I used to be an adventurer like yourself...

• Gossip

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was back in Azeroth at my favorite establishment, maybe you've heard of it? Goes by the name of Lion's Pride Inn, smack dab in the middle of Goldshire.

Well, there I was across from ol' Dobbins enjoying myself a nice bit of fine aged cheddar and washing it back with a flagon of melon juice when Dughie runs into the tavern!

His face was white as snow...nay, whiter than snow! Says he spotted a kobold not far off and it was carrying a candle, like it was fixin' to burn Goldshire to the ground!

I threw down my fine aged cheddar, made for the door and tripped over a dwarven hunter.

We crashed to the ground and POW! I took an arrow right to the knee!

• Him being a former adventurer who took an arrow to the knee is a reference to , in which guard NPCs will often claim that they used to be an adventurer much like the player until they took an arrow in the knee. The phrase became a popular internet meme and is also referenced in the fourth round of Ask Creative Development as well as by Koro Mistwalker during Unsafe Passage.
