Actually, if my memory serves me right, Livia/you agreed to go on this quest (even though she wasn't initially invited). The course of the battle is a secondary matter.
Siver: "I'll go if Menti calls some friends."
Ment: "Alright, let's go!"
Plesen: "No, take a small sponsorship and leave."
Neyra: "Hmm, okay."
...
Revan: "Turn back, this isn't your thing."
Siv, Ment: "Well, I don't know, it doesn't fit our role-playing. There's also Neyra, but we'll have to wait a long time for her. Let's go!"
...
Neyra: :|

Besides, if I remember correctly, I only wrote 1 or 2 posts in the spirit of that "okay." Nothing else happened until I had a very late night and had to go to sleep. So, the next day, when I was reading the thread before work and saw how Yukimura suggested deviating from the path and the posts about some Tartarus, I realized that it would have been better to leave. But by then, the inevitable mess had already begun.
In short, it's very unfortunate that almost all the events happen precisely when I'm having a late night, while when I can participate in certain events, no one, especially the GM, is simply around. This leads to these not-so-good situations. But nothing can be done about it, I have no complaints. It's just that a small, annoying storm hasn't quite subsided yet.
