The end of the Amani War Bear is almost upon us.  It’s now only a matter of days until you can never get the fancy shmancy bear mount again.  You’re all well aware that my guild has been working hard in ZA to get at least a Bear or two.

Well, we have been flat out getting it done.  Since our first success roughly two weeks ago, we’ve frigging owned the place.  Well, when I say "we" I’m referring to our guild, I haven’t been part of it.  Not until tonight, anyway.

It turns out the regular Tree that has been going couldn’t make tonight’s run, and yours truly just happens to be second on that nebulous list.  I gladly accepted the invitation to fill the spot.

Well, I will freely admit that I was pretty dang nervous.  They’ve been running this VERY successfully with very nearly the same 10 players each time.  They knew what was what, and they were getting the job done.  The last thing I wanted to do was waltz in and screw up their Mojo.  So from the very start, it was pure white knuckle time.  I checked and rechecked my inventory, checked and rechecked my gear, and maybe triply positive that I had everything I needed.  I also made sure to get all the advice I could get from the other tree and the priest I would be working with.

Well, I’m not going to bore you with the details.  It went just plain swimmingly, and we did indeed get ourselves another Bear mount.  I was a little nervous during the lynx fight a couple of times, and we almost let one scout get away that could have been a problem.  In the end, though, we finished up with at least 3 minutes on the clock.  I’m not sure how many minutes exactly, as I was just too drained at that point to take note.  Here are a couple of shots to prove it!

I was very, very happy to have been part of a successful run.  I was doubly happy to have not fouled it up for everyone else as a "sub" and all.  I didn’t even roll on the Bear, as 8 of them there have been working on it solid for awhile.  Besides, I want the Headless Horseman’s mount.    It was quite stressful, I won’t lie.  I was putting a lot of pressure on myself.  I didn’t let the team down, though, and we walked away successful.  That’s all I could really ask!  That’s one more tick off the running scorecard in my head pre-Wrath.  Successful Bear Run, check.
