Just a reminder to everyone. The best thing to do when fighting is to have anyone that can voke to ge the attention of the mobs (so they dont kill the Recruits) and then concentrate on a single enemy at a time. When i was watching your attempt last time (via Esty) you were all over the place, taking alot of extra damage that could have been avoided if you would have defeated enemies collectively. A Ninja definitely would help, though, since you didn't have time to rest your mages at all.
Anyways, those are just some things I wanted to point out that I'd noticed. If anyone else has better advice offer it so that we can be more successful. These can be quite fun and I'd like to get involved with some too.
