WotLK - Garwal the Worgen (Removed)

Perhaps the most infamous event in the Hunter glitch community, Garwal was a phased, quest-only tameable Wolf that would transform into a Worgen when pushed past 50% HP.

The first known sighting of Garwal was in July 2009, a quickly-snapped SS of a Blood Elf hunter on Darkspear with a worgen pet posted to the WoW forums. Initially, the hunter community had no idea how the hunter had obtained a Worgen pet, and when pressed for answers, the hunter refused to elaborate for fear of losing out on the uniqueness of his tame. A global manhunt erupted on the WoW forums, MMO Champion, and the now-defunct Mania's Arcania in search of the 'how'.

Quickly, it was rationalized that Garwal was the suspect in question, and hunters realized that Garwal would transform from his wolf form to a Worgen when pushed past 50%. Once in Worgen form, the Tame Beast spell could no longer be cast on him. If the cast ended once he had already transformed, he would revert back to a white wolf.

To obtain the pet, most hunters used the spell Wyvern Sting to both keep the Tame Beast channel up while precisely timing the point when Garwal's HP would tick past 50% from the DoT's damage. If the hunter's tame completed less than a second before Garwal transformed, he would transform mid-tame and thus retain his Worgen form.

Garwal was an appearance-buffed pet; his Worgen form was actually an applied aura spell, while his true form was the white wolf of his initial ID. While his Worgen form persisted through his or the player's death, if taken into Arena where all buffs are wiped upon entering, Garwal would lose his Worgen form and be permanently reverted to his white wolf form. He also displayed as a white wolf on the loading screen seen below.

Garwal was a controversial tame from the start, as hunters who had completed the quest Alpha Worg in Howling Fjord could not be phased to him, and would never be able to tame him on their main hunter. Many hunters clamored for his removal out of spite for being cheated from the tame, and heated arguments were repeatedly shut down on the forums surrounding him.

While it was correctly surmised that Garwal would be hotfixed to be untameable, what followed was a step into something new for players and Blizzard alike.

The first attempted hotfix had Garwal's Wolf family removed, leaving Blizzard to the assumption that the pet would run away as it was unable to be fed. However, hunters discovered Glyph of Mend Pet gave their pet happiness every time they cast Mend Pet, allowing them to keep Garwal around indefinitely. This hotfix also caused a size bug, making him appear massive on some player's screens.

This posed a problem to Blizzard, as neither Cataclysm nor Worgen had been announced, but the issue of hunters running around with a soon-to-be-playable race was something they could not overlook.

Sadly, the second hotfix was the final one, as Garwal was replaced entirely in every hunter's stable by the Winterskorn Worg.

This was the first time Blizzard had ever effectively taken away a hunter pet, and the backlash from the hunter community was severe. In time, an understanding was better reached when Worgen were announced as a playable race as to the 'why', but to many it remains one of the most beloved and bitterly-remembered events in Hunter history.

I am having extremely specific and niche ideas I must share. Specifically headcanons for Danny Phantom characters playing World of Warcraft

I feel like Sam would have been the first of them to get into WoW. Something other to play than Doomed, with a heavier focus on questing. She'd play on a PVP server and would be something of a legend on her realm.

She'd pretty much do everything, from hardcore raiding, to achievement hunting, to a little roleplaying on the side with friends.

She'd have two characters she swaps between, a troll warlock and an undead rogue, and would have the most min-maxed gear she can possibly get at all times. A "for the Horde!" girlie all the way. The warlock has tailoring/enchanting for professions, and the rogue mining/jewelcrafting, and she's got every recipe she can get her hands on for both.

I could see Sam trying to get Tucker and Danny into WoW, only to be wildly disappointed with their character decisions as both of them cozy up Alliance-side on a roleplaying realm.

-

Tucker takes one glance at worgen and goes "I'm gonna be a fucking werewolf" and it's all over from there. His main would be a guardian/feral druid (tank and melee dps) with the corniest RP name you've ever seen, and he loves them dearly. He's always looking for new transmog to dress up with, and he takes his mining/engineering professions a little too seriously. He mostly plays with Danny, but probably has a horde alt Sam forced him to make so they could actually play together before cross-faction became a thing (I am being intentionally Vague about what expansions they'd be playing in).

Tucker's horde alt would be a tauren druid that ALSO runs engineering. Pretty much the same character, especially considering he spends 90% of his time in animal forms.

-

Danny would start off playing a night elf monk and would get more into the RP of it than he ever wants to openly admit. He loves all of the flips and shit the monks do, and he's all in on the night elf aesthetic. He swaps between mistweaver and windwalker (healer and DPS), depending on what him and Tucker need to get shit done. He doesn't really focus a lot on the professions, instead going for dual gathering with mining and herbalism so he just has a lot of rocks and plants to throw at Tucker or onto the auction house.

After the accident though, Danny takes a long, staring look at death knights and decides he needs to play one-- for the memes. He's dogshit at it after playing monk for so long, but you can pry his frost (dps) death knight from his cold, half-dead hands.

The DK is just another night elf and when he's RPing, Danny likes to say it's the same character as the monk.

(Also I specifically think that Danny would play a nelf instead of a draenei because, as a trans Danny truther, I feel like the too-buff male draeneis would be a little Much for him, and the femme ones would be too dysphoric.)

-

Val would very begrudgingly start playing WoW with them once she joins Team Phantom. She'd go Horde-side with Sam, with a tauren warrior decked head to toe in red. She quickly gets sucked into the game, and gets a little intense with farming for all of the things she wants-- mounts, cool transmog, some battle pets. She likes to do a lot of content alone, finding it fun to just go off questing, but she'll let herself be dragged into dungeons ever now and then. She just doesn't have the time or energy for raiding consistently.

Val winds up making a bunch of different alts eventually to keep collecting shit, and she gets scary good at gold farming so she can pay for her subscription with in-game currency. She's got a bunch of different professions she runs on her various alts, but the warrior's got mining/blacksmithing since the idea of making her own armor won her out.

-

Dani plays on a laptop bought with Vlad's money, on a subscription also bought with Vlad's money. She takes one look at Val and Sam playing Horde-side and decides there is no other side to play.

She mains a vulpera hunter and is a troll through and through. She lives up to the hunter stereotype of accidentally pulling everything, but makes up for it by being scary good at DPS and PVP. Her and Val do a lot of mog and mount farming together, and some of her favorite things to collect are the battle pets and toys. She's got Meerah's Jukebox (a toy that plays a song about alpacas before exploding) hotkeyed to drop at a moment's notice.

She winds up getting a little too invested in alchemy, insisting she needs to be good at making goop.

-

Wes would not play WoW, and would instead play FFXIV and would never shut up about how much better it is than WoW.

Bonus:

Lancer plays a lot of WoW during the summer when school is out. He's got a human mage who looks a bit like a buff version of him that he's been playing since the game released, and he's got all sorts of achievements and collectibles held onto from that era. He runs herbalism/inscription as a profession, and has every recipe for it under the sun. He still insists on riding his first horse mount that he ever got, and it has a Shakespearean name.

[wyrmguardsecrets]

The worgen druid that managed to hide 'bully breeder' in his TRP glances, bravo for creativity, but you're still weird AF for marking everyone of your ERP victims with the mark of the wild buff whenever you see them. Jesus. Don't get me started on the bathroom kinks.

-

[theywhoarebear]

I am marginally dissatisfied with Hrothgals. They're not quite the perfect hulking beasts like the men and that's very disappointing. They're just normal buff women with a cat head and tail. They're not female Worgen, but they are far from female Charr.

[monokumafightclub]

i don't feel like grinding LFR on pandaria remix rn so have my ramblings

first off, they all main alliance. jataro wanted to play undead since they're as ugly as he thinks he is, but every rpg party needs a healer and crossfaction doesn't exist yet probably.

masaru - human paladin (protection/retribution). i mean it's the most hero-y class and he likes the Cool Horse. claims himself as this brave courageous slayer of demons, undead, and horde alike when he's really the dumbass who Pulls Everything in every dungeon and nagisa and kotoko have to cover his ass. also does pvp (battlegrounds mostly), sucks ass at it but gets incredibly smug whenever the alliance win a match (he still Usually has the most deaths even on winning BGs)

nagisa - nightelf druid (balance, sometimes resto). kinda similar case to masaru in terms of class; druids are probably the closest i can think of to DQ's sage class. typically the one functioning brain cell in dungeon groups regardless of whether he's with the other WOH or in LFG. usually undergeared compared to the rest of his group yet inexplicably has the highest DPS of the lot. kid knows that balance rotation.

jataro - worgen priest (born to shadow, forced to holy). couldn't pick undead so he went with the alliance race that's probably the most hated in-canon. never leaves worgen form and his transmog typically has a helmet that covers his face. sometimes gets pet by other players and gets really confused as to why. surprisingly good at healing but sometimes refuses to do it just to annoy his groupmates.

kotoko - pandaren warrior (prob arms or fury depending on what she's feeling, prot if masaru's being a dumbass). pandas! are! adorbs! second best DPS to nagisa, and constantly the one to carry the team if masaru screws up. loves collecting battlepets and transmogs she thinks are adorbs. has an alt that's a tauren hunter because she thinks they're adorbs even if the horde is kinda smelly. would have an alt that's a vulpera and could kick your ass.

monaca - draenei mage (diff specs depending on how she's feeling), has an alt that's a draenei warlock (affliction spec) with the eredar skin. her mage is for pve, and whenever she's in a group with the other WOH, she always buffs and sets out the refreshment table, puts out fairly good dps too. her warlock is for pvp and god forbid you run into her. has to specify that the only "demons" she hates are adults because she thinks felhunters are pretty cute. rerolled warlock several times just so the demon namegen could name hre felhunter "junkoon" or something.

ask me about my dumb headcanons regarding the warriors of hope playing world of warcraft

[dylan-grimmkell]

Here he is! Buff Dylan(current Dragonflight Dylan), my worgen boy, looks so good! Thank you, (thebobbyarts), for this awesome work of him! I love it so much. All that training during the timeskip paid off he is a big buff, Worgen now.

[wowhead]

omgggggg if you're a worgen and you get the Inner Child buff from the anima toy it turns you into this tiny worgen thing

[xellandria]

60 #34, Alliance #17, Druid #5.  I’ve had Terrisel drawn for my Wall ‘o 60s for a pretty long time now, but prior to the exp buff was only leveling her casually, as resto, in dungeons. One dungeon or two at a time, once every couple weeks, unless I logged into a CTA (rare for normal dungeons). Pro tip: dungeons do not get you gear for your non-heirloom slots. I only just replaced my Benthic gloves at 59, and she’s still wearing Benthic bracers because I didn’t get around to the correct bonus objectives out in the world.

Anyway the point of all this rambling is that she’s been drawn for a while so this doesn’t change my number of alts needed for the wall, but also she has a tail. It’s canon. I don’t care, Blizzard, worgen without tails is a stupid concept and you should have known better. I bet you did, you just ran out of time when doing new character customization. I understand. I mean, I don’t, but I’ll say I do just for the brownie points. Anyway worgen get tails in my world cos screw that noise.

[trashasaurusrex]

Everyday when I see your ocs I wish that Blizzard had a buff option for Female Worgen

but seriously aaa tysm ;_; I always hope for some sort of body shape customization in WoW. It would improve the RP experience by 1,000.

[viralarcadian]

since im talking about raids again i love how buggy a lot of them are

-when aq40 opened up nobody could beat cthun for months because the claws in his stomach would spawn in walls or beneath the ground, rendering them unkillable while they could continue to damage you, and also because he'd laser people to death as they were coming into the room

-kael'thas in tempest keep had a fucked up aggro list where he wouldn't drop it between phases despite you not actually fighting him for the first three, so by the time you DID fight him he'd instantly go after the healers and nothing could stop him

-lady vashj wouldn't stay dead sometimes and instantly revive at the end of serpentshrine caverns, and would instantly kill everyone because they'd be so injured from just having killed her. and then that would count as wiping

-also coming from lady vashj, her mind control would occasionally target the tanks despite that not being meant to happen

-the mobs in the 10-man horridon boss in throne of thunder initially had the wrong number of hit points, aka they were scaled to the 25-man version and that meant no one could actually beat the encounter

-the door in blackwing lair in would sometimes fail to reopen if you didn't kill nefarion fast enough, trapping everyone inside and forcing everyone to leave via hearthstone/portal and wait half an hour for the instance to reset

-not a raid but the entirety of wailing caverns. mobs getting stuck in walls and being unkillable and always aggro'd is common, as is the final boss of the instance bugging out and not showing up. as far as I know it's still like this to this day

-also not a raud or a dungeon but the worgen starting zone, especially the final bit where you fight sylvanas. the buff you can give to friendly npcs that heals them and boosts their attack ALSO AFFECTS HER for some reason. again also still like this to this day. I have vivid memories of when i first started playing and created jasper, and there was someone on an alt telling all the newbies to stop using the buff because she was being healed faster than we could kill her.

Warcraft Himbos? Take Two

I can make fun of this twice, right?

I really like all of these characters. I mean them no disrespect. That said, I may be wrong but... Once you see it. You can’t un-see it.

Malfurion

I hear he didn't notice Tyrande really, really liked him and not his weird brother at first.

Slept in the emerald dream waaay too long, and forgot he had a woman waiting to become his wife, maybe? Well, a lot of other dangerous things were happening to Malfy while he was out cold, it wasn’t really his fault, and we do love him poor thing, but...

Yeah, still kind of a serious himbo move, there.

“Uh well, I mean you’re really powerful and special Tyrande. You could have pretty much anyone you wanted. Especially my brother who’s always lurking around and has the aesthetic of a hot biker guy in tricked out leather, with a gang of demon hunters following him, to boot. And I think you deserve better so...”

*Tyrande standing right there, ready to strangle him*

“Yeah. We could probably get married today, after thousands of years have whizzed by. I’m awake now anyway.” *shrugs big manly druid shoulders*

Well. Speaking of those shoulders and that lovely SOUL he’s got. I’d probably wait for him, too.

Arthas

Well this one isn't going to be fair at all and maybe I'm just being silly for the most part but... The culling of Stratholme. What... what was that.

Image caption: “Hold up, I got this! Scourge is under my control, babeeee!”

Arthas, "The Scourge is too powerful. We jus... We need to kill ALL the things."

Jaina, "I can't watch you do this." (Because who would. Except maybe Arthas.)

Arthas, *proceeds to fix the Scourge problem a second time, by hanging out with them a lot more*

He looked GREAT in that armor while he was at it, though!

Nathanos

*lots of Worgen die*

Well, she's a bad girl, misunderstood, that's totally my thing. And people say she's evil but...

*a world tree explodes*

I mean, she's hot, so. I still dunno what everyone else's problem is.

Also see: No solid proof we'll be sleeping together any time soon, but I'll still hang around Sylvie after all the things, for that.

Or for the non-shippers: She called me her champion really suggestively, gave me a brand new body, eventhough I didn't ask for one... And we used to flirt and stuff while I was alive. Speaking of, she even spent the night at my house that one time... But she's not into me, how could THAT be??

Nathanos. Come on, Nathanos. I like Sylvanas myself, but I’m OUTSIDE of the game. Boy, go out there into the World of Warcraft, and find someone who treats you (and living things) better! *snap*

Garrosh

See: exhibit EVERYTHING.

The funny thing is, somehow Garrosh charmed Thrall. Which is a dead-solid himbo move as well.

Image caption: Nice crotch shot there too, gotta be real with ya.

“I dunno, you’re kinda... well...”

“Say it, Thrall. Just say it!”

“...Stupid.”

*chest thumps, points over Thralls’ head* “But I still got next warchief, right?”

“Well, the only other person that leaps straight to mind is Gamon. But I think that’s more because he’s made himself into a catchy meme over the years--”

“You heard ‘im, guys. I GOT NEXT WARCHIEF! PASS ME THE HORDE BAAAALL!”

*Thrall sighs, sloughs off*

Much later, “I, Gamon, will save us!”

Thrall, “Dammit, I knew I shoulda chosen that random Tauren meme over him!!”

Conclusion

I'm either right, or we ALL have a little himbo inside of us. A special little buff part of our hearts that will always jump into action because BIG feelings, and has to be really shamelessly cute while doing it. <3

Any more out there? I’m sure some folks can think of stronger, or should I say... buffer... examples.

Ashes of Outland: Iridium Reveals

You better respect Iridium! It’s the second densest element, and the most corrosion resistent metal. When fighting a Rusted Legion, you might be happy to have some Iridium around. (Presuming you can carry it.)

Anyway, it is now time to look at the remaining Mage, Priest and Rogue cards.

Starscryer is a slightly better Loot Hoarder. If you’re playing Mage, you’re going to playing spells, so it’s just a fact. One attack isn’t much, but it could help get a better trade.

Incanter’s Flow is another square to check off on Bad Ideas Bingo. It’s a permanent cost reduction on all the spells in your deck. For the rest of the game. Incidentally, a spell-heavy playstyle is being pushed with this set. Someone’s going to find a way to break this in the next two years. Anyhow it’s probably good if you can afford the upfront tempo hit.

Netherwind Portal is a new way to mess with enemy spells. They’ll never cast again knowing it could get you a free minion. Well, they might. Obviously this is useful if you forgot to put minions in your deck, and provides an extra threat to use. Worth trying out, at the very least, since it’s a common, and it’s basically going to be impossible to not have every common card from now on.

Imprisoned Homunculus is a Taunt minion which doesn’t show up for two turns. I don’t think this is too bad if you get it out turn one, since as Priest, you won’t be missing much, but the ultility becomes a lot worse in the lategame. Often, you want Taunt minions to delay nasty beatings, and something that doesn’t do that immediately is effectively useless.

Renew is a generic one mana Discover spell, except it also heals something. This might be worth it in Quest Priest, since it gets you some cheap ticks, as well as giving you the opportunity to get some extra resources. Could be secretly good, since it does something and replaces itself, which makes Renew better than a lot of cards.

Apotheosis is another buff spell for Priest. It doesn’t really look that good - you don’t even get a full +3/+3 from it. The Lifesteal probably has value against aggressive decks and in Quest Priest, but is it worth a card? It’s hard to say, but I’m leaning towards no.

Spymistress is a slightly stronger Worgen Inflitrator. Not very exciting, but it provides a little extra pressure and removes slightly tougher minions. Probably not Constructed quality, but not many keyword-only minions are.

Dirty Tricks is cheap card draw. You just need your opponent to play a spell to get it. Not sure if this is worth playing, since Rogue currently has access to quite a lot of card generation. So much so that sometimes you have too many cards, somehow. However, once outside of formats where you can make all the cards you could possibly want, Dirty Tricks is probably an okay way to get a few extra cards, since spells generally get played.

Cursed Vagrant is almsot two Ravenholdt Assassins stacked together. Hilarious amounts of stats here, although I feel like they aren’t actually that useful. Sure, this is hard to completely get rid of, but so are a lot of minions. Still probably an okay pick for Arena, just not for Constructed.

Font of Power is a spell for Minionless Mage that subverts the point of the restriction. Of course, getting three random minions doesn’t completely eliminate the downsides, since you have no idea if they’ll be useful. Luckily, many Mage minions have some form of spell synergy, so getting many of the lesser ones won’t hurt, as you’ll have a deck full of spells to activate them with.

Deep Freeze gets you two Water Elementals for the price of two! What a bargin. This mostly looks like another way to pretend Minionless Mage is an actual deck, while still allowing the deck to have minions. Since you can always Freeze the enemy hero, this isn’t too bad, although as eight mana spells go, it’s probably not the best.

Dragonmaw Sentinal is a little extra Dragon synergy for Priest. The Year of the Dragon might be over, but Dragon and Dragon accessories are still in. Like many cards, all the value is locked up in the conditional effect. Thankfully, Dragons have proven to a generally consistent theme, so you’ll probably be able to get the full minion. However, as an early game minion, Lifesteal is less effective than Taunt, what with prevention being better than the cure and all that. Plus, if you haven’t been damaged, you lose out on the ultility provided by Lifesteal.

Psyche Split is another minion copying card. This one buffs, then copies! Also, it can copy enemy minions. This gives some level of marginal value, although I’m not sure if you should really be buffing enemy minions. Why does this set have so many cards like this?

Ashtongue Slayer is Stealth payoff. Strike from the shadows for extra damage, and avoid retaliation. Favourful! Although probably not that useful, since most Stealth minions haven’t been that great. While you can get a surprise lethal or minion removal from this card, it requires things to line up in a specific way, and if that doesn’t happen, you’ll be left unhappy.

Skeletal Dragon is Dragon that makes more Dragons. It has Taunt making it useful for protection, but somewhat less so at providing on going value. Probably entirely fine as big minions go, since has some impact on the board, although it doesn’t have what I’d call a game winning presence.

Bamboozle would be a Shaman Secret if Shaman had Secrets. But that class doesn’t so it’s a Rogue Secret instead. This is probably quite good, since most of the time, replacing a minion with one that’s three mana more is going to completely screw up whatever your opponent was planning. Of course, with all the weird dysfunctional minions the game has, sometimes this will be a dud. On balance, it’s probably still worth, especially since some minions become signifigantly more functional if you don’t actually have to pay for them.

I have no idea what is going on in Reliquary of Souls’ artwork. It’s some kind of... floating head? Covered in crystals? Anyhow, it’s honestly a very generic minion when you play it, but it’s also the Penultimiate Prime. It’s probably going to die without much fuss, although you might get a little healing from it on the way. Reliquary Prime is a lot more difficult to get rid of. You can buff and heal it, but your opponent’s spells and Hero Power are useless against it. This means it has to fought, and will thus heal you. Yay! Probably pretty neat in Quest Priest, since it both gets you Quest ticks, and is a decent target for buffing. Otherwise, it doesn’t seem that impressive, because you’re waiting a while for an effect that’s not that impactful.

Soul Mirror is even more removal for Priest, which also copies your opponent’s stuff, because that is the entirely class identity. This is why Priest can’t be good. It would ruin the game. Anyhow, this is just a more complicated Lightbomb that will occationally get you some minions. At seven mana it’s also kind of slow for something that doesn’t totally wreck the opponent’s board, so is it even that playable? Who even knows.

[tiggyloo]

The female worgen models were always such a huge disappointment. You get these rad hulking werewolf dudes and then, like, scrawny dog ladies. Boo. The newer models are a bit better than the original, less scrawny and have much more wolf-like faces but tbh it's hard to not improve on what they looked like before so that's a very low bar

MAKE 👏 THEM 👏 BUFF 👏 

The new models are definitely better, but still extremely lacking :/

The males and females are hardly even the same werewolf species!! Make them look the same god dammit

[lunagaron]

looking back on it i’m kinda happy that guild wars 2 didnt pull some weird bullshit like world of warcraft did by making the monstrous charr males and females almost the same except for more house-cat features in females which is pretty cool and not like a cursed buff ass boy and a sexy furry uwu like they did with the worgen

Crowds are not my thing.

The demon hunter sighed deeply as he walked bellow the stone archway that served as the entrance of Stormwind.

" This is going to be a disaster....but I promised to work on this issue of mine."

Now standing inside the walls of the mighty city the Night elf did his best to keep calm.

" You can do this, just remember that you're surrounded by allies not demons. No one is trying to kill you, just breathe."

Slowly he walked inward towards the crossroad were he would be able to choose where to go next. The short walk was easy as there were barely anyone wandering the street and it seemed like his self imposed trial was working well. That is untill he came to the crossroad, people had begun to gather and soon there was quite a crowd making the demon hunter quite uncomfortable.

' Just remember to stay calm, breathe and don't react like this is a fight. Everything will be okay.'

He had planned on going through old Town and the Dwarven district to begin with as there aren't as much people there, but that seemed like a thing of the past now. The amalgamation of sounds that came from the large gathering made the Night elfs senses go on high alert. Swords being drawn, daggers being flung through the air, spells being activated and either resulting in a buff for someone or a summoning being finished. This and much more along with the clanking of heavy armor, the whirling sound of arrows flying as they were tested by potential buyers was to much for the demon hunter.

Covering his ears he ran through the crowd and didn't stop untill he was at the farthest side of the docks. Sinking to his knees he tried to calm his heart, it was pounding in his ears like war drums. He didn't know how long he sat there before a gentle but firm hand was placed on his shoulder making him look up.

" I'm guessing you didn't have any luck in your work."

" N-no I did not your highness. I don't know what to do, I can't handle it no matter what."

Genn sighed and crouched down to Mongroóls level, he might not be the most affectionate person on Azeroths but he saw the effort the Night elf put into getting through this.

" Perhaps you're moving to fast forward. I understand that you want to get through it as quick as possible, but sometimes change like this takes time and you have to let it take that time. You can't force it to happen immediately."

Mongroól glanced up at the man, he knew very well that his words were true. After all the king had gone through the curse of the Worgen, lost his only son and now he was one amazing fighter.

" You're right, I did try to force it but I won't anymore. Thank you your highness, I really needed to hear that."

Sharing a small smile Genn gets Mongroól of his knees and onto his feet.

" You're one heck of a fighter Mongroól but that doesn't mean you can't take your time with things."
