Finish mastering Fist of Three Mountains and Swiftwind Step.  Then, allow all of our Steelhearts and Copperfeets the opportunity to test their mettle by sparring against us.  All of them.  At the same time.  Should provide a learning experience for everyone.

Zhoa Li should go around the area near our Armpit Shrine and ask the people of any nearby villages about their troubles, if they complain about bandits or violent beasts Zhao Li should slay them, increasing our Reputation. If they complain about another Sect we should investigate further before acting. After Zhao Li has helped out a few villages he should tell them that the Ironstrider Sect will continue to protect them as long as they supply us with their surplus crops and a tenth of their villages yearly currency income.[/b]

First we need to recruit some more disciples, we have only 9 of them. That's not even enough to constitute a reasonably large bandit gang. The larger our Sect is the more powerful we'll be, making the Villages more likely to listen to us.

+1 to mastering Fist of Three Mountains and Swiftwind Step, But only after we've recruited. Sparring with us should increase their loyalty and skill, so +1

And then do this ^

You set out to recruit new disciples for your sect merely a week after Zhang Wei has left to travel the world, and the results are quite outstanding as within four months you've managed to recruit a total of one hundred, and seventy-nine people to join the Ironstrider Sect. When you finally return to your sect after months away it is with a vast flock of new disciples following along behind you, and after you coordinate efforts to carve out new dwellings in the cavern for all of them you find the cavern has pretty much filled up at this point. You will need more space if you want to bring in more disciples. Not to mention actually feeding your disciples will be a bit challenging at the moment since only those who've broke through to Soul Fusion have no need to eat.

You trained in both of your martial arts on your journey, and although you feel your technique progressing you've yet to reach the next stage in either of them.

As your short period of training and recruitment finally draws to a close a man arrives at your sect one day who you recognize as the underling of a friend from your time in the Kingdom. When you invite him in, and ask why he has come you are given some rather horrifying news ... Zhang Wei was killed during a fight against a disciple from the One Hundred and Eight Coffins Sect ...
What to do now?

Teach them some of your martial arts?
Scout out nearby sects?
Recruit more disciples?
Go out in search of ferocious beasts?
Search for treasures?
Something else?

Commence Angst and Sadness Make a grand funeral where all shall be invited do our best to recover her body...cry a little....really a lot

[NRDL]

Have the aspirants undergo the same hellish training that everyone else went through, instruct them in the basics.  Those who don't survive are less mouths to feed.  Have them all continue their training, under the Steelhearts.

We must discover who killed Zhang Wei.  Both to test our strength against this One Hundred and Eight Coffins school, and to avenge our pupil.  Ask the underling where the sect is located.

Combine the two it would be really disrespectful to our pupil to not have a funeral for her but if we combine +1

[Sl4cker]

-1 to the grand funeral. Zhang Wei was strong, yes, and she truly deserves a funeral, but making the event too large will result in nothing more than wasted resources.

+1 to this.

[Cheesecake]

No official funeral. Hold an entire hour of silent mourning for a bright star snuffed out before her time.

+1 to having new aspirants train under the Steelhearts.

Also +1 to finding the One Hundred and Eight Coffins, but don't be violent about it. If Zhang Wei was killed unfairly, then take action. If it was an honorable fight (and death), accept it, no matter how hard it may be.

No amount of pain without can match the pain within.

[Salsacookies]

+1 to training, but -1 to mourning

Honestly, if I would not mourn for the tens of people who lost their lives for my teaching, then why would I mourn for one woman who was, simply, a drunken fool. My heart may lie heavy, but unless I begin to mourn for everyone, then I will mourn for no one. That is the way of Bronze, strong and unwavering.

[Cheesecake]

That's because the tens of people who lost their lives were drunken fools. Zhang Wei was beginning her path to something else. To be greater even than us. We're not mourning just the loss of someone we might have had affections for, but for the loss of potential.

+1, Also, after we deal with the One Hundred and Eight Coffins Sect we really need to set up a rudimentary Feudal tax system with the other Villages like I said.

The more experienced Disciples should train the Entry Disciples the same way Zhao Li did them.

We should have our new Disciples make there rooms by punching away at the walls until there rooms are finished.
