Escella can see through her darkness when it is cast using sorcery points. It's a feature of her sorcery origin: Shadow Magic. I see now she should use it hide inside and shoot EBs out of.

LOL Dandin would do that, but is kind of preoccupied.

I admit I like the idea, and story-wise, it was already partly trained by the orcs (it just didn't like getting a hot collar or being stuck in a space that it couldn't figure out why it couldn't leave, and probably held a grudge against that particular orc - always better handled by the ogress.) Combine all THAT with the boon of the elk (the elk's whole being is a spirit of calm and kindness)....
But I don't just want to give you a bear with no restrictions. For now, you can lead him along back to the manor-house. I'll think about it.

Alright. Works for me for now. Hmm, I actually have been looking around for a second and don't see any easy way to earn an animal companion of any kind. The ranger can get one at lv 3 but that's a pretty hefty dip into a class that doesn't do much good for Dandin's playstyle. Dunno.

Not to mention, unless I let you rebuild Dandin (say, on level-up, with 3 levels of Ranger and 2 of Bard, built from scratch doing your best to still feel like Dandin - which I don't know how easy that would be) Adding three levels of ranger to him one-at-a-time will take many, many months of PBP play (possibly years). It's pretty much out of the question.
If you like tinkering with characters, though, see what you can do with building a level 5 Dandin using UA Beastmaster Ranger 3 and Bard 2. Any chance that it would seem AT ALL like Dandin? I'm curious.

I can poke around I guess. I really was looking forward to Vard 5 though. 3rd level spells and all that. Give ne a bit of time to sort it out.
Just a suggestion: wouldn't casting Animal Friendship 1/day be a start? That doesn't get a full combat fighter, but certainly creates the circumstances for an ongoing relationship.
Have we abandoned the idea to pursue right away (without a rest, but maintaining stealth)? Fine, if so, but we should say so.

I mean, there's no reason you'd need to go that way if it's not satisfying. I'm just curious as to what it might look like. I expect he'll be WAY too competent a fighter to seem like Dandin, not that the little guy is any slouch with his shawmsword.

How long the Pass w/o Trace last again?
