I disagree. We should hold off on training until there are better resources around. I generally view training time as time to kill a bunch of birds with one stone (thus upping my bird killing skill). The point is that some of us will take longer to train than others, such as Felix, who pretty much needs a forge to up his smithing skills. So in that time where some people are done training and others are still in progress, we can do things like make items (soon magic items), sell off extra treasure, or just do random things like gather info from our various sources. It also gives us a reason to go back to the big cities periodically rather than jump from one remote place to another, and that helps us to know what is going on in other places of the world. It might seem like we aren't fully prepared going after these gnolls, but we can just be careful and if we can't handle it now, then we can leave and come back later. Training in this way will become a whole lot easier once somebody learns teleport or something similar.
