Merel acquired a lot of top-tier gear.
If I were made the leader, I would simply make Rafchik responsible for the business side of things (negotiations/purchases/hiring/etc.), especially since he likes to hang out in the city and chat, and I don't have much time. Or I could be a deputy who is responsible for handling unforeseen situations that threaten the completion of tasks.
Can we spend the ODs on something or do something with them?
