Obviously, they make it on time. What would be the point otherwise? The journey is fun anyhow, of course.
The tournament will take place for the same reason as above. But....as Lord Dragon sneakilly recruits a
sorceror to enchant his warriors and made them stronger, the group will be justified in adding magic as
well, at least to strengthen and heal them. After all, what would happen to Jeanne unless the earring falls off? I really don't see how you can use only brute force in such an important encounter.
Benoit will probably be one of the 13, or his journey will have been pretty futile. But he'll have to find
some inner strength somehow.
Marine's dad has worked hard , he deserves a rest, but Mom....that's a different story....she'll be found
and make the party significantly stronger.
Marine will fall in love eventually with Bokden....I just love him...And after training at the monastery,
due to being thrown out of town yet again, will reemerge as a mysterious masked ninja who fascinates
her...and of course teases her relentlessly!
