclose anything else.

A chuckle left Rafele after. "I see. Come back when you can."

"Thanks." Geist ended the call, before looking toward James and Mona. "Apparently Edea decided to show up at Melodia Castle and the Countess is recapping her on things right now. We should get back."
