Laue, you needn't feel the need to push our characters close together as a team so soon or all at once. We're not a group of superheros, some of the best RPs I've been in were the ones were the cast split off into two groups who eventually met up or ones where some people played the nemesis of others.

Not saying that we shouldn't all be together but maybe just let it happen more naturally rather than it kind of being "you art the sacred chosen ones of the holy prophecy" (imagine that in a chinese ninja master's voice). 

Maybe you could go save Rinic's hide from the demon and you guys travel together for a time.
