And, like I've said, we've picked out the members who are dedicated.

Between an archer, a mage, a knight, a wyvern rider and possibly a healer, we actually have a half-decent team.

And this doesn't even count any NPC members we decide to retain or recruit. Assuming we can still get that far, of course, given the general pacing.
But then again, now that we have the dedicated characters lined up and finals almost over, perhaps things can end up moving a bit more smoothly.
