The retained Desperado Club staff train as a varied mercenary unit with melee, magic, healing, and control specialties.
The former performers and support staff occupy the guild's Mercenary Arcade. Repeated lethal drills reveal a broader combat roster than their club roles suggested.
Dong Quixote uses a lance and seeks a mount; Author Steve Rowland favors a club; Gluteus Maxx punches with twin war gauntlets; Splash Zone is a strong water mage; Bucket Boy provides healing; and Doctor Bones supplies crowd control and Conscript.
Carl watches their efficiency, then locks them in the arcade for a secret team-building exercise. Because only barracks residents train and gain levels, their presence also consumes most of the guild's current capacity.
A bizarre mixed unit of former entertainers posing with lance, club, gauntlets, water magic, healing bucket, and skeletal bard.
The group gives the Royal Court a flexible, already loyal NPC force whose value grows through arcade training.
