“Flymm's Cobblers. Walk in a pauper, strut out a duke.„
Overview[edit | edit source]
Flymm's Cobblers is a small building just south of the Stormshore Armoury through the Lower City Central Wall gate. It serves as both a shoemaking store and home to the Flymm family.
The only entrance is at X: -34 Y: -110, half-hidden under the overhanging first floor of the house. The building has no basement.
The ground floor is a cobbler's store, where both owners are located. The first floor is comprised of a bedroom, kitchen, and workshop.
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Upon entering the store, a passive 
DC 7 Perception check highlights the portrait of 
Enver Gortash on the wall above the counter. Unlike mass-printed posters all around the city, this is a painted picture and any interacting party member comments on it.[2]
The store owners, 
Dravo and 
Sally Flymm, if spoken to, are revealed as Gortash's parents. The dialogue with both offers and option to roll a DC 10 Detect Thoughts check. A successful check results in markedly different options.
Dravo's mind appears clear and empty, but Sally responds to the attempt with a faint cry for help. If the interacting party member then uses Illithid dialogue option (without any checks), they learn that both are tadpoled, the worm blocking their true identity from breaking out. Sally can then be questioned to shed some light on Gortash's personality and Machiavellian path to power.
On the first floor, a locked chest is next to the bed. It requires either a 
key carried by Sally or a DC 20 Sleight of Hand check to open. Inside is some minor loot and a 
Scrapbook of Letters, which is actually a collection of missives between Gortash and the 
Dark Urge about initiating the Dead Three's power-ascending plot. However, if one is playing as the Dark Urge origin, reading it does not add anything to their personal quest.[verify] It does, however, progress all quests which concern 
Orpheus and / or 
Raphael, as it mentions 
Helsik as one who can provide a portal into the Nine Hells.
The ground floor and the first floor rooms can be looted for several pairs of common shoes, all of which are red-outlined. Also, both Sally and Dravo can be pickpocketed for a hefty sum of gold (over 1500 each).
Companion interactions[edit | edit source]
If 
Karlach is in the party, she reacts rather sarcastically to meeting Gortash's parents. If the party have successfully interrogated Sally about her story and the story of her son, Karlach afterwards prompts a dialogue. She remarks that the way Gortash betrayed her may be the result of how his parents regarded him and what they eventually did to him. Still, this fact does not excuse him the slightest in her eyes.
Outside the building[edit | edit source]
There are several NPC vignettes placed around Flymm's Cobblers.
- On a porch to the west of the shop
Honest Vendor offers 'protection charms' to ward off the Absolute. Unsurprisingly, his 'charms' are simply mundane, non-magical rings and necklaces. Two gilded chests standing beneath his stall keep the same common valuables. 
Civilian seeks his help to save her fiance from the cult, but is reluctant to buy his goods openly. - Under the archway of the Lower City Central Wall the Flaming Fist patrol of
Larche, 
Nephel, 
Shargil and a 
Steel Watcher has detained several citizens - 
Burzenberg, 
Moorino and 
Courier Hara. The automaton scans each civilian one by one, while the guards order them (and the party) to stay calm and obey their instructions. - If the Steel Watch Foundry is destroyed, the aforementioned patrol and all detained citizens disappear. Instead, after a Long Rest, two children,
Markiza and 
Doober, come to look at and possibly play with the remains of the Watcher. Both are fascinated by the broken machine, but Markiza mentions a rotten smell coming from it.
