Ehum... returning to the art:

These are some great concepts and the I really enjoy the style in general. Nice pixeling with lots of character!

Some critique via edit:
At 1x and 2x res I was loosing a lot the the detail in the clothing so slight lightening of olive color.
The green cape on the leftmost guy wasn't coming through so i swapped around the colors and shadowed the cape.
Much increased saturation on the magic to make it magic and pop toward the otherwise gray colors.
Added shadowing on the wizard to imply glowing magic.

One thing I'm not sure about is the dwarven axeman on the far right seems to be looking at the wizard, yet his beard is still front and centre. Is he looking left or right?

He's looking right. Where do you see him looking left?

When it's zoomed out, it really seems that he's looking left, cause part of helm looks like eyes, and his left cheek is like a nose. Maybe you should add more contrast, or redesign the helmet (make the helmet nose part more narrow by erasing one pixel column on the right side). Here is some quick edit, it's not finished but you can see my idea.

yeah that is exactly it, I thought that was his eye. I think it could be fixed without changing the colour of the helm however.

I had a go, I put more beard on and covered up some skin that made it as if he was looking left, elongated the helm side pieces and gave him a mouth


and here is one with a second as slot on top of everything else
