## History

### Arc 9: The Goat, The Witch, and The Warden

In early May of 2096, Daphne was traveling with her caravan through Boise when they were ambushed by Brad Modeen's gang. His Anti-Templars mowed through the caravan guard with relative ease. Modeen rounded up the civilians and took them hostage. He then took the youngest of them, Daphne, threw her a bloody sack, and told her to deliver a message to Simon in Boise: come and face him in a duel, or every day he chose to delay his response, a caravaner would be killed. Daphne took the bag and quickly drove off in a bullet-pocked van.

She arrived in Boise on May 9th, driving up to the front steps of the Temple and stumbling out with her cargo. She delivered it to Simon, who took her to one of the building's back rooms. She quickly told him of Modeen's challenge, sobbing as she handed off the bag. Addie and Vickers arrived not long after, questioning what had happened. He showed them the bag, and the head inside: Tim Brown, a member of Addie's graduating class.

Simon told Addie and Vickers what had been stirring lately: the Wrecking Crew had been stepping up their operations in Idaho, and along with Modeen, teamed up with the Combine and another organization out of Shan Fan. Brad had gotten bolder in his attacks with his new backing, and Simon wanted Brad brought to justice. Daphne snapped at him, angry he was talking about justice and personal slights against the Templars when her family was about to be hanged. Simon stared her down with anger of his own, but stepped back and started pacing.

After some questioning from Addie, he introduced Daphne to her and Vickers and told them of Modeen's challenge to him. He told them he wanted intel first before moving in, and asked the group to investigate the attack on Daphne's caravan. Daphne agreed to guide Addie and her group to the spot.

She waited impatiently while Addie gathered her teammates, muttering they needed to leave. She headed out with the group, riding in Choc's tank, and gave them directions to the attack site. The group felt a shift as they entered the deadland, a feeling of dread. Toussaint mentioned the barrier between this world and the hunting grounds was thin in this place, and told the group reality may not function the same. Daphne protested they didn't have time to worry about it, and Toussaint responded she wouldn't like to die here, as she'd assuredly come back undead. She went quiet.

The group soon arrived at the attack site, and later followed Brad's trail to Sam's Orchard. After finding Barbara, the doomsayer from Daphne's caravan, Daphne kept her company to help keep her calm.

After the group took out a group of Modeen's gang and freed their captives, Daphne was reunited with her father. With Addie's blessing, the two handed out food and water amongst their surviving group members and prepared for the fight ahead with Modeen.

When Brad arrived with his gang, Daphne and her now armed group open fire on them at Addie's signal. While a couple of her own scrambled away when Gregg summoned her hobb servants, Daphne and her father stood their ground, and continued to take shots even after some of their people got wounded.

Once the fight was over, Daphne returned to Boise with the rest of her people. She witnessed Addie light the funeral pyre for those that were killed by Brad, Templars and caravaners alike. She and the others stayed in Boise after the ordeal.
