The first and least ambitious of the Mythica series of Kickstarted D&Dish movies, A Quest for Heroes is the standard getting the band together movie. The Wizard is a slave girl, secretly being tutored in the ways of magic by Kevin Sorbo. He has to leave town, though, because the movie can only afford him for one scene. On his way out, he urges the Wizard to flee her master and seek her fortune as an adventurer, by going to the adventurers' tavern outside of town and joining a party. Meanwhile, the Cleric's temple is overrun by orcs, most of the priests killed, and several of the other priests and the relic they've been guarding taken as loot. She heads to the adventurers' tavern to recruit a party to free the prisoners and recapture the relic. You see where that's going. To round out the group, they bust the Fighter out of jail and the Thief out of the mayor's wife's bedroom. Then it's off to fight a typical selection of first-level monsters including orcs, an ogre, and a cave troll. Unlike the sequels, A Quest for Heroes mostly lives within its means and thus manages to be better -- and, not coincidentally, less interesting -- than any of them. Alas.
