The wizard of the Order of the Scribble was killed by Xykon about six months before the events of the Dungeon of Dorukan. While the two were fairly evenly matched, Xykon was able to win the battle by repeatedly casting Energy Drain. Xykon then bound Dorukan's soul into the same gem as Lirian's.

This sensitive cleric found himself on the tip of Belkar's knife.

The Sapphire Guard
"Oh Twelve Gods... what have I done?? Forgive me!"
Many paladins of the Sapphire Guard were killed by Xykon while defending Soon Kim's gate. Their ghosts arose immediately afterward to continue defending the gate alongside the ghosts of Soon Kim and, presumably, every other member of the Sapphire Guard who had previously died. The ghosts were then destroyed by Xykon and Redcloak, and will be unable to return, since the gate they were sworn to protect has been destroyed. The only known survivors are Hinjo, O-Chul, and Lien. It is unclear how many other members of the Sapphire Guard, if any, remain alive.

The Oracle was stabbed by Belkar as a self-fulfillment of Belkar's prophecy. The Oracle had planned ahead so that the murder would activate Belkar's Mark of Justice. He was revived shortly afterward, and it is implied that this is not the first time he has died, nor will it be the last.

The Oracle's Mother
"XP don't earn itself."
The Oracle's portly mother died at some point before Haley, Belkar, and Celia visited the Oracle.

Greysky Citizens
"Mah wife said this won't work at all - but if it does, ah'm thinkin' of bringin' her tomorrow night."
A number of residents of Greysky City were murdered before or during Celia's visit. This appears to be a common occurrence.

Grubwiggler's Monsters
"Raaarrrgh!"
One of Hieronymus Grubwiggler's golems walked straight off a broken bridge during Haley, Belkar, and Celia's escape. More were killed by Belkar, Haley, and the Thieves' Guild when they recaptured Roy's body. Grubwiggler's Mega-Golem was destroyed by Belkar via 'a spike in each brainpan.'

Pit Fiend
"Great, now I'm cursed. Mom was right, I am an embarrassment."
The pit fiend that Qarr summoned was petrified by Vaarsuvius.

Kubota’s Ninjas
"He's just knocked out - for now. Don't worry, you're about to join him."
Several ninjas sent to kill the Katos were instead killed by an angry pregnant Kazumi Kato. One more was killed by Therkla.

Kubota’s Samurai
"Maybe you're squeezing him too hard?"
The two samurai Kubota brought to the Katos' ship were killed by Elan and Therkla.

Therkla
"No thanks, then...I'll take my chances that the Afterlife...won't have any punishment worse...than not being with you."
Therkla tragically died in Elan's arms after being poisoned by her former friend Kubota. She was buried under a totally kickass headstone. Elan has since learned Neutralize Poison to prevent such a tragedy from recurring.

Daimyo Kubota
"Now come along, bring me before your master so that we may begin the Trial of the Century."
Kubota was disintegrated by Vaarsuvius after surrendering to Elan. Vaarsuvius used a Gust of Wind spell to scatter Kubota's ashes so he could not be revived.

Thieves' Guild Rogues
"Sure, but I don't see what that has to do with-"
At least seven members of the Thieves' Guild were killed by Haley, including Toby, George, and the Munez twins. Thirteen more (including Chuck) were killed by Belkar, with a little help from the cleric and Mr. Scruffy. Haley later killed seven more with her Bow of +5 Icy Burst, much to the dismay of Bozzok. Another eye-patched rogue was killed by Grubwiggler's Mega-Golem when they returned to retrieve Roy's body.

Old Blind Pete
"No! NO! I'm sorry! I'm sorry, it was all a-"
"Brainy Pete" was killed by an old friend he had betrayed. The cleric of Loki, egged on by Belkar, brutally bashed Pete's head in with a mace.

Meatballs
"You get a train over there, and you make them an aggro they can't refuse."
These people were apparently killed to garnish the Boss Monster's spaghetti.

Ganonron, Haera Bloodsoak, and Jephton the Unholy
"It was fun while it lasted."
These three epic magic users died at some point before Vaarsuvius met Lee, Nero, and Cedrik.

Choir of Dead Pedophiles
"Bunkus! Nonsuch! Gibberos! Gobbleygoos!"
Lee, Cedrik, and Nero keep these guys around to chant faux Latin during evil ascensions to power.

Ancient Black Dragon (and Extended Family)
"For a moment, I thought...I thought it has all been for nothing."
The mother dragon was unable to exact her revenge on Vaarsuvius's family. Instead, she was ripped apart when V shapechanged into a dragon from inside her stomach. V then reanimated her head in order to use Haerta Bloodsoak's customized Familicide spell, which, in an instant, killed every living creature that directly shared her bloodline. Vaaruvius estimated that the spell killed approximately one fourth of the black dragon population. His revenge fulfilled, Vaarsuvius then killed the dragon with one final Disintegration. This act ended up having quite a bit of unintended consequences.

The Draketooth Family
"your fault"
The family guarding the gate in the Windy Canyon was found dead under mysterious circumstances by the Order of the Stick. As it turns out, the family was descended from a black dragon, causing them to be affected by Vaarsuvius' Familicide spell. They were then raised as mummies by Malack and used to attack the Order of the Stick. Five were destroyed by Roy in the ensuing battle.

Giro
"I'll die before I tell you!"
Hieronymus Grubwiggler's assistant was killed by Crystal before Haley could get any information out of him.

Hieronymous Grubwiggler
"Call off your allies and we'll-"
Grubwiggler was killed by Crystal's Death Attack after Haley convinced him to stand down peacefully.

Crystal
"You double-crossing whore, when Bozzok raises me-"
Crystal was finally killed by her rival Haley just before the Order left Greysky city. Haley ambushed Crystal after a shower and murdered her in her bedroom, taking her knife and magic items for herself.

Roy Golem
"Whoa."
The bone golem made from Roy's skeleton was crushed by Vaarsuvius so Roy could be resurrected.

Demon Roach
"HEY! Jailbreak! Helloooo, we have a jailbreak over- Ah, crap."
One of the Demon Roaches was killed by O-Chul during his escape from Xykon's stronghold. It's unclear whether the demon roaches are outsiders, so it may not have actually died.

Hobgoblin Patrol
"Liberation: Commencing."
A squad of five hogoblins was killed by Team Peregrine.

Add another "great to see this back!" sentiment, especially given the discussion at the Character Appearances thread. I have, however, a minor correction, and a thought about aggregation:

1) Minor correction: "Somebody" was probably tortured for Tarquin's Ring of Regeneration, not Restoration.

Post-Don't Split the Party

Somebody
"Wait, who do you consider a 'somebody'?"
Tarquin probably tortured somebody to death to get his Ring of Restoration Regeneration.

2) A nice thing about the Character Appearances thread was the aggregation aspect: who has appeared the most? Who is the closest to overcome this or that character? This required of Wrecan (I imagine) some sort of spreadsheet or other model of grouping/aggregating data. While the Graveyard is undoubtedly great as it stands, it would be even better if it could answer things like "who's the deadliest?" or "who has killed the most named characters?" (since, say, Belkar has killed innumerable hobos, but Xykon (I think) has killed the most "significant" characters)... Of course, I'm not saying you must, or that it'll suck if you don't, but since you're finding new energy, I take the liberty to point this factor to your attention. It'd be doubly great if we could see whether, say, Tsukiko had offed more dudes than Haley, or see who has killed the most "high-level" antagonists.


Regardless, I applaud your choice to keep their last lines or meaningful quip about their deaths. It makes each of them much more relevant and poignant within the story.

All right. I had been under the impression he had died, based on Roy's line in the first panel of the next strip, but looking at it again, the 'other guy' he says died is clearly Evisceratus, the dead gladiator. So, yeah, fixed.

A while back I had posted two lists of characters (by kill count and kill relevance). As it was based solely on the death markers on the character appearance thread (which are sadly disappearing) it is far from exhaustive. And has also not been updated from the original posting. I'm not sure how relevant it is even to this thread, and I really don't have the time to maintain this sort of a list, but for anyone interested -

Spoiler

Show

I don't know if this had been done before, but looking at the super-text 'killed by' markings for each character, I thought it might also be interesting to maintain a list of Kill Counts for each character.

I've compiled a rudimentary list based on the Killed/Dismissed By markings in this thread which goes:

List of Characters Ordered by the Number of Recognizable Characters They've Killed/Dismissed On-Screen:

1. The Leading Cause of Death in Ootsworld happens to be the Unknown, accounting for the deaths of 53 recognizable characters.

2. Unsurprisingly, the highest number of kills by any recognisable being in Ootsworld is Xykon at 44, making him the most lethal character so far, followed by:

3. Redcloak with 36

4. Belkar with 26

5. The Snarl with 10

After the top 5 we have Miko, V, and Haley with 8 apiece; Roy and Elan with 7; Old Age accounting for 5; Thog (4); Durkon (3); O-Chul, Scruffy, Nale, Crystal, Jones & Rodriguez, and Tsukiko with 2 each; and Kubota, Therkla, Lien, Tarquin, Cathy, EoB, and Sabine with just the one.

It's interesting to note that the Characters making to the top 5 are arguably the most evil. Note also, that Xykon and Redcloak's count goes astronomical largely thanks to the Battle for Azure City.

This is just a rudimentary list of course, without having distinguished kills from dismissals, or temporary deaths from permanent removals. A more comprehensive list could also include stats for Monsters Killed and Indisinguishable Mooks slaughtered.

Also if we weight the stats according to Kill Relevance, by assigning one point per character appearance of each character killed, we get a measure of the relative plot lethality of each character (in a way) which goes:

List of Characters by Kill Relevance:

1. This time the list is dominated by Xykon at a whopping 781 points- mainly for the unique distinction of having killed the main character of the comic.

2. Redcloak follows with 403, for having killed both Xykon and

Spoiler

Show

his own brother Righteye

.

3. The Unkown is pushed to 3rd with 313 points.

4. Miko jumps to 4th with 236 for the death of Shojo, mainly.

5. Snuffing out Xykon places Roy firmly in the top 5 with 204.

6. Belkar, disappointingly is 6th with a measely 126 inspite of having 26 onscreen recognisable character kills to his name. Clearly he's not killing the right people.

7. Old Age is the 7th most plot relevant cause of death in the Ootsworld with 91 points (inspite of a Kill total of 5)

after which we have:

8. V - 58
9. Haley - 56
10. Elan - 24
11. O-Chul - 23
12. Kubota - 22
13. The Snarl - 20
14. Mr Scruffy - 18
15. Durkon - 17
16. Nale - 14
17. Crystal - 12
18. Thog - 7
18. J&R - 7
19. Therkla - 5
20. Tsukiko - 4
21. Lien - 3
22. Tarquin - 2
22. Cathy - 2
23. EoB - 1
24. Sabine - 1

Yeah, I'd been having issue with ones like this, that happened in the past, but at an unknown time. (The valedictorian, for example, was killed at least 7 years before it was mentioned.) The reference is dated, but it would have had to have happened sometime after Ian was captured by 'Tyranar', and could have happened any time while the Order was doing things back east. I mde sort of a compromise for now, and I'll revisit it later.

Is Thog dead? It was pretty hard to tell if those were fangs or Xs with all that rubble on top of him. While Nale talked about bringing him along again, it's not like being dead would have been much of an obstacle.

And even if he survived, he's no longer arena champion, so they would have little reason not to slit his throat any more... which Tarqin already said he wanted to do.

And even if he survived, he's no longer arena champion, so they would have little reason not to slit his throat any more... which Tarqin already said he wanted to do.

We never get any confirmation either way. Tarquin says that they won't know if he survived until they dig him out, and later, says he won't work with Thog simply because he's a loose cannon, which implies he survived. Unless we hear some later implication that Tarquin had Thog killed, I won't put him on.

What about the rich man whose flying carpet was stolen by Tarquin's companion? ("Indeed, I promise he only missed it for a few seconds.") Did I just overlook that one?

Tyrinar should be placed in the pre-DCF list, since he was killed while Nale was still with Tarquin.

We never get any confirmation either way. Tarquin says that they won't know if he survived until they dig him out, and later, says he won't work with Thog simply because he's a loose cannon, which implies he survived. Unless we hear some later implication that Tarquin had Thog killed, I won't put him on.

It doesn't really, because they could just have him raised. Still not official, though.

I'd say he counts, also in the pre-Western Continent list.

Malack's children should also go there, now that I think about it.

More Sea Monsters
"Great elven gods, it's as if they simply photocopied the Monster Manual and wrote a synonym for water in front of each entry!"
A group of aquatic hobgoblins were charmed by Qarr, attacked the fleet, and killed. Durkon also says they've still been getting attacked every week.

More of Grubwiggler's Monsters
"I'll be frank, Yor, your comedy stylings keep me in stitches!"
Belkar and the Thieves' Guild destroyed more of Grubwiggler's golems.

Hieronymous Grubwiggler and Giro
"I'll die before I tell you!"
Giro and Grubwiggler were killed by Crystal during the retrieval of Roy's corpse.

Also, Roy's golem should probably be added.

Damn Kubota! He murder his own people. He got what he deserved by turned into Ashes and Dust.

I was wrong to compare him to Ulfric Stormcloak since he's way more evil than that Thalmor Agent Nationalist

For the love of humanity, man, stop spamming threads with random comparisons to Skyrim. Please.
