Eh, they've already said that the post-story adventure will be coming back to reinforce the Western Continent Resistance in OotS II: Order Stickier

Hah, I just realised that back in their first confrontation, Tarquin is all 'look, it's early, you go off and get some levels and angst and come back and deal with me later' and Elan angrily refuses, and then that's what the final situation is.

Actually Tarquin's Empire is going to be taken out by the B-Team in the background, made out of Haley's dad, the lizard bounty hunters, that lady from the last city he betrayed and I think maybe someone else? It's been like seven years or something. Tarquin himself might die from his involvement with the gates and the main plot.

Haley's traitor Uncle Geoff is the last member of that team now that he's come clean about working for Bozzak.

It's pretty crazy that Tarquin has now been a part of OOTS for as long as it existed when he was introduced.

Obviously Haleys dad and Geoff are rogues, but what would the lady be? I'm thinking a sort of different styled Paladin.
Like, a Paladin, just not the Blue type, and more about righteous anger than Honor and such.


Plus, wheres the healer in the group? They still need a cleric or a druid

Long shot -- that cleric that healed Belkar back in Greysky City ended up on the Western Continent to hide, and gets roped in.

Nothing we have seen of her suggests anything more than a plain Fighter or Warrior. She's seeking revenge for her husband's Uriahcide, but that doesn't automatically make her a magically-empowered herald of retribution.

Well, nothing to also NOT make her a World of WarCraft style Retribution Paladin type.

I mean, the gods of the western area mostly seem to be well, darker?
Anyway, no reason she shouldn't dedicate her self to one of the gods of vengeance, or whatever.

Tarquin's group is involved with the Snarl after the psionic scanned the gate. We'll probably be seeing them again before the end of the story.

You forget that after she scanned the gate, the Snarl loving ERUPTED from the rift.
Whether Lauren and company are still around to tell Tarquin is a toss up.

aNYWAY,

If they're not, Tarquin'll want to know what's going on that took out some of his co-conspirators, and the gate's still important to keep track of it even if they can't use it.

And if Rich weren't buried in like a dozen side stories to write then yeah, a B-team tale of secondary characters teaming up to dismantle the multi-Empire conspiracy would be interesting - but at the same time, the best thematic revenge on Tarquin might just be him being beaten offscreen. Nobody cares for the villain who gets sweeped as part of the "everything's good everywhere now" ending montage.

Eh, the page I linked makes it clear that barring party/planet wipe endings, the plan is definitely for the OotS to go hook up with the B-Team. It makes a good 'the adventures continue' hook, and Roy, Elan and Haley definitely have the motivation. V might go looking for centuries of atonement instead, and god knows if Belkar or Durkin will be around.
