Definitely get more spellcasters. I'm using a Wizard and two Sorcerors (although sometimes I bring a third Sorceror along).

Always try to use 6 characters. Don't worry if new, inexperienced characters die. It is easy to resurrect them at the clinic. If they are still level 0 you can do it for free.
