5th Order Animal Companions

The 5th Order has a number of animal companions in their retinue, all with distinct personalities and characteristics (as all animals have). The following is a list of their pets and companions, along with the animal's history, personality, and training.

## Physical description

### Weight

125lbs

Keynne's animal companion and close friend; Baesmor is a Snow Leopard from the Grymkymal Mountains above the Eastern Steppe. Keynne saved Baesmor from a group of goblin trappers, who had injured his leg and forced him into a slave-cage on the back of a cart. After Keynne took out the goblins, she freed Baesmor and tended to his wounds. He has trusted and followed her ever since.

#### Personality

**Quiet:** Baesmor is quiet and reserved - often aloof. This makes him exceptionally talented in stealth missions, though not the most entertaining play mate for Owlbear. Occasionally, when he's in a good mood or out of patience, He'll engage in a wrestle with the bear, relying on his agility and wit over strength. Baesmor does not trust anyone but Keynne, and will only obey her commands.

**Bond Strength:** 10 (Small Sentinel)\*

#### Training

* **Attack:** Baesmor will attack whatever creature or group of creature's he is commanded to, so long as he isn't frightened.
* **Keen Smell:** Baesmor helps an ally search for something using his keen senses.
* **Hide:** Baesmor tries to blend in to his surroundings.
* **Scout:** Baesmor scouts ahead, remaining hidden, and using beast bond to relay what he's seen.

### Cairigh

A ewe taken from the flock at Burgundine Manor, Caerbannog has taken a liking to the animal and even had a custom suit of barding crafted. Due to caerbannog's small size, he can ride Cairigh with relative ease, and often casts fly on the sheep to travel in style.

#### Personality

**Relaxed:** Cairigh has seen a lot, and is not easily rattled by the sounds of battle, dangerous enemies, or even flying. The disadvantage is Cairigh's lack of urgency. Don't expect her to flee at any remarkable pace from a bad situation.

**Bond Strength:** 6 (Sharing is Caring)\*

#### Training

* **Ram:** Cairigh rams the nearest enemy, using the shove action to push them prone.
* **Ride:** Cairigh is comfortable being ridden by a small or tiny creature.
* **Fly:** Cairigh has learned to maneuver in the air, as long as a creature is steering.

### Goodhorse

Goodhorse is Stevyn's mount from the town of Contrefort. Goodhorse has been all around the continent, even remaining in the Eastern Steppe alone for over a week.

#### Personality

**Relaxed:** Goodhorse is not easily fazed, mostly because he doesn't care. Despite his young age, he is old at heart, and doesn't seem to worry about much - besides sugar cubes, that'll make his ears perk up.

**Bond Strength:** 5 (On the Lookout)\*

#### Training

* **Summon:** Goodhorse responds to Stevyn's whistle, trotting over whenever he hears it. He is also responsive to the Summon Steed spell, appearing in a random location near Stevyn with a disinterested whinny.

## Physical description

### Owlbear

Owlbear is a rambunctious young Owlbear, adopted after his mother was exterminated for slaughtering sheep near Burgundine Manor. His favorite food is Goblin, with started with the killing of Keynne's slave; Bait.

#### Personality

**Energetic:** Owlbear is a non-stop engine of excitement and chaos. He cannot reasonably be left unattended, lest he tear his surroundings apart out of sheer boredom. He enjoys chasing small animals, and anything that makes loud, high-pitched noises. His favorite activity is wrestling with Bjorn in Bear form.

**Bond Strength:** 6 (Sharing is Caring)\*

#### Training

* **Grapple:** Owlbear grapples the nearest enemy, thanks to his training with Bjorn.
* **Attack:** Owlbear attacks the nearest enemy, using his claws and beak.
* **Lookout:** Owlbear keeps watch, using his keen owl eyes and bear scent.

## Physical description

### Tonitrus

Tonitrus is Bhaegar's warhorse - a gray Galleon stallion. His massive stature and stoic demeanor match that of his rider quite well, and they make for an imposing duo on the battlefield.

#### Personality

**Brave:** Tonitrus lives for the surge of adrenaline that only battle gives. To run fast, strike fear, and revel in his own strength - that is the life of any warrior. He gets restless when he has not been worked hard; kicking his stall and chewing the boards to get attention.

**Bond Strength:** 4 (On the Lookout)

#### Training

* **Trample:** Tonitrus charges at the enemies, making the shove attack as an action to knock them flat.
* **Rear:** Tonitrus rears on his hind feet and whinnies - an impressive sound, more like a roar. He can then make an intimidation check once per day.
