Understanding ~並みに and ending a sentence with a noun


The sentence in question is: カズマの発言にいきり立つ、ゴブリン並みに短気な二人。

I get first part of getting angry at Kazuma's statement but the second part
has 2 things I don't quite get:

1.並み after the word goblin, the word has so many meanings on Jisho but I'm not
sure which, if any of them actually fit here.

2.The sentence ends in 二人, which is a noun. Based on what I've learned,
shouldn't the last part of a sentence always be a verb?




１． ～[並]{な}み, when attached to a noun as a suffix, means "the same level as ~~"
"to the same degree as ~~" "equal to ~~". ゴブリン並みに短気 means "as short-tempered
as goblins" "short-tempered just like goblins".

２．It ends with a noun because it's a noun phrase containing relative clauses.

> ［カズマの発言にいきり立つ、］［ゴブリン並みに短気な］二人。  
>  _Lit_ : "The two, who are as short-tempered as goblins and get furious at
> Kazuma's statement."

This is a kind of rhetorical technique called "[体言]{たいげん}[止]{ど}め". For more on
