(( That sparks an idea. In this time of peril how about another surviving group comes to our aid "a filler group". They are also split up and have the same number of people as us. They don't have to permanent. In fact they don't even have to die. They just pop in once in a while when our paths cross. How this has anything to do with the villain I have no idea....unless Zaida hired them to befriend us and then steal away the amulet when we least expect it. Again, just bouncing ideas around. ))
