3A group gathered at an inn, consisting of Jonric the 27th (Lv.4 Human Warrior, played by Creator/HuskyStarcraft), Violet (Lv.22 Succubus Thief, played by Rosanna Pansino) and Aggie (Lv.67 Were-Lizard Mage, played by [[WebVideo/PressHeartToContinue Dodger Leigh]]), set out to rescue Jonric's girlfriend, Princess Tulip, from her captor Sid (Lv.12 Human Nimrod, played by Michael Davis) and his henchman Yorks (Lv.34 Goat-Slug Minion; played by [[WebVideo/OMFGCata Jesse Cox]]). Misadventures ensue, as the tone is parodic in nature.

8!Contains examples of:
9* AffablyEvil: Yorks, in contrast to [[JerkAss his master]].
10* AllThereInTheManual: Interviews with the cast and crew of the show have revealed some interesting nuances, such as the fact that Violet is a reformed succubus who is trying to stay on the straight-and-narrow.
11* ChubbyChaser: Sid, using his Magic Mirror to watch a fat woman bathing.
12** Jonric, too, when [[spoiler:we discover that the fat woman is Tulip]].
13* DeadpanSnarker: Violet towards Jonric.
14* DoubleEntendre: Every joke made at Violet's expense are these.
15* TheFool: Jonric has been referred to as such. Also, aside from going on a quest to save his girlfriend, he has no idea.
16* EnemyWithout: Episode 5.
17* EngineeredHeroics: Attempted in episode 9, with about the same success rate of anything the characters do.
18* HypercompetentSidekick: Yorks to Sid, Violet and Aggie to Jonric: all the sidekicks are not only smarter than their (nominal) leaders, but higher-leveled too.
19* {{Jerkass}}: Sid is cited as the biggest jerk in the land by Jonric.
20* LegacyCharacter: Jonric the 27th.
21-->'''Bartender:''' Jonric, didn't you get arrested for molesting a kobold or something?\
22'''Jonric:''' No! That was Jonric the ''17th'', and it was a dwarf! --I mean, [[SayingTooMuch Wait. No. What?]]
23* LovableCoward: Aggie. When presented with TheDragon she accidentally shapeshifts into a chicken.
24* MagicMirror: Sid has one. He uses it to [[ThePeepingTom watch the heroes and fat ladies]] in [[BathtubScene the bathtub]].
25* MyEyesAreUpHere: Violet's first appearance, particularly since she's a succubus.
26* NiceJobFixingItVillain: As Yorks notes, everything Sid had him do regarding the TwentyBearAsses plot below only helped the heroes to be able to move faster. Sid just wanted to see if he could get them to [[spoiler:kill their own horses]].
27* NoSenseOfDirection: When asked where north is, Jonric pointed up.
28* OverlyLongGag: [[SchmuckBait "The key to your journey lies in that tomb!"]]
29* PowerPerversionPotential: Sid's ''other'' use for his Magic Mirror.
30* ReallyGetsAround: Violet, at least by reputation. A RunningGag is antagonist characters turning out to be past dalliances.
31* RunningGag: in addition to the one just mentioned... In Episode 11, Aggie keeps getting startled by various sights in the dungeon and letting her magic-ball-of-light go out.
32* ShoutOut:
33** Standing outside Ye Olde Taverne in episode one includes [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] and [[Film/ThePrincessBride Fezzik]].
34** The portals used to summon the Adventure Master alternate between [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} blue and orange]].
35*** [[spoiler:As he sank into the lava when he was accidentally summoned there, [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay he gave a thumbs up while only his hand was above the surface]], only to briefly reemerge shortly after and [[FlippingTheBird flip off the group]].]]
36* StubbornMule: The horses they get in Episode 1.
37* SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands: Sid's primary use for his Magic Mirror.
38* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial:
39-->'''Yorks:''' Oh! You... ''have'' the [[TwentyBearAsses [centaur] hooves]]!\
40'''Aggie:''' They're ''not'' horse hooves!\
41'''Jonric:''' No! But where are ''our'' horses? They... had to die!\
42'''Violet:''' Stolen! Our horses were ''stolen'', and these are ''not'' their feet.
43* TakeAThirdOption
44* {{Troll}}: If getting adventures to kill their own horses ForTheLulz doesn't make you qualify, what does?
45* TwentyBearAsses: A ferryman (actually Yorks in disguise) sent the group to retrieve twelve centaur hooves. [[spoiler:They later realize the horses would suffice, and they don't like them anyways.]]
46* WeirdCurrency: Ogres use severed fingers for money.
47* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Episode 8 involves the characters running into a riddling bear, who (of course) stumps Jonric. Episode 9 begins with no explanation as to how the bear was resolved.
48* YouAllMeetInAnInn: The premise of the first episode.
