Harr"owl"ing!

[crossface07]

So I logged in tonight after a great night with friends to find Ban circling the tree my poor dwarf had been sacked up in for the past few days. Now, mind you, dwarves already have a natural fear of heights, as well as an uncanny inability to park proto-drakes at the top of twigly trees, so you can imagine what kind of height envy I was already suffering. Now, upon logging in, not only did Ban happen to be doing laps around my tree, but I had been roasting the proverbial "hot dog on a stick" in the form of my Perky Pug, and my mastiff Deckard. I shakingly dismissed Deckard, and let my little cocktail frank bark up a storm as I set my trap, mounted, flew up, forgot what to do, dismounted, shot him, panicked, and THEN remebered my ice trap, drank a potion, and was promptly served a Banny can 'O whoop ***. Dejected, and fearing Pally, Mage, and DK hate from below, I flew back and spent 7 minutes reminding myself that proto drakes are the mental twin of a dog that chases parked cars. I finally thought I was good, dismounted and...oh, I am a ghost (rinse, repeat 2 times) again. My heart has officially stopped at this point, and all I can see is my hand burned from the seething rage that my moniter will suffer if another mage/pally combo treat Ban to a conjured death wish. I find my tree lay my trap, fly up, hit a shot, drop down, chug a potion, forget my name, address, pets name, and the fact I have neighbors who sleep, and tame...then the ice trap breaks again upon tame...(more dots)...and Ban forgets his to drink take his caffeine/moonfire drink and= no moonfire! Tame, cry, run about the house due to coronary stoppage, and name Bubo...and on a side note, he must hate heights, because he fell to the ground after he swore his pet oath leaving me to climb down alone...what a nite![img]JPEG%20Image%20(.jpg)[/img]

Gratz on your tame in the end, it sounded hectic!

Love the retelling, makes my owl taming look absolutely um tame. Glad everything worked out in the end! Congrats!

grats on your owly, & I'm wondering, when you go up just enough to shoot, with ice-trap down, do you tame as you land &/or deterrence + tame as you land on the tree so he hits the trap?

I did it by laying the trap down on the tree, fly up, shoot and drop right back down on the tree. Started to cast tame immediately as I landed and it hit the trap during the tame. I think this is definitely the easy way to go. Unless you also do like I did and killed myself while MD'n it to another guild hunter so he could tame it, lol

After replaying it in my head, remember above all else to get out of auto attack mode. After shooting him, hit escape, beacause that's what broke the ice trap. Frazzled nerves and shakey hands make for a tough time remembering, but I was darn lucky that he was not moonfire happy that 2nd time.
