The '''Flind''' is a hostile [[gnoll]] warlord in [[The Risen Road#Cave|The Risen Road Cave]] just west of [[The Risen Road]] [[Waypoint]] during [[Act One]]. Unique among gnolls for having become part [[fiend]], thus not counting as a [[humanoid]].  


The warlord is one of the highest hitting enemies within the first act and comes with a wide mix of attack choices to unleash.

The Flind is the warlord of a vicious band of gnolls found gathered outside of [[The Risen Road#Cave|The Risen Road Cave]]. The gnolls have trapped [[Rugan]] and [[Olly]], who are transporting good for [[Zarys]] in the surrounded cave.

After the first round of combat, the gnoll warlord will mentally link with the player, revealing that she is a forcefully made [[True Soul]]. The creature can be convinced to join the players' side for the fight using [[Illithid Powers|Illithid Persuasion]], if it hasn't been used that day.

Line 130: Line 102:
The best way to engage Flind is to sneak up behind her and sneak attack the Hunters in front of her to start the battle. On her first turn, she should initiate conversation with whoever is closest to her. It's important that Flind is able to initiate conversation on her first turn to make sure she is targeted by her pack as early as possible, so make sure you are close enough to her that she can talk to you immediately.

When alone, direct combat with Flind is avoidable if you are able to pass two Wisdom checks to get her to kill herself. If that option is unavailable, Flind is incredibly dangerous up close; in her frenzied state she can easily kill multiple party members in a single turn.  A decent strategy to fight her is to restrict her movement with spells like [[Grease]], [[Web]] and [[Entangle]] then pelt her at range.
