Notes 

• Boddynock Stotch is a former bard at the Bloodthirsty Pelican in Seraphine, Nordwood before beginning his career as an adventurer that has taken him across the Known World. He has fought pirates, he's dealt with the undead, he has battled a demon or two. The name he has made for himself is a combination of a fair amount of wit, a talent for the pan pipes, and the ability to attach himself to famous heroes of the realm who got more credit than he did. He still does pretty well for a gnome.
• While he is not a full-time tinkerer or artificer, Boddynock does have the gnomish knack and has a few infused items on his person, including his bag of holding and his customized 'Goggles of Magical Detection' that allows him to detect arcane energies without having to immediately expend some of his energies.
• Is now semi-retired as a 'Gnomish Ambassador' and an operator of the 'Gnomish Embassy' located near a seaport that attracts adventurers across all walks of life in the Known World. Like many gnomes, Boddynock generally maintains an open door policy, allowing travelers and adventurers access to the grounds in order to conduct business, send and receive mail, and find sanctuary in between adventures.
