Plus one Turncoat was their leader, the government official in charge, and they realize he was The Mole. * Zig Zagged: The authorities are always trying to send new teams, which range from crack, well-trained teams to characters picked at random. * Averted: The team is constructed carefully. * Enforced: "The players are going to want to run their own characters; we need a scenario to fit them all in." * Lampshaded: "All groups of adventurers with no visible reason to stick together will be shot on sight." * Invoked: "Hey, everyone! Let's go take out the Dark Lord! Since none of us know each other or have the least in common, that's the best plan." * Defied: "I'll take the best men I can get, and I'll train them until they work together!" * Discussed: "But sire, how do you expect a farmboy, his dog, the princess, a 100 year-old wizard, and a cave woman to save our kingdom!?" * Conversed: "This anime contains so many strange crazy things as heroes. I bet this team of Ragtag Bunch of Misfits will triumph despite Big Bad despite what the town cryer thinks." Back to Ragtag Bunch of Misfits
