Commander Lorna Crowley captured

Description

Lorna Crowley, daughter of Lord Darius Crowley, is currently at the Gilneas Liberation Front camp, located near the Greymane Wall, to the southeast.

Our primary mission is to infiltrate the camp and capture her alive. The Dark Lady believes that she will be able to use Lorna as a bargaining chip against Crowley. I say we just kill her and bring her back as Forsaken, but we must do as the Dark Lady commands.

We must hurry before the rest of the Alliance forces arrive.

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:
	[Favor of the Dark Lady]			[Lorna's Signet]
	[Windrunner Band]

You will also receive: 35

Completion

You have done it! Finally, everything is in place. Should Crowley not accept our terms, his daughter will be turned.

Notes

Transcript:

Commander Lorna Crowley says: So the Banshee Queen has sent assassins?

Lord Godfrey says: Lorna, is that how you greet old friends?

Commander Lorna Crowley says: Godfrey? So the rumors are true.

Commander Lorna Crowley says: You would betray your kingdom out of spite?

Lord Godfrey says: My kingdom? My kingdom is no more.

Lord Godfrey says: Your father and Greymane saw to that... No, Gilneas died when they allowed murderous beasts to reign free. Unchecked.

Lord Godfrey says: Now lay down your arms and surrender. We are not here to kill you. Not yet.

Commander Lorna Crowley says: HAH! You'll have to kill me! DIE!

The player and the party of Lord Godfrey, Lord Walden and Baron Ashbury attacks her, making her fall unconscious.

Lord Godfrey says: Quickly! We must head back to the Forsaken Front before we are discovered!

Trivia

The quest is named after the 1969 James Bond movie of the same name.

-'''Halfus Wyrmbreaker''' is the first boss of [[Bastion of Twilight]], a raid instance in the [[Twilight Highlands]]. He can be found in the [[Wyrmbreaker's Rookery]], overlooking a lava pit and facing his guardian, the [[Proto-Behemoth]]. He is considered a fairly easy fight.
+Capture [[Lorna Crowley|Commander Lorna Crowley]] and return her to [[Lady Sylvanas Windrunner]] at the [[Forsaken Front]] in [[Silverpine Forest]].
+* Commander Lorna Crowley captured
+== Description ==
-Halfus was beaten along with the other bosses in the first week of Cataclysm's release, but the heroic modes proved more difficult. The world first kills came on Wednesday, 15 December 2010.
+Lorna Crowley, daughter of [[Darius Crowley|Lord Darius Crowley]], is currently at the [[Gilneas Liberation Front]] camp, located near the [[Greymane Wall]], to the southeast.
+Our primary mission is to infiltrate the camp and capture her alive. The Dark Lady believes that she will be able to use Lorna as a bargaining chip against [[Darius Crowley|Crowley]]. I say we just kill her and bring her back as Forsaken, but we must do as the Dark Lady commands.

+We must hurry before the rest of the Alliance forces arrive.
-==Overview==
-[[File:Halfus Wyrmbreaker area.jpg|thumb|250px|Halfus Wyrmbreaker and his proto-drake]]
-Halfus Wyrmbreaker is a tank and spank fight with some interesting debuff mechanics added in. He has one add, the [[Proto-Behemoth]], that will spit fireballs raid members and do an AoE flame breath. It is best to ignore this drake and concentrate on killing Halfus, as it has a large health pool and its damage can be either dodged or healed through.
+== Rewards ==
-Four friendly [[drake]]s and a pack of whelps are imprisoned in the area where Wyrmbreaker is engaged, but only three of them can be engaged. The exact combination of available drakes is randomly selected. When freed, each drake or whelp pack will put a debuff on both the boss and (on heroic mode) the raid. It will initially attack Halfus and give him its debuff, but after a couple seconds, the boss emotes, "Halfus Wyrmbreaker binds the <drake type> to his will!" The drake or pack then becomes mind controlled and gives the raid its debuff as well.
+{{itembox|You will be able to choose one of these rewards:
+|Favor of the Dark Lady
+|Lorna's Signet
+|Windrunner Band}}
+You will also receive: {{cost||35}}
+== Completion ==
-The key to the drakes is that the debuff on Halfus applies until the fight is over, whereas the raid's debuff expires once the drake is killed. Halfus Wyrmbreaker is therefore a twist on past boss fights with optional helpful NPCs ([[Yogg-Saron (tactics)|Yogg-Saron]]) or optional adds ([[Obsidian Sanctum]]).
+You have done it! Finally, everything is in place. Should Crowley not accept our terms, his daughter will be turned.
+== Notes ==
-At 25-30%, the boss will emote, "Halfus Wyrmbreaker begins to spin violently!" He will then [[whirlwind]] and head slowly towards random players until killed.

-=== Drakes ===
+== Trivia ==
+* The quest is named after the 1969 James Bond movie of the [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064757/ same name].
-The drake composition of the fight is randomly selected and, like classic [[Nefarian]], getting a difficult combination of adds means you must deal with it until next week.
-;The Nether Scion: Pre-fight, applies a frenzy buff to Halfus Wyrmbreaker (+100% attack speed). When freed, reduces raid damage dealt, but will also cancel out Wyrmbreaker's frenzy attack.
-;The Time Warden: Slows down the speed of the protodrake's fireballs, but, but also roots players.
-;The Slate Dragon: Gives Wyrmbreaker his Malevolent Strikes ability, which causes a stacking healing debuff. Once freed, periodically stuns the whole raid for 15 seconds and does the same to Halfus.
-;The Orphaned Emerald Whelps: Reduces raid and boss damage dealt by 50%.
-;The Storm Rider: Gives Wyrmbreaker a Shadow Nova ability which deals AoE damage and knocks people back.
+== Quest progression ==
-==Strategy==
+{{Warchief's Command: Silverpine Forest!}}
-Two tanks are recommended for Halfus Wyrmbreaker, as his hits apply a debuff that reduces healing received by 5% and stacks up rather quickly. Halfus Wyrmbreaker is tauntable until his whirlwind phase starts at either 25% or 30%.
+== Patch changes ==
-Halfus Wyrmbreaker has a 6-minute(?) hard enrage timer.

-The usual approach is to free the Time Warden as soon as the fight starts and nuke it down once it becomes mind controlled. Healers will need to heal through the fireballs due to the rooting debuff. However, it is worth the sacrifice since the fireballs will permanently be slower, whereas the rooting lasts only until the drake is dead.
-From then on, it is a simple tank and spank encounter until the whirlwind phase. At this point he becomes untankable and targets random raid members. Players must still dodge fireballs and also try and dodge the whirlwind while attacking Halfus.
