Jota Klefunheim

tall, perpetually annoyed, some kind of baroness or princess

Baroness (or princess — even her hire-script does not commit) of Klefunheim, presently "unaffected by the goblin curse but — with those disgusting peasants running around all the time — it's bound to happen." She hires the PCs to uncover and end Galgenbeck's goblin trouble before the trouble reaches her gate, paying 200 silver ("reduced by 20 each day the problem isn't resolved") for the work.

She does not appear in person beyond this hire. She has no stat block. She is a voice on the other side of a desk, paying down by the day.

Gaps / Expansion Notes

Everything past the brief. Her appearance beyond "tall" is unwritten. Whether she has a court, a retinue, a husband, an heir, a guard, an existing rival, or simply a clerk, is GM canvas. The Klefunheim Deathmask in Mikhael the Merchant's wares may be a family good, family heirloom, or family victim — none stated. Her annoyance is the only constant.
