Cataclysm: Gamon, legendary villain of Orgrimmar, made even more elite

I must be out there in the night, staying vigilant. Wherever the darkness stirs, I will be there. Wherever an inn is threatened, I will be there. Wherever a rogue needs to finish a quest, I will be there. Lurking. Watching.
For at any moment, I know the foul villain Gamon may return to threaten my people.
Years ago, Gamon posed no threat -- a simple two-bit crook; a level 12 drunkard. Gamon bided his time in the Valley of Strength's inn (specifically, dead on the inn's floor). Many ignored him. But those of us, those of us with a sixth sense ... we knew that he needed to be stopped before it was too late.
They laughed at me. Called me a fool. Stopped me from doing what must be done.
And so, sinister Gamon obtained the legendary Tazan's Key. And before they could stop him, dark, foul Gamon unlocked the secrets of Tazan's Satchel, accessing the dark magicks inside. The once quiet Gamon is now ... a level 85 elite. And despite his quiet manner, he threatens the very safety of not just low-level rogues trying to finish a quest, but the entire world. A cunning villain, he still resists the urge to attack unless he is attacked first. But even so, his kill count is rising. He must be stopped.
I don't eat. I don't sleep. I keep watch over the Valley of Strength's inn, making sure Gamon stays dead on the inn's floor. The needs of the world outweigh the needs of the level 10 rogue trying to complete a quest.
I am Foxlight. And Gamon ... I will destroy you. Over and over again, every five minutes, until you stop respawning.

Rihahn Nov 13th 2010 12:27AM
Yes. But there is still a few more weeks...
Gamon totally needs to be running around Org with the Rocky theme playing - at least for a week or two.

Sadistic4 Nov 12th 2010 8:05PM
i lol'd. a lot. Also, do i smell 40 man gamon raid? i think i do.
Fox Van Allen Nov 12th 2010 8:10PM
Raids are indeed forming every five minutes in Orgrimmar. No one's going to be turning in that rogue quest for a lonnnnnnng time.
Cephas Nov 12th 2010 8:33PM
Actually, nobody's going to be turning in that Rogue quest ever again. They just removed it.
brian Nov 13th 2010 2:17AM
That knave! He absorbed the very essence of the quest itself to gain power! Such forbidden magicks!
Trilynne Nov 12th 2010 8:05PM
Is this to get us to go see if Gamon is, indeed, lvl 85, and thus see what is REALLY going on in Org now? xD

I didn't say I doubted him, just that there are other changes happening right now. :P Next phase of the Cata quests, to be exact!
Drakkenfyre Nov 12th 2010 8:28PM
Ah, I didn't realize phase 3 started. I thought you were just making a joke with the overall events.
Pizzaman4500 Nov 12th 2010 8:07PM
Uh oh. I've killed Gamon so many times that I'll probably still attack him without thinking. I guess I'll be that dead level 12 Tauren in the Orgrimmar inn now...
Drakkenfyre Nov 12th 2010 8:09PM
He has 1,937,000 health, and hits for 150,000. Good luck on killing him.
Fox Van Allen Nov 12th 2010 9:07PM
I assure you, those stats ain't no big thing to a level 85 pally. Gamon spends even more time dead as a level 85 elite on the beta than he does as a level 12 on live.
Drakkenfyre Nov 12th 2010 9:45PM
I was assuming he would go in at 85 in the prepatch, and you were talking about killing him then.
TheUsualSuspect Nov 12th 2010 8:14PM
Totally going to Misdirect or ToT him to every single NPC/player in his vicinity if its possible to do so.
Martinel Nov 12th 2010 8:24PM
Dude.
Cold.
