Isn’t that one of the BeeGees?

Everyone must be twirling.

Mind you don’t cut your fingers, now.
Agreed, you can tell whose important, because he has a discreet TING! on the HANDLE of his mighty sword. (Which the tag wizard didn’t notice, apparently.)

“Aarr, Jim lad! Forget looking for treasure and make thy fortune writing fantasy paperbacks, I tell thee!”

Dear lord that’s bad.
All 3 of the non-Bee Gee people are holding up their swords as if to say “What are these? Lightsabers? Isn’t that a potentially costly copyright infringement?”
And how come its windy enough for those heavy looking cloaks to be billowing while their manes of hair remain resolutely coiffed?

I’m guessing that the robes stand out on their own like hoop skirts. Or they could be generating powerful winds of their own beneath their robes — but in a magically sublime, non-crass way of course.

Is the test he has to pass how to breathe without any spacesuit while in outer space?

His one last test … Stayin’ Alive ah ah ah.

Um……ABBA, not the BeeGees.

Far be it from me to take anything away from ABBA or the BeeGees, but might I suggest a young Kenny Rogers?

Kris Kristofferson?

Boy, this is reminding me of the old Dungeons and Dragons days. Those four are outfitted in off-the-rack D&D adventurer style circa. 1980.
Only … for some reason those swords are making me think of elongated popsicles.
I can’t work out how their movements and the air can make their capes do that. I think either Dead Stuff With Big Teeth is right — they’re twirling — or Yoss is right and they’ve got hoop skirt foundations holding them out.

That awkward moment when you realize that everyone else at the costume party ALSO decided to go with a red-cape/glowing-sword combo.

“Hey Kenny, check it out – when you turn the lights out – these swords glow!”

Being “The Living One” isn’t much of a distinction, you know.

What’s with the Yuletide fonts?? Are these guys on a mission to save Santa Clause in space??

“The blade glows blue when Problematic Fonts are close. And it’s times like these, my lad, when have to be extra careful…”

“Håh håh håh håh! Ai kän krush the blade öf my swørd with my bäre händs!”, shouted Benny to his fellow bandmembers.

The title of the book is The Living ONE. Which implies that three of these four people are actually dead. But which one is living???
The fellow in the back there has been shaded darkly, so I think we can rule him out. Kenny Rogers’ inability to feel pain is a dead give away, if you’ll excuse the pun. That leaves either of the two women. Hmm…
