Delilah

Delilah

> Delilah was born and raised in the city of Bluepeak. Her family was fairly wealthy so she had access to some of the best schools and tutors money could buy. So when she started going out with Zachariah, the orphan who had a small apartment above a bar, her parents were less than thrilled. When he left, Delilah’s parents were quick to arrange a marriage to a successful local farmer’s son. There she lived for a few years, becoming pregnant and giving birth to a son. And to all outside, she appeared to be content. However, when Zachariah came back to town and left without speaking to her, it lit a fire in her. She tried to leave to go after him, but her husband told her no. So she killed him.

## In Story

### Poison on the River

Talia is drinking on a pleasure ferry when she is joined by woman named Delilah. After introducing herself, she asks if Talia is indeed the Reaper. Delilah claims that she was stood up by someone who's supposed to meet her on the ship and she buys Talia drink. Talia brings the cup to her lips but doesn't drink. They're joined by Seline who reads Delilah's fortune in the cards. Delilah also buys Seline a drink. Delilah and Seline continue to talk while Seline sips at her drink. Talia returns and find Seline a bit more affected by the whiskey than they expect. They returned to the cabin for the rest of the afternoon. In the evening, there's some dancing in the forward end of the ship and Seline and Talia attend. At some point during the dancing Seline and Talia get dizzy. Talia is able to shake it off before she catches Seline when she falls. Seline notices that her side is bleeding as Talia carries her back to their room. On the way, someone shoots at them and uses a smoke bomb to cover their escape. The captain arrives and Talia is aggravated about being shot. In the room, Talia discovers that she has also been stabbed but the poison isn't affecting her as it is Seline. After 10 minutes Seline appears to be recovering. Ship’s doctor arrives and dresses their wounds. Then DMP arrives and take Talia statements. The DMP post a guard at their door they lock up for the night. They figure out that Delilah might have poisoned them. When leaving the room in the morning, Talia almost gets shot in the face by a shot gun on her booby trapped door. She finds that the DMP door guard has been killed.  Seline is wrapping the body in linen when they hear the engines stop.  Talia and Seline come out on deck only to notice the fuel's been dumped overboard. Seline goes to talk to Delilah while Talia watches from a distance. Seline tries to get Delilah to admit poisoning them to no avail so they wait. Later, Delilah stops to talk with Seline. When Seline leaves to read tarot cards, Delilah deftly swaps their drinks. After Seline drinks, she collapses and Talia puts her guns against the back of Delilah's head. Talia shouts for a medic but one of the DMP show up first. Delilah attempts to charm Talia and the DMP member. Unfazed by the spell Talia shoots Delilah in the shoulder. More DMP show up with a medic. They get Talia to holster Punishment and lower Retribution. When Delilah attempts to make her escape with her charmed DMP member, Talia rushes her. Talia manages to knock Delilah down and her shotgun away. She shoots the Delilah in the other shoulder. After the antitoxins restore Seline, she casts cure wounds on a bound Delilah. Seline also tries Zone of Truth but it doesn't affect Delilah. Delilah admits to trying to kill our adventurers because they got to Zachariah first. When Talia asks if she can fatally shoot Delilah, the DMP members mysteriously find tasks elsewhere in the ship. Delilah quickly decides to renegotiate her position and our adventurers demand the truth. Delilah said she came from a good family when she became enamored with the orphaned Zachariah. She thought he was ready to propose just before he disappeared. After that, her parents married her off to a wealthy man. Later she hears that Zachariah returned without saying hello. Seline tells Delilah, Zachariah saw Delilah was happy and decided not to interfere and had no idea about how unhappy she was. Delilah wanted to pursue Zachariah to give him a piece of her mind but her husband fatally decided to forbid it. Delilah spent the next 3 years tracking Zachariah down. She catches up with him just in time to see him hang.  Seline and Talia decide not to kill her, Talia shoots her again in the shoulder to fake Delilah's execution. She then strongly suggests next time she needs money to ask and not to come at them again. Delilah jumps out the window.

## Trivia

> Delilah was another excellent on the fly creation of mine 😁 just wish I had remembered her accent later lol... @(Megzie) I remember seeing the recognition on your face at the name and then me having the realization of \*where\* I had used that name before and it was just so \*\*\*\*\*\*\* perfect!... Originally she was going to be a one night stand that Talia couldn't remember and she was going to try and take Seline out of the picture out of jealousy. When I said the name "Delilah" though Megzie had this look of horror and recognition and I immediately knew I messed up 😂
