Traits

Elite Bodyguards.Vanya is usually accompanied by two Gilded Sentinels. While at least one is within 5 feet of her, she has half cover.

Actions

Multiattack.Vanya makes two attacks with her Aether-charged rapier.
Aether-charged Rapier.Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) force damage.
Supply Drop (Recharge 5-6).Vanya calls in a crate at a point within 30 feet. The crate either explodes (DC 15 Dexterity save, 28 (8d6) fire damage) or provides a buff to allies within 10 feet (+2 to AC and attack rolls for 1 minute).

Appearance

Madam Vanya is an aristocratic human woman with a sharp, bird-like face and jewelry made from polished, multi-colored desert glass. She wears the finest Kigum fashions—liquid silks and refined Aether-gems—looking entirely out of place in the dusty, harsh environment of Fortune's Lake.

Personality

Cold, condescending, and ruthlessly efficient, Vanya views the frontier as a resource to be harvested and the indigenous Sun-Striders as a nuisance to be managed. she speaks with a cultured Kigum accent that drips with disdain for "the unwashed."

Secret Motives

Vanya is the primary financial launderer for the Vulture Syndicate. She uses her position within the Kigum Trading Company to supply Boss Kargo with experimental Aether-weaponry and tactical data in exchange for exclusive rights to the region's rare water aquifers and ancient Elven salvage.

Combat Tactics

Vanya fights with a pair of highly trained "Gilded Sentinel" constructs that act as her personal bodyguards. She uses an Aether-charged rapier for self-defense and can call in "Supply Drops"—crates containing either explosive traps or powerful alchemical buffs for her allies.
