Morning!

I'm probably biased about this, but a Flind Gnoll blacksmith turned tank adventurer sounds like a comfortable place to game. Although I know gnolls generally don't tend towards the think-first school of combat (or anything else), Flinds seem to be 'gnoll upgrades', as it were. I don't think a skilled occupation like smithing would be beyond them, either in physical ability or sticking to the job. Besides, my story won't make nearly as much sense as Boethermsbrukan being a blacksmith initially, than not.
