The series continues with more mixture of parody and fantasy tropes. It is portrayed as a "true" account of past items that have occured. There is still the conflict between the wizards and warriors, with the badness of witches. A significant part of the story is spent on a "quest", only they don't know the precise rules. They do eventually discover that it was in part a response to trickery of their forebears. The actual adventures are somewhat less important than the adventure undertaken to get there. It often feels like a vehicle for comedic commentary.
