Session VII: Quid-Pro-Mole Report

General Summary

Continuing their exploration of the city of Rambergam, the party picked up an additional request from Devdan Loracyne, owner of Urbane Outfitters, who immediately took a liking to Retired Captain Calico Jack. Jack requested a stain/water resistant outfit, Devdan enthusiastically took measurements, and offered to make the outfit for Jack on the house if he would go retrieve the silk produced by a unique species of glowworm that lives beneath the Daylight Chamber. Jack requested that an umbrella sword be thrown in, but Devdan could only supply the umbrella -- he recommended speaking with Gralgrani, the smith, about the sword part. 
Horxim explored the town and discovered the monument to the War of Bloody Shores, engraved with The Codes of Prehn as well as Shul's Shrikes and met Captain Ishbel, with whom Retired Captain Calico Jack had a bit of a flirtation. He was able to get a map pointing to the location of the glowworms, as the Shrikes usually handle its retrieval for Devdan, but are too short-handed given the hostilities at the border. Calico Jack promised to return to Ishbel to discuss the party's "subcontractor" status. 
Wiinken left her sending stone with the enchanter Pydyvoc at The Stonespeaker, who promised to run some tests.
Feeling a sense of foreboding about their trip into the caverns beneath the Daylight Chamber, Zenora returned to Eli & Xir's and purchased some Alchemist's Fire.
Finally feeling prepared, the party set off into the darkness below, where they encountered one of their objectives; an excavation mole. However, in battling the mole, another subterranean predator emerged. Zenora tickled the belly of the mole with scorching rays of fire until it was no more, with Horxim landing the final blow and collecting its spilt blood. 
The asshole tankadillo proved to be a formidable foe, lulling the party into a false sense of security by burrowing into the mountain only to reemerge suddenly and launch itself at the party, landing a stunning blow that knocked Wiinken and Horxim down and pushed the rest of the party backward. However, thanks to Wiinken's healing golden showers, the party was able to outlast the creature, which tunneled away and disappeared -- at least, for now. 
Having collected the excavator mole's blood, the party now need only collect the silk of the glowworms in order to achieve their objectives -- that, and return to the Daylight Chamber alive.

Character(s) interacted with

• Devdan Loracyne: The party met Devdan Loracyne, owner of Urbane Outfitters, who was quite taken with Retired Captain Calico Jack. He mentioned Tabaxi enclaves in Prehn. He also asked the party to retrieve the silk of a rare species of glowworm found under the Daylight Chambers; he promised to make Calico Jack a stain-and-water-resistant outfit in return and opened a nearly unlimited line of credit for Wiinken. 
• Pydyvoc: Unsure what to do with her sending stone, Wiinken left it in the care of Pydyvoc for the time being, who has promised to run some tests to determine whether it really is reaching across the divide between life and death.
• Xir: Zenora returned to Eli & Xir's and purchased a bottle of Alchemist's Fire.
