Betting on a character dying is the 'free space' of homestuck.  You don't win for predicting a death.

Unless you bet on them dying in some very odd and unusual way, that you somehow predicted exactly, right up to the person who caused it.

Robot=Arquiusprite: Robot with rectangle "eyes".  Blue because of Equius, though it is odd that Caliborn wouldn't draw Arquius red.

Caliborn is cutting these characters out of Ed Emberly's "Make A World" though. Like, as in this is a for-reals and actual book that exists. Hussie is using scans of the book in these panels.

He refers to the wolf as "he" though, and it's black with red eyes.  If it were Jade it would have green eyes.  Bec doesn't visibly have red eyes, but carapaces are rendered very symbolically.  I think the wolf is Bec Noir.

I don't think the side on the right

So, Witch = Condesce, Wolf = Jade, and Robot = Jane. I'm going to go on a limb, and assume the Horse is Arquisprite. You guys can sort out the symbolism for what's going to go down when Dirk gets back from that.

He refers to the wolf as "he" though, and it's black with red eyes.  If it were Jade it would have green eyes.  Bec doesn't visibly have red eyes, but carapaces are rendered very symbolically...  I think the wolf is probably Bec Noir.

Here's my theory in order from most to least certain:

Boat=Vriska: Clear reference to Team Treasure Hunt.  It seems to be merely observing, though.

Witch=Calliope: Green skin.  Caliborn calls her horrible, has her killed ASAP.  She drops erotic fan fiction when slain.  Possibly connected to or summoned by the boat.  Caliborn said Calliope's death would be her greatest achievement and that her friends would be happy, implying a plan where she lets the players kill her to save the day.

Wolf=Bec Noir: Or maybe the mayor, heh.  Om nom nom.

Robot=Arquiusprite: Robot with rectangle "eyes".  Blue because of Equius, though it is odd that Caliborn wouldn't draw Arquius red.  Not sure about this one.  The moustache makes me think Grandpa Harley, really.  That adventurous coot sure has a way of turning up unexpectedly (he did somehow reach the medium, he was on John's... planet...).

Dave=Dave.  I really am unsure about this.

Horse=Tavros }:D  Yes I am 100% sure of this it is totally going to be true and awesome I just have to believe a whole lot and then it becomes slightly less bullshit.

Overcautious spoiler for Bladekindeyewear prediction:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There is a whole lot of evidence that Dave will die, probably in a heroic or suicidal self-sacrifice.  Bladekind predicted that Roxy (or maybe Davesprite?) might prevent this fate by dying in his place (In Roxy's case "stealing" his fate, and "Doing whatever is best for her children").  I don't think the horse is Roxy... My guess would be either Maplehoof or Davesprite.  Maaaybe Dirk.

Edit:
I'm starting to lean towards the horses being Dirk-brain-ghost-splinters serving as a communication system for the team, possibly relaying guidance information from Rose.  The undamaged horse being the "real" Dirk, fighting alongside Dave.

I'm going to say Eridan's the boat.

The boat can't be Vriska, because Vriska is the Whale.

But what is the line of Viking Sky Warriors?

... I was not aware of this!  Wow.

Touche.

It would be the first heroic god-tier death... might also involve him scratching the cherub session with no way back.

[Descan]

Yeah, I'm totally in MSPA guys.

Have you been buzzed by any flying horses lately?

[Descan]

Well, it -is- a Sunday...

Update!

[Blade Master Model 42]

This is the first time we've seen glasses get stomped into oblivion while they're being worn.

[Furtuka]

And suddenly I realize John may be trying to get a message out to the shipping fanfic writers.

[Mageziya]

I think he broke Jo-

Actually,

This is a good thing.

And suddenly I realize John may be trying to get a message out to the shipping fanfic writers.

Oh my god.  This is the first time I've tuned in for like a year or something, maybe more, and it's this. . . HELL YES.

[Bauglir]

I am pleased with this.
