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)

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.

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

Every dwarf, every dwarven man, women, and child, that comes to our forts will die there; it's truly sad when you think about it. And we ask our selves, why? Why do we push forward, knowing this fate, that we are destined for failure? Because, this game grasps the concept of mortality. Some games you can never lose, but we all stop eventually, causing a 'death' to those game's 'worlds'. Dwarf Fortress gives us a definite end, knowing that we will leave that world eventually, and move on to more.

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.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
