So Durkon knows it's Tarquin now...

@Haley spotting Kilkil and Malack
Haley was carefully aiming to insure her arrow hit the linear guild not the mummies, that means she would have to be able to see the linear guild to hit with the smoke stick/arrow. Also note that in the 858 stretch panel Kilkil is flying above the head height of both the mummies and the linear guild members. Even if she could not see Malack (and I agree seeing him would be tough) she probably saw Kilkil.

But would she have recognized Kilkil, or was all she saw some sort of flying lizard? It all depends on her spot check, and she was focused more on the arrow-catching fighter than trying to identify any of the new Linear Guild members.

At this point the Order would have to be deliberately made plot-stupid not to be able to put all the clues together and figure out Tarquin's identity.

What are all those clues, then?

The spotting of Kilkil isn't a big deal, Haley would have to roll really well to be able to identify him in the corridor.

They saw Malack (thats how they do the seperation of the enemy group), thats a dead giveaway seeing that they know how much Malack hates Nale. No Tarquin = no way Malack won't roast Nale.

Simple, no?

Or a simpler solution is that Roy saw the saw blade trap and the sliding door trap and thought, "hey, here is a good reason to launch a sneak attack here. We'll separate out some of the group so we don't have to worry about facing them all at once."

Remember, Roy though up the ambush well before Malack could have ever been spotted. Through a pack of mummies and the rest of the Linear Guild some distance away.

Roy didn't separate the group; Sabine's tail set off the sliding door trap. I'm sure Roy intentionally set up the ambush to catch the Linear Guild in the midst of a bunch of traps, so they'd stumble around and set some of them off, but there's no reason to think he was intentionally trying to cut off Malack. Nor is there any reason to think any of them saw Malack, who was after all at the rear of a large group.

No.

The Order didn't spot Malack, or at least there is not a single fact that indicates they did. The separation via shifting wall was unwillingly triggered by Sabine's tail in panel 2 of this strip.

Edit: Jere7my already made the point, I just added the link.

Okay — 861 settles this question, anyway. Roy and Haley didn't see Malack. Roy doesn't even know if the "mystery cleric" is male or female.

I think the case that anyone in the Order knows Tarquin and/or Malack is present is taking on water, m'self.
