Journey Quest Is One Of The Better Web Series On YouTube

I mentioned this briefly in a an article a while back, but there are some very nice web series on YouTube that I enjoy. One such series is called Journey Quest and is the brain child of the people at Zombie Orpheus and the The Dead Gentlemen. Actually, The Dead Gentleman created the independent movie franchise, The Gamers. The latest movie, The Gamers 3: Hands Of Fate, is being shown as a web series on YouTube as I write this.

Journey Quest has run for two seasons with a third season already paid for and being planned. It tells the tale of four adventures on a quest for the Sword Of Fighting. The series is written by people who have played Role Playing Games at the table, so there is that sort of humor, but it can be amusing for non gamers who enjoy fantasy as well.

There is Glorion the fighter, who believes that killing equals honor. He's caused problems for the party by killing every Orc he sees, and now the Orcs are on their trail. There is Carrow the party healer, who tries to keep the Glorion from killing the party's Wizard.

That wizard is a cowardly man, who is equally bad at spell casting, named Perf. One has to wonder why he's even on this quest, but the answer lies in his feelings for the party's ranger, Nara. Nara believes the sword is her destiny.

A series of unfortunate events takes place in the first season as Carrow tracks down the fleeing Perf to warn him of the Orcs, only to get shot by a volley of arrows. Perf and Nara flee, only to fall right into the final room of the dungeon, the one with the much desired Sword Of Fighting, an intelligent, talking sword with an attitude.

Somehow, the sword ends up in the hands Perf, and that puts a bounty on the party's heads. As we follow along, we see Perf's feelings for Nara, but there's not much indication what she feels for him. Is it mutual? There is also Wren the bard, who tracks the party in secret to chronicle their exploits for her epic song. She has an encounter with the Orcs, and it appears the Orc leader, Rilk, is attracted to her. Will anything come of it?

There are several interesting characters and many well played out scenes during the two seasons, some of theses scenes are very amusing. Glorion is still in the dungeon, mowing down every obstacle that gets in his way, on a quest for the sword. What will happen when he discovers the sword is gone?

Journey Quest is not just about the humor. You start to like the characters and want to know what's next. There is quite a fan base for this show, and it's those fans who have donated to make the second and third seasons possible. I can't wait to see what's in store for season 3. I've included a link to the series web site below.
