Percy was the one that Vex allowed herself to drop her guard around when she told him about her upbringing and how it deeply affected her growing up, after which Percy did his best to reassure her. He eventually finished his customization of the broom before they departed for the Feywild, renaming it Death from Above. Īfter Vex stole Gern Blanston's Broom of Flying and fell from it, Percy began modifying it to add a strap so Vex wouldn't end up separated from the broom when falling, as well as stabilizing leg grips to aid in her archery aim while flying. But while Percy felt he owed Vex because he triggered the trap, Vex felt a sense of freedom after experiencing death, understanding how important it was to seize opportunities in life. Percy felt immense guilt for his negligence and had to apologize profusely to her twin brother Vax'ildan as well as Vex herself. However, Percy and Vex's eagerness to loot Purvan Suul's sarcophagus led to Vex dying from a necrotic explosive trap. Percy had to convince Vex to give him the money needed with a promise to make her something nice. Percy and Vex's friendly yet flirtatious relationship during their time together had also led to moments such as purchasing black powder from Victor. Death, Rebirth, and Flightįan art of Percy and Vex'ahlia relaxing with Trinket, by Hugo Cardenas. And when Percy was fighting the temptations of Orthax, Vex begged for Percy to fight the monster inside him. When they fought the Briarwoods at the Ziggurat, and Vex had plummeted to the ground after nearly getting killed by Lady Briarwood's Finger of Death spell, Percy shot off her arm in retribution-rendering Delilah unconscious-and jumped down to help save the ranger. Despite the temptation, Vex refrained from looting his family home, and after Percy had killed Professor Anders, she reached out to him out of concern.

When in Whitestone, after killing Kerrion Stonefell, she gave Percy a peck on the cheek, assuring him that he wouldn't have to face his darkness alone.

When Percy revealed his past to the group about the Briarwoods, Vex was among the first to show her support in helping him deal with the villainous power couple. It was ever since his first gift to her that Vex started having feelings for the gunslinger but, like Percy, kept those feelings buried within her. The results of the tinkering earned him a kiss from the ranger. From time to time, Percy was eager to create custom ammunition for Vex, Hawkeye-style, such as when he made her a grappling hook arrow and three exploding arrows. Percy developed an infatuation for Vex early on in their relationship, but had kept it to himself and buried his feelings deep down because he never considered them being together to be "healthy". Percy would later think of Vex's greed as endearing. Since then, the two had immediately established a rapport, including Percy giving all of his money to her from the day they first met. īack when the group that would later become Vox Machina sought to save Grog from being a lich's phylactery, Vex'ahlia first met Percy in a dank prison cell, the gunslinger having been imprisoned after he had tried and failed to kill Anna Ripley.
