He thanks you ”I am Sildar Hallwinter an emissary of the Lord’s Aliance of Neverwinter I came to the town of Phandalin looking for Iarno Albrek, a human wizard and fellow member of the Lords’ Alliance who disappeared shortly after arriving in Phandalin. I was searching the countryside around the town for clues when I was ambushed by these.
"Did you find any clues before you were abducted?"
" I had barely started when I was caught. I heard the tall fellow over there ask about the dwarfs" he indicates Grond. "I got to talk to them before they where shipped out. The had found a map to something called Wave Echo Cave The map and the dwarfs where sent to some place called Cragmaw Castle where the orc leader resides. Um... someone called Kinslayer."

I am sure there will be many questions asked but we can declare this adventure a success. You have reached the first milestone so everyone is now 2nd level
Aeliarin follows his musical inclinations and adds a level of bard.

"What will you do now?"
"I need to get back to Phandelver so that I can contact my masters back in Neverwinter and also recover from my ordeal. While I never found anything explicit about Iarno Albrek's fate it would be a huge coincidence if he was taken by separate group other than the orcs."
Looking at your character sheet it doesn't differentiate between Bard spell slots and Sorcerer spell slots. I assume this means you can cast from either list to any slot?
(That is true. The rules for Multi class spell casters are on PHB page 164. Basically a bard 1/sorc 1 would have the same spell slots available as a Sorc 2 or bard 2)
Fah'lin will search the area and take a Javelin from one of the orcs to replace the one he'd thrown.

"We'll find Kinslayer and your friend. Let us escort you back to town. Have you got anything else that might help?"
Searching this final batch of orcs plus the ones from the dam room you find 26 silver pieces plus the normal weapons and armour. There are some goods of value in the leader's room but they are bulky. You can use the dwarves wagon but as you have no horses it will be a lot of work.
I see what you're trying but it's not quite that simple. Animal Companion is a class defining power that Rangers get at 3rd level so getting something similar from a simple skill use would devalue the Ranger class. That being said I'm willing to let you try but it won't be simple; wolves are not domestic animals (otherwise they'd be dogs) so you will need to keep the creature close by at all times for at least a week. Then make a difficult (DC20) Animal Handling roll to have it bond with you. If the roll fails then take another week but get +2. Keep trying until you succeed. Then you can teach it tricks or whatever.
Until you get that successful roll you are walking around with a wild and dangerous animal. If you take it into town it could easily get spooked and attack someone. So hearing all that do you want to try? If so the most important question would then be... what's its name. I vote for "Puppy".
Note that your group has at least two ways to give you bonuses to a skill roll so that DC20 isn't quite as hard as it looks.
I'm going to track back to where the wolfs from before where

Aeliarin suggests that after this we look through the dung heap. "After all, one man's trash is another man's treasure, as we say in my country."
