He's joined by Markus, a disillusioned SquishyWizard, Angie, a [[NiceGirl friendly]] {{Druid}}, Alex, a [[TheStoic stoic]] KnifeNut and Garand, a QuirkyBard [[TheLoad with no fighting skills.]] Uknown to his companions, Krag hired them to help him slay the dragon that killed his father. The group will have to [[TookALevelInBadass take several levels in badass]] along the way if they are to have a chance, though.

* BloodKnight: [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Krag]] and [[KnifeNut Alex]] both throughly enjoy violence. In fact, when Krag is doing his RousingSpeech to try to convince the others to help him hunt down a dragon, all he says to her is "you'll get to kill something."

* Elfeminate: [[spoiler: Being an elf is a metaphor for being gay in this universe, at least in the case of Garand. The episode where he tells the others is literally called "Coming Out."]]

* CharacterAlignment:
** Krag is ChaoticNeutral, Markus and Garand are TrueNeutral and Angie is NeutralGood.
** Alex seems to be either ChaoticNeutral or ChaoticEvil, it's hard to tell.
** Quigley is LawfulGood, as evidenced by his adherence to everything written in his book on heroics.

* EnthrallingSiren The group encounters some and Garand ends up fighting them with music.

* BillyElliotPlot: Apparently, Krag wanted to be a dentist in the past, which his father did not approve of.

* ShoutOut: Krag asks Quigly if he's ready to [[StarTrek "boldly go"]] in episode 7 of season 2.

He's joined by Markus, a disillusioned SquishyWizard, Angie, a [[NiceGirl friendly]] {{Druid}}, Alex, a [[TheStoic stoic]] KnifeNut and Garand, a QuirkyBard [[TheLoad with no fighting skills.]] Though the others don't know this, Krag hired them to help him in his quest to slay the dragon that killed his father. The thing is, the group will have to [[TookALevelInBadass take several levels in badass]] along the way if they are to have a chance.

The series parodies common fantasy tropes, particularly those common to [[TabletopRPG tabletop RPGs]]. This is especially true of the first season, which is shut in the manner of a {{Mockumentary}}. The second season revolves around Krag trying to get rid of a curse and [[CerebusSyndrome is much more drama heavy]].

-> '' "...and we were [[TitleDrop walking in circles]] again and again and again and again..."''

* [[spoiler: ShooOutTheClowns: Garand dies at the start of the more serious season 2. Subverted when Quigly is introduced not long after and fills a similar role doing season 2.]]

!! WalkingInCircles contains examples of:

--> ''"Next time I do interviews, it will '''not''' be in a bar, because when you're in a bar you drink, and when you drink you hire people who can do lute riffs behind their back and not people who can guide you through unfamiliar forrested areas."''

* TeethClenchedTeamWork: None of them seem to really like each other all that much. Krag thinks all the others are weaklings, Markus thinks he's smarter than everyone else, Angie can't stand how callous the others are about violence, they all think Garand is annoying and everyone is scared of [[TokenEvilTeamMate Alex]].
