I swooped down and hit tame beast- BEFORE I EVEN SAW SKOLL!!! He pounced on me and I backed up breaking the tame.
I hit "Tame Beast" again, he pounced again. I couldn't see my tame progress bar because of the darn NPC Scan icon so I just prayed no one else was under the trees with me.
The hearts went up, the yellow spiral swirled around and there he was, one very unhappy Spirit Beast.I looked at him and said "Well, now what do I do with you?" He looked up at me with his mouth hanging open. "I should name you Ed" I thought to myself.
I then apologized to a guildmate who had been wanting Skoll for a very long time. She was in Felwood, she never would've made it to Storm Peaks in time.
I fed the Beast and flew around looking for the TLPD. Oh well. Drake wasn't around and I got a new pet.
Have a happy and safe holiday everyone :)
