Have an attack of ninja llamas and by the time they're gone your characters will be infused with action.
Or not.
I'm thinking of a) piling on the irritating gal by mixing dreams and reality a bit more until she doesn't know which way is up and b) getting the other gang stranded somewhere for awhile, which will involve lots of discussion and mean that they arrive late for the action so I can get it over with in a hurry. ;-)
