The Party:

The group consists of five regular players with a different guest each week. The regular players are:

Rookia is a half-elf Barbarian played by Kimberly Kane

Tizane Ildiko is a half-demon cleric played by Mandy Morbid

Satine Phoenix is on her second character--Shyla--a halfling bard who replaced the ill-fated Mirror - an elven thief

Varla is a dark-elf theif played by Frankie

Jinx is a halfling rogue played by Connie.

Backstory:

Since the 'Axe' girls' game was going on before the Escapist started filming it, the party had a few unfilmed adventures before what you can see on "I Hit It With My Axe". However, the only thing you need to know in order to follow the story on the show is that in the adventure just before the one shown in the first episode, the party had just returned to their home city--the icy northern city of Vornheim--where they drank, caroused, and got into some trouble with the local authorities.

Rules:

The "I Hit it With My Axe" group is using a house-ruled hybrid of AD&D and D&D 3.5.

The Episodes:

1-8 (With Sasha Grey) In these episodes, the authorities catch up with the party and send them on a mission to find and rescue the daughter of Eshrigel, a medusa* and a noble of Vornheim.

9-20 (With Justine Joli) The party finds the medusa's daughter and struggles to return home safely to Vornheim.

21+ The party arrives back in Vornheim with the medusa's daughter and the body of a dead party member and has to decide what to do from there.
