THUNDERLIPS! AM WILLING TO TAKE LEVEL OF HUNTER TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
JUST THIS WEEK, THUNDERLIPS! HAD CHANCE TO PROVE HIS INFLUENCE TO SEVERAL FINE LADIES OF ABSALOM. THEY WERE ALL IMPRESSED BY TONDERNOTTER AS IS RIGHT AND PROPER. NOT ONCE DID THUNDERLIPS! NEED TO SLAP TONDERNOTTER UPSIDE A GUARD'S FACE SINCE THEY ALL RECOGNIZED ME FOR THE MAN OF INFLUENCE THAT THUNDERLIPS! AM. THUNDERLIPS! LOVE THE LADIES. THEY LOVE ME RIGHT BACK.
BUT SOON, AS THE ADVENTURE TO INTRODUCE ULFEN LINEAGE TO THESE LADIES CONTINUED, THUNDERLIPS! ENCOUNTERED A SANGUINE BEAST THE LIKES OF WHICH MADE MY HEART FLUTTER. EVEN MORE THAN MADELINE BLAKROS, MY BELOVED.
THE TROLLHOUND.
SO BEAUTIFUL. SO POWERFUL. SUCH AN ATTITUDE. SO LIKE OLD WOMAN BLAKROS. WHY CAN THUNDERLIPS! NOT HAVE ONE FOR A COMPANION? THUNDERLIPS! IS WILLING TO MAKE GREAT SACRIFICE (SEE ABOVE) TO LOCATE THIS MAGNIFICENT SANGUINE BEAST TO ROAM ABSALOM WITH. WE WOULD DO GREAT DEEDS FOR MALODOROUS! LIKE I DID FOR LADY GORILLA! THUNDERLIPS! ALWAYS WILLING TO SHAKE DOWN PEOPLE SELLERS FOR MONEY. THUNDERLIPS! AND TROLLHOUND WOULD SPREAD INFLUENCE EVERYWHERE WE WENT! LONG WALKS ON THE DOCKS... TEARING APART GNOLLS... LOVING THE LADIES...
I WOULD LOVE HIM, AND PET HIM, AND SQUEEZE HIM, AND NAME HIM hamaria.
THUNDERLIPS! HEARS THERE IS A MAN MORE POWERFUL THAN THE CARPET SELLER VALSIN IN THE PATHFINDER SOCIETY. THIS MAN OF INFLUENCE GOES BY THE NAME JOHN COMPTON. HE EVEN HAS FUNNY TITLE AFTER JOHN COMPTON! THOUGH, THUNDERLIPS! IS ADMITTEDLY CONFUSED BY DEVELOPER BEING BIGGER THAN CAPTAIN. SOMETIMES GOLARION NOT MAKE SENSE TO THUNDERLIPS! WHAT DOES MAKE SENSE IS THUNDERLIPS! WITH A TROLLHOUND COMPANION.
HOW DOES THUNDERLIPS! ACQUIRE SUCH A SANGUINE BEAST COMPANION?

This is an outrage and I feel your pain, longshanks. Surely you should be able to tame the cutest of all dogs--the trollhound--and claim one as your boon companion. Clearly this "society" of ours is being punitive and prejudiced against us animal inclined gentlemen.
Why, just last week I found myself exploring some ruins in the Mwangi Expanse and encountered a cuddly creature of my own. While my companions shied away, cowards they were, it was love at first sight for Little Rukk. This adorable little pudgy beast needed a home, and I was happy to provide one. So what that if its gaze turned my wolverine to stone. That's not ol' Stinkeye's fault! He just wanted to play fetch and eat kobold jerky. And there ain't nothing wrong with that in my book. But noooooo, Little Rukk can't have a basilisk as an animal companion because they're "too strong."
Freaking bullshit man.
Anyway, you've got my support if you wanna torch the Grand Lodge or whatever.

We just finished rebuilding the lodge from the last time that happened.
Could you at least go tear down the Silver Crusade's joint?
Please?

Sure I dinnae know what ye mean by that, lass, but I dinnae take kindly to anyone sending gobbos to burn down me comrades' home.

"By Aroden... um... Abadar, let that not happen. Verily, I shall defend the honor of the Silver Crusade unto my very life, for to protect the honor of Lady Ollysta Zadrian.
"Stay thee away, you barbaric warrior. And keepest thy foul beasts from the fair Society for which we toil. One should think that yon THUNDERLIPS! would be better suited to the Dark Archive, for they mayst be better prepared to handle his random outbursts"

Now, now, friends, surely we have better things to do than burn each others' houses. Why, I hear that our dear colleagues in the Aspis Consortium are busily beating us to choice ruins in the Mwangi Expanse, where THUNDERLIPS! could surely find foes to test his mettle. As well as the natural habitat of the trollhound, unless I'm much mistaken. We certainly have better to occupy our time than idle threats against our fellows.

THUNDERLIPS! PREFERS LEAST VIOLENT METHOD OF OBTAINING TROLLHOUND COMPANION. SEE THE GREAT SACRIFICE THUNDERLIPS! IS PREPARED TO MAKE.
TROLLHOUND HAVE BETTER ARMOR CLASS THAN THUNDERLIPS!
TROLLHOUND HAVE BETTER WAYS TO COMBAT TRIP AND BULL RUSH ATTEMPTS.
TROLLHOUND... YOU COMPLETE THUNDERLIPS!

Sweety, having a troll hound is a big responsibility. You have to remember to walk them three times a day or it gets really messy. You have to remember to feed them four times a day or they get a little cranky, chew through the ropes and start eating people... so you can't forget even once.
Maybe you should try starting with a pet that requires a little less upkeep like a. Ah.. uhm..."
She takes a little peice of clay and molds it, sculpting a nearby rock into a face with smiling teeth
"Mr Rocky might last a little longer and be safer. A little.

Shaking his head as he listens to the barbarian.
First, you and your betrothed make a mess out of the lodge, and now you WANT a trollhound? WHAT SANE PERSON WOULD WANT TO HAVE O-O-NE OF THOSE THINGS AS A PET?!
Hearing Kendrick's thought on the matter, the Sylph snaps his fingers and walks up to THUNDERLIPS!.
Kendrick is right, there should be some sort of trollhound nests in the expanse... Maybe you can find a pup, and care for it all on your own?

NOBODY SAW THAT, RIGHT? WE WON'T TALK ABOUT THAT EVER AGAIN, RIGHT?

THUNDERLIPS! WILL TRAVEL FACE AND BODY OF GOLARION TO BRING HOME TROLLHOUND COMPANION hamaria! IF MWANGI EXPANSE HAS TROLLHOUNDS AVAILABLE, THUNDERLIPS! WILL GO THERE. IF OPPARA HAS TROLLHOUNDS, THUNDERLIPS! WILL TAKE IN AN OPERA. shudder SINCE THUNDERLIPS! WILL ALREADY SACRIFICE BY BECOMING HUNTER... THERE IS NO PLACE THUNDERLIPS! WILL NOT BRAVE FOR TROLLHOUND COMPANION!

THUNDERLIPS! YOU ASK FOR A GREAT GIFT, INDEED. AS YOUR BOON COMPANION, FLUTTER, NOTES, THE TROLLHOUND IS A TEMPERAMENTAL BEAST THAT REQUIRES MUCH CARE AND WOULD OTHERWISE SOIL THE CARPETS OF SKYREACH DURING MISSION BRIEFINGS. IT WOULD EAT THE ASPIRING HALFLINGS WHO WOULD JOIN OUR ILLUSTRIOUS ORGANIZATION. IT WOULD CAST SHAME UPON THE SOCIETY BY ENCOURAGING THE RAMPANT MURDERHOBOISM THAT WE ABHOR.
The voice pauses for a moment, as though the speaker were leaning in for emphasis. WE HATE MURDERHOBOISM, RIGHT, THUNDERLIPS!?
I CANNOT CONDONE THIS SORT OF CREATURE TRAIPSING THE HALLS, ITS STENCH OF FERMENTED OFFAL STAINING THE HALLS AS IT STAINS OUR REPUTATION. I CANNOT ALLOW YOU TO— I, AH… The voice trails off before a shadow-shrouded figure kicks Little Rukk from the balcony and extinguishes the goblin's arson torch.
The voice clears its throat. THUNDERLIPS! I MAY RECONSIDER AND GRANT YOU SPECIAL DISPENSATION TO OWN A TROLLHOUND IN EXCHANGE FOR DRAGGING THIS GOBLIN RASCAL AWAY FROM THE GRAND LODGE WHEN NEXT YOU LEAVE.
EXPLORE, REPORT, COOPERATE!

"While I don't really condone your use of Kobold jerkey, your bravery and restraint with Stinkeye was quite admirable. I will gladly stand at your side again Little Rukk, as our journeys may continue. I too am disappointed that you were not able to keep him, especially as you treated him with much more kindness than your wolverine. It is good to share your journeys with a companion that you value. I myself adopted Sleepy, my dog, into my family. But I believe the main reason it would have been unfair to keep Stinkeye is that he belonged to the kobolds, ones that we dealt with amicably after our misunderstanding at the entrance."

I have to agree with Flutter here.
Some people need to learn how to treat their companions before they are to be allowed to take care of creatures that will rely upon them a lot more.
MAMMOTH...
Wow, that infatuation didn't last long…
He's easy to distract. A trail of meat, raw or cooked: makes no difference, usually gets him home with out too much fuss.

'Trollephant... Trollephant. What sort of lust magic would be required to make that happen.'
"THUNDERLIPS! Buddy! Have I got an idea for you! So, what do you think would happen if you crossed a troll with a wooly mammouth? Or perhaps a trollhound with a wooly mammouth? Would that be something you would want to ride?"
The rat pimp starts giggling to himself, dry washing his hands. There has to be something in this ancient Thassalonian magic he studies that could make this happen.

And don't even try telling me this is overpowered. It's not even a dinosaur.

While I'm not entirely convinced that trollhounds would make good companions or mounts, since I've seen a number of pathfinders riding on more such magical beasts I'm thinking that with a good way to support these disease ridden monstrosities they could be put in the kennels for the special needs companions?

Upon hearing the booming voice an elf enters. The elf has dark red hair that starts at a widow's peak and is slicked back and tied off in a long ponytail. He is wearing red robes that give off an aura of flame with a raven perched on his shoulder.
Speaking in a thick Brevic accent he chuckles, "Normally, I'm the on destroying things, this is something new."
The wizard then produces a foil pouch from his magic sack. He quickly casts a fire cantrip at the sack, causing a frequent popping sound to emit from the pouch. After a couple of minutes he opens the top of the sack creating a small puff of steam and smoke.
He then reaches in and produces some of the fresh popped material and has a couple of bits, giving some to his raven.
He then holds the bag out, "Popcorn anyone? This is about to get interesting."

An aasimar with a resplendent lion-like mane of golden hair and green eyes with pupils like a cat walks in. His clothing appears to be magnificently valuable.
His hands appear to be shirviled and blackened as if they were severely burned recently.
He pulls out several tankards from a magical bag and makes an incantation over them. Shortly they are filled with beer.
"Did someone request the creation of Beer? Cayden grants me the ability to create beer, I will share with all who wish it. While I am happy to provide beer for all who wish to imbibe, I can say I don't think I'd like trollhounds to start being a common occurrence around here. I think that they'd prove quite a bit more difficult to train than the more typical companions I have seen about the lodge."
Squeak! *falls in a mug of beer*
