"I will take the first and second watch." Syvis says. He puts his bow away and helps make camp, setting up fire and pulling out bedrolls. He makes some more goodberries before they head for rest.
“I will take the last watch, as part of my worship of the Dawnflower requires I observe the sunrise whenever possible,” volunteers Randall, settling in for an early night.

"Now, just to be clear, Grim just growled at a Worg and made it calm the f down?" Ceo asks with an incredulous look at Grim feeding the Worg.
OOC: Did Grim just get a pet Worg?
"There lives inside of me this wild and vicious animal that I wrestle with every hour of every day to keep under control. Sometimes it'll look out through my eyes at someone" Grim says with a sly smile "I've been told that the experience can be . . . disconcerting"
(In the interest of fun and the rule of cool I am going to have Grim roll a series of Animal Handling checks when I call for them. This is due to the unusual combat it survived where it's allies just dropped. If he collects 3 successes before he collects 3 failures then he has formed a bond with the worg.)
As you toss the worg some meat make an Animal Handling check with advantage vs. DC 13.
(OOC "It's just such a well worn trope that I couldn't resist! The scary looking good guy facing ferocious animal and the animal figures out which one of them is Alpha. Chronicles of Riddic, "It's an animal thing."
Really wasn't expecting to roll that well (certainly wouldn't have expected based on some of the rolls I've been getting lately, but that's a different (whiny) story). So I thought "Let's take this 20 out for a spin and see what kind of mileage it gets.)
The 3 successes or 3 failures thing will work sort of like death saves. If you get 3 failures it means the worg has turned feral and must be put down. If you roll a nat 1 and it already has 1 or more failures it gets a surprise attack against you. (A 'biting the hand that feeds it' sort of thing.) If you roll a nat 20 it will form a bond of friendship with the creature.
(OOC Oh, more than fair. I'm excited to see how this plays out)
Syvis casually throws a goodberry for Grim's worg. After setting the fire, he throws his bow and arrow behind his back and finds a large tree by the campsite that he can climb up on, and sits down on one sturdy branch that he can keep an eye out from above.
Helping to pick out a good campsite, Randall looks for one that is relatively flat and on higher ground than surrounding terrain in case of rain. He also looks for a good location for observing the sunrise.

Grim watches Syvis throwing a goodberry to the Worg and it makes him smile. He's just going to sit back against a tree, keep eyes out and watch the Worg.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Perception: 17
Syvis enjoys the mostly silent company of Grim and his worg. He takes the time to sharpen every single one of his arrows, after two hours is up he reminds Grim, "Go to sleep.", and finishes up his second watch.
Ceo opens his eyes and sits up, his hair sticking out at all angles. He looks around and will climb up the same tree where Syvis held his watch, however he will akternate every ten minutes or so to a scimitar shaped tree that has a decent view as wel with the added bonus of perfectly supporting his back.

If the watch is uneventful, he will wake the next person on watch and try to snuggle into the Worg.
Brother Randall of Lathander pulls on his armor and makes sure his shield and mace are close at hand, then tends to the fire and quietly sets up breakfast for cooking—after sunrise of course. Thanks to his setup last night, he is prepared as the first rays of sunrise touch the tops of the trees.
Sighing happily, the priest performs his morning rituals as Lathander’s golden light slowly descends praying, then rising to his feet and opening his arms wide as the warming sunlight bathes his face. Turning and smiling at Bow, he looks around at the newly lit landscape, transformed by his God’s holy light.

Woken up on a nice bed of mosh, Bow takes some time stretching before sitting up against one of the large trees at the back of the campsite, making sure to imbue his handbow that will not leave his hands for the rest of the day; assuming trouble; he takes 2 damage in the process. He looks curious at Randall's morning rituals and gives a weak smile back.

As always, the pre-dawn light wakes Grim, momentarily confused, then annoyed with himself how deeply he slept all things considered. He sees Ceo and the Worg snuggled together, asleep and it brings a smile to his face.
Grim begins his own morning ritual, finding joy in watching the sunrise, wanting to share it with the Worg and the still sleeping Ceo.
For Ceo
You wake up to Grim talking softly to the Worg "my name is Grim, Grim Greycastle, Grim . . . Greycastle is where I was raised . . . the sunrise always fills my heart with such joy." the Worg doesn't seem to respond.
You hear him speaking again, but it sounds like one side of a conversation, with a lot of "I don't understand . . . " and "but of course." and ending with "I am , as always, your humble servant."
"I'll take first watch and possibly more as well" Grim says. He takes one of the game animals he caught and leads Worg about 30 feet away from the others before throwing it to the creature. The two watch each other while it eats.

Can I Help him or form a bond with it too? Or Inspire him with a poem or a song?
Farewell.
True, I'll just give him an extra d6 for his roll.
