* Jerk with a heart of gold: Ironically enough, Joey. As much as he claims to only want money, there are DOZENS of moments in the campaign where Joey actually shows himself to be an overall decent person. He even lampshades it when trying to bring the elves and Bonerton into a mutual agreement, stating that he wouldn't profit either way, and just thought it was the right thing to do. Perhaps the sweetest moment is when a messenger of Ioun tells Joey his punishment for taking one of Ioun's books: Miriam Webster getting progressively worse punishment every hour. Keep in mind that Miriam has, at this point in the campaign, been gone an INCREDIBLY long time, and all the party members basically admit she's gone for good. [[spoiler: Thankfully, [[The Bus came back Miriam DOES rejoin the part only about nine sessions later]]]] How does Joey react, despite the fact Miriam has no way to thank him, reward him, or help him in ANY way?

[[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Joey shows genuine concern for someone who can do nothing for him.]]

--> '''Joey''': [[Bigwhat WHAT!?]]

* Big Bad: TECHNICALLY Apafi, as his plotline is the most prevalent and discussed, as well as the most pressing, but the party doesn't actually see him often [[spoiler: Actually, at all.]] after he starts his master stroke. It's practically played for laughs, as, after the one year timeskip to Paragon tier, the first time Miriam decides to check on how much progress Apafi has made in destroying the multi-verse, Syrg has to be given some ideas as to what area of the multi-verse he has eaten...and ends up choosing a first level adventure module as the unfortunate victim of Apafi's power. It's lampshaded to hell and back as well, with Syrg sometimes using Apafi's name or goal as a joke, such as naming one of the paths in [[spoiler: Kensignton's]] school 'A pathi.' It's implied however that Apafi may be the end boss, and he is brought up multiple times in the party as being considered a threat, so the jury's still out whether or not Apafi will stay the big bad.

* WaterIsBlue: Minerelle once wonders if she's hallucinating a green sky because... why not?

* SapientHouse: The party encounters one fairly early on, which they find out is called Gwendolyn. It alternates between hating them (trapping Joey briefly) and helping them (killing the Doppelganger which had been troubling the party and generally responding positively to Bananaramawicz's attempts at diplomacy).

* FatalFlaw: Minerelle's Cowardice, Joey's Greed, Miriam's [[UnstoppableRage Anger]], Gibnaf's [[ChronicHeroSyndrome Unselfishness]], and Kod's Pride. [[spoiler: The former is particularly notable as Minerelle's strict running policy led her away from Joey and Kod, meaning when she went down there was no one to save her from being KilledOffForReal.]]

* Joey Hoofsz (Wolfshirt). A warlord and the leader of the group. He is unable to intimidate a room.

* HeroismIncentive: There is literally no reason these people should be travelling together, and some of them are constantly trying to murder/arrest/impersonate one another. Usually requires [[PlotRelatedMagics macguffins]] from Syrg to continue the game.

* SureWhyNot: Common in Syrg's DMing style. The party has, for instance, named Skullfucker Johnson the demon and the city of Bonerton, the latter of which became a running joke until they finally managed to visit it.

* Kensington R. Killjoy Esq. ({PlasmaMan}). A warlock, and sarcastic, demonic lawyer.

* Minerelle Orr ({PoorWeather}). A psion who enjoys mind-control a little too much.

* Sergeant Kodrinschreiner ({PlasmaMan}). A War-forged paladin.

* Witch Bwoy (Also known as [[IHaveManyNames Ricardo/Jellybean/Frederick/Rudolf/Zodiac/Beethoven/etc]]) ({PlasmaMan}). A mute floating scarecrow wizard.

-->'''{PlasmaMan}''': I am going to murder this entire party someday, whether I do it with the righteous paladin or the scheming demon is all up to them.

* LogicBomb: Discussed as to why Kod would be useless against Bureaucrats, Plaz gives an example that works stunningly well...on PoorWeather.

* Kensington R. Killjoy Esq. (PlasmaMan). A warlock, and sarcastic, demonic lawyer.

* Minerelle Orr (PoorWeather). A psion who enjoys mind-control a little too much.

* Sergeant Kodrinschreiner (PlasmaMan). A War-forged paladin.

* Witch Bwoy (Also known as [[IHaveManyNames Ricardo/Jellybean/Frederick/Rudolf/Zodiac/Beethoven/etc]]) (PlasmaMan). A mute floating scarecrow wizard.

-->'''PlasmaMan''': I am going to murder this entire party someday, whether I do it with the righteous paladin or the scheming demon is all up to them.

--> '''Syrg''': You have completely cleaved it in two. Unfortunately, you just cleaved an evil tome in two. What do you think is going to happen?

* Denouement: So many fights end earlier than they should and Syrg sulks as a result.

* LittleMissSnarker: PoorWeather, when she's out of character. Minerelle is more just crazy.
