Perhaps restarting with everybody already together, and already at the dungeon entrance would be best.

Lengthy intros are one of the easiest ways to kill off a game, all things considered. As we've seen, the players get bored, and then they start lashing out.

That sounds pretty good. The last version of this I was in died before even reaching the dungeon, kinda like this.
