Before we can get down to the important business of preparing for war, there is an issue to attend to.

Derik, whose family was slain by Sable Riders, is now a man. He is a promising warrior, to say the least. But the older weaponthanes call him "Derek Single-Path," because he is headstrong and follows his own way. He talks only of vengeance on the Praxians. He fights half-heartedly against other foes. He is rude to his elders, and prone to disappearing for long periods of time. "He is an asset to the clan," says Umathkar, "but a troublesome one."
Do nothing.
Praise Derik's pride and stubbornness.
Scold Derik for his pride and stubbornness.
Send Derik on a raid against the Sable Riders.
Tell the weaponthanes to let him be.
