Be Careful What You Wish For: He asks Tarquin not to give him anything and to let him be an independent person.Bearded Baby: Flashbacks show that Nale had that goatee of his as a young boy.Beard of Evil: Which he started growing as a toddler.The first ( open) reveal of his evil was backstabbing Elan. Back Stab: Part of his skill-set as a rogue.Elan agrees, but wonders if he would have turned out any better in Nale's place. This is defied by Haley, who gently but honestly tells Elan that Nale was a terrible human being who deserved to die for spilling the blood of the innocent. Alas, Poor Villain: Elan certainly feels this way, since while Nale was evil, they were still family.However, it does mesh with Nale's vaunted "evil opposites" theme bards can't be lawful, so this multiclass combination enables Nale to have the same abilities as but the exact opposite alignment to his hated twin. Also, none of Nale's classes get Magic Music. note The abilities aren't an exact match sorcerors and bards have different spell lists (though Nale's multiclassing does restrict his spell progression to a similar rate to a bard), and rogues and bards have some separate abilities. A multiclassed fighter/rogue/sorcerer, this ironically means he has about the exact same abilities as his bard brother. Nale is horrified when Vampire Durkon kills Zz'dtri.Įlan's twin brother, raised by their Lawful Evil warlord father to be extremely ruthless. Villainous Friendship: Nale and Zz'dtri appear to have a legitimate friendship.Unwitting Pawn: The group are woefully unaware of the IFCC's manipulations except for Sabine, as she's their woman on the inside.

Nale and Sabine, obviously, but the third slot becomes vacant after Thog's mysterious departure from canon, and is filled by the returning Zz'dtri. Terrible Trio: Once reduced to its core members, it is three: Two Guys and a Girl.Turns out, they're The Psycho Rangers, deliberately assembled that way by their Genre Savvy leader. Similar Squad: The Linear Guild seems initially to be one for the Order of the Stick, especially in their introductory shot where they mirror exactly each member of the Order.Quirky Miniboss Squad: Reoccurring second-tier antagonists.The Psycho Rangers: Invoked by Nale with his "evil opposite" theme.It also doesn't rule out the possibility of Sabine or the IFCC resurrecting Zz'dtri. None of this precludes a new iteration of the Guild being formed - perhaps with the goal of taking down Tarquin and his empire.

The Linear Guild is, effectively, dead, a rare treatment for the Goldfish Poop Gang. The only member still around and in the game is Sabine. However, as of comic #913, Nale and Zz'dtri are both dead, Leeky and Pompey both abandoned the Guild ages ago, Hilgya reappears one arc later but has other things on her plate, Sir Scraggly is MIA (but its master's dead and his body buried under rubble anyways), and Thog is either dead or still imprisoned back in the Empire of Blood.

  • Goldfish Poop Gang: Lampshaded when our heroes realize that they do not have a permanent solution for disposing of them.
  • The Evil Genius: Zz'dtri is the mage for the party in its first incarnation, Pompey in its second, and then Zz'dtri returns for round three.
  • Evil Counterpart: Nale intentionally invokes this because he wants his minions to be "evil opposites" just like he is for Elan but he later defies it.
  • Equal-Opportunity Evil: Each lineup has shown significant diversity compared to every other adventuring party and evil organization in the comic.
  • At the arc's conclusion the Linear Guild is finished. Tarquin slowly usurping control from Nale by replacing half the Guild with his own people was to this end. Burlew wanted to showcase Nale at his most desperate as his teammates are all either killed or sent away leaving him closed off from allies and having to rely on his own (flawed) instincts.
  • Dwindling Party: During the Empire of Blood arc.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: "The Linear Guild is practically synonymous with taking disproportionate revenge over quasi-imagined slights!".
  • Averted with Kilkil, the latest to date, who does not fight Belkar.
  • Dead End Job: The team always includes a kobold, who invariably ends up killed in a horrific/amusing manner.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: They have literal business cards.
  • Thog is genuinely stupid but Tarquin plays the role initially and claims that he will take Nale's orders when they both know better.
  • The Brute: Thog and Tarquin are powerful fighters who work for Nale.
  • Affably Evil: The more personable characters of the group are this, such as Hilgya Firehelm.
