Gitta’s bedroom is tidy and well kept, almost sparse. A small stack of documents rests on a simple desk—shipping manifests and paperwork from the Fishmonger’s Plant, neatly organized. Most of her clothing is practical and work-worn. In the closet hangs a single dress, carefully stored and untouched, as if it has never been worn.
Gitta Primewater is the niece of Gellan Primewater and lives at the Primewater estate, where she is treated much like an adopted daughter. Despite this privilege, Gitta sees herself as a commoner at heart. She is determined to earn respect through her own work and integrity rather than her family name.
The private chambers are immaculate and meticulously maintained. The bedroom carries a subtle blend of nautical influences and a woman’s careful touch—fine linens, sea-themed décor, and personal details arranged with quiet intention. Just outside the bedroom is a private office belonging to Maris Primewater-Weller, where she conducts her correspondence, planning, and more discreet affairs.
A thorough search of the office reveals a locked desk drawer (DC 12 Dexterity check with thieves’ tools).
Inside is Maris Primewater-Weller’s journal. It contains detailed notes on nearly every person of importance in the village—alliances, rivalries, personal weaknesses, favors owed, and carefully recorded secrets. The journal is less gossip and more ledger: leverage cataloged with intent.
The storage room is clean and orderly, its shelves lined with small, carefully sealed barrels of spiced rum and whisky. These casks are part of the Primewaters’ private reserve, distinct from any goods meant for trade. A narrow set of stairs leads upward to a small loft and Gellan's private office.
Each barrel has a concealed false bottom. While the upper portion contains genuine spiced rum or whisky, the hidden compartment holds either 1d100 + 100 gp or 1d100 assorted gemstones (DM’s choice or roll).
A successful DC 18 Intelligence (Investigation) check reveals the false bottom. The barrel must be examined from below or physically tapped, the tops appear completely full of rum or whisky, and the concealment is deliberately subtle.
This reserve serves as the Primewaters’ emergency fund: wealth hidden in plain sight. The barrels can be quickly loaded onto a ship or accessed when needed. The family believes valuables concealed among the ordinary are often safer than those locked away in a “known” safe.
