Doesn’t everybody die in Act II? or Is this a comedy or a tragedy?

Alright, who invited Trouble?
“Meihem and malarky are words that such a man as yourself need not be
concerned. However, it seems to me most imminent that we quell them in
others.” Your mission, should you choose to accept it… no, wait. That’s been done before. “I believe that trouble has made its entrance, and however it is costumed, it did not have an invitation. While trouble is a Cousin of mine,” he chuckles, “I claim no kinship to it if it puts others at risk. Certainly, I think we must round up any gatecrashers. If you and yours, at least of mine,” he refers to the Order of the Ruby, “can begin to handle those of risk?”

A number of thoughts pass through Brennan’s mind, and probably across
his face. ‘Ah, still dangerously insane,’ is one of them. ‘Can’t
dance until you quit with the hot air balloon trick, snookums,’ is
another.

It sucks to be an NPC
GM: So, the second trombonist dies for nothing…
Blake: That only assumes that second trombonists are actually worth something…:) (and that flying cards thrown by levitating psychodramatists from Chaos are not close range Amber-seeking anti- personnel devices).
And later:
GM: Mrs. Trombonist and all the little Trombonists (including poor, crippled Tiny Trombonist) will be tightening their belts this spring without good old Second. It’s such a tragedy, really. He’d just had the family name changed, too. Thought Sackbut lacked dignity…
Blake: Better than having to sell of all the little Trombonists for scientific experiments…
