Instance Idea: Caverns of Time Assassination of King Wyrnn

Post by Nico756

Lore: You follow Garona Halforcen through the city of Stormwind to assassinate king Llane Wyrnn
The infinite dragonflight of course try to mess things up.

General Layout: You begin in the basement in the house in the trade district of Stormwind, you are greeted by Garona who thanks you for your aid, she soon curses you because being the big dummys you are you walked out and started killing stuff (surprisingly your only option.) After running around killing Alliance heroes, citizens, and guards, (guided by Garona) you walk out into the street at the top of the district, run down to get the canals, only to find them closed, Garona sees the trap and tells you to GTFO, you run to the OTHER gate (mage district side) the time you run from gate to gate is like a mini scarab hall (AQ 40, remember that little gem of an encounter?) finally fighting your first boss, then you get to run around the canals only to find all the gates are blocked (still being lead by garona) finally she leads you to a tavern where you fight your NEXT boss, you go through the basement, into a secret tunnel that leads convinently to stormwind keep, in the secret tunnel after fighting muggers, guards, and infinite dragons, you are ambushed by the third boss, finally you show up in the keeps kitchens fight your way to the throne room and totally serve up some pwnsauce on Lllane wyrnn

Boss#1 Guard Captain Erik Huntson
this is the guard captain, after your very stealthy genocide of the trade district he traps you
Abilities: Cleave, Horn of Stormwind (buffs his damage and has a knockback,) Sound the Alarm, (summons a bunch of non elites to come attack you)
Boss#2 Adventuring Party
if you read the lore you know this boss, or bosses, are found in the River Rat Tavern, you find them in their drinks at the bar celebrating the new epic lewts they just got.
Members: Samuel Highfield (human paladin)
Abilites Holy Light, Hammer of Justice, Divine Storm, Crusader Strike
Fizzy Nozzlespring (gnome warlock)
Abilites Corruption, Curse of Doom (the OLD one, that summons doomgauard), shadowbolt shadow bolt volley, rain of fire
Pet: Youg Voidwalker, no abilites
La'Loy Springleaf (High elf priest)
Abilites: heal, renew, word of power shield, holy fire, smite
Brondal Giantsbane (dwarf hunter)
disengage, frost trap, explosive shot (with knockback) serpent sting

Boss#3 Chronomagus Infino
Resident infinite dragon boss
Abilites: Arcane missles, blink, temporal roar (blinks your party randomly for 3 seconds) arcane blast, arcane blast is a damage nuke and he will target someone randomly, he however shoots it into a portal (he shoots it into the future actually) so it dosen't dmg nuke you now, but later when yo u aren't expecting it

Boss#4 King Llane Wyrnn
the whole place is about killing him, wowwiki his lore
Abilities: Lions roar, (stackable 10% dmg buff) Bladestorm, slash (stackableX10 bleed effect)

if you like the idea then I'll add more

lol I was trying to be humerous, the infinites want him not to die cause that seriously $*&#s up time? Why would they wan't arthas to massacre and entire city? And not EVERYTHING is blocked or closed, but it wouldn't be streamlined enough if players could roam where they please

Why would the Infinite dragonkin want King Wrynn to not die? What would that have for use?

Why would the infinite dragonflight not want Arthas to cull Stratholme, or not want the Dark Portal opened, or not want Thrall to escape? :P

I happen to think that helping in the assassination of Llane Wrynn would be very interesting. I agree with Xoriouz about brushing up your language.

And why the hell is every single little thing blocked/closed?The kingdom of Azeroth is at war, and the Horde army is approaching Stormwind. They would be stupid not to up their defences.

However, I think that the idea falls flat a bit. Maybe if you make Llane less of a tank & spank fight, add in some dialogue, quest descriptions, and explanations why Garona (who was viewed as a diplomat) Was not able to get through the barriers that the Azeroth army put in place; The idea may sit a little better with me, and presumably others.

It won't work because Garona was already in Stormwind at the time she killed the King and it fell to the Horde.

I posted the improved idea, you can find it here. Also, Nico, don't be discouraged.

Why even redo it? What I got from your posts is "This is bad, let me do it better", where most people would tell why it's bad, and what can be done to improve it. Help him out, instead of hijacking the idea (don't try to argue against it, you did).

Patty gave a pretty good reasoning as to why it could be done, and just from reading the original post (ignoring the language), it sounds more exciting than helping Thrall escape from Durnholde, by far. And I'd love to see OLD Stormwind.

The death of King Llane was an important point in the lore, and with Varian entering the game for good, it would be a rather good time to have an encounter like this. Granted, it doesn't really fit in with Cataclysm or the like, but then again - Thrall's escape didn't have that much to do with The Burning Crusade either.

Long story short: Nico, it's a good idea, try to flesh it out a bit. Bosses abilities, numbers and such aren't as interesting as the reasoning for them being there.

Your a patron and premium, if people value your opinion more cos' of that, then that sucks. But I don't so in three little letters,
IDC!
Premium and Patron are hand in hand. You get the Patron title from being a premium user. However, to be that, you openly show that you support (and therefore care for) Wowhead - which should be enough of a proof of Adamsm's intentions.
