Knights of the Old Republic: The Last of the Sith(Master Essenu's Group)

[The Other Librarian]

"Hmmm. No signs of life yet." Jei muttered as he poured over the computer results. Made sense in such an inhospitable place as this.
"Hang on... whats this?"
He zoomed in closer on the image, and what first appeared to be random blotches on the surface resolved into something more concrete.

"Mistress, take a look at these. I think this is a building complex of some kind, possibly a series of ruins"

((OOC: Would the Gand be piloting as he has a +1 with piloting and the Ship Operations feat (transports)? He'll be one day taking levels in Jedi Ace as well (assuming he levels three times. Whether or not he is piloting or not does make a difference in my RP at this point.)))

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Marin turned to look to the sensor screen and nodded, "There was once a Sith stronghold here...it is probably the best place to start our search. Though it is...much larger than I had suspected, so it may take a long time to do even with the Force aiding us."

Slowly, the ship began its descent through the atmosphere, heading towards the ruins at a cautious pace.

((OOC: There are two pilot seats in the Courier Ship...so its likely that Aalun would be assisting in the piloting. Thing is, Jedi Ace won't be useful to you at all. Its unlikely that there will be enough combat in ships/vehicles to warrant going for that PrC.))

Shombay buckles himself in and prepares for landing.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

The ship travelled low over the ruins. From the look of it, it was a huge collection of rock, stone, and frozen ice that stretched for hundreds of kilometers in all directions. Gigantic humanoid shaped statues could be seen every so often, and while some of the buildings were in one piece, there was a large amount of rubble and rocks strewn about.

As Master Essenu finally found the north 'edge' of the ruins, she brought the ship down near a huge arc, with ancient writing all along it. It was flanked by two massive hooded statues, staring down over the snowy land of the planet. With the ship down in the snow, Marin began the process of shutting down the systems after mentioning for the rest of you to get some cold gear and prepare for some exploration into the area.

((Shombay:

Spoiler

Something feels wrong about this place, especially the two statues. You cannot tell exactly what it is, but you can tell the dark side was once very strong here.

Jei:

Spoiler

Not long after setting down, you hear a voice in your mind. What it is saying, you aren't sure. It sounds like Basic, but distant and soft. Something about it causes you to feel very uneasy.

Aalun:

Spoiler

You can feel the precense of at least one other lifeform within the ruins somewhere. There is a strange and almost malevolent feel to the planet, and this prevents you from pinpointing the location of the lifeform.

Urcala:

Spoiler

For a moment, you can see the ruins as they once were, huge and amazing buildings with hundreds of robed people moving in and out. Many of them are creatures you could swear you recognize, but they are all distorted...mutilated...ruined almost. Permiating all of this is the dangerous feeling the ruins seem to be giving off.

[The Other Librarian]

As the group gathered their supplies, Jei was uncharacterisically quiet. His mind seemed to be elsewhere as he put on his gear and pulled his long all-temp cloak about him.

He moved toward the landing bay doors when he was ready and stood facing them, preparing himself for what lay beyond them.

"I have a bad feeling about this..."

(((OOC:

Spoiler

I will use See Force to get a reading of the local area, looking in particular for any possible source of the voices.

/OOC)))

 

[Vendetta]

Sitting in the second pilot chair, Aalun begins a scan of the area, both visual and electronic, using the ship sensors. Looking out at the frozen grounds, he shivers, partially afraid of such a cold place.

 

[The Goblin King]

Shombay Sule, Male Sneevel Jedi Guardian 3, Force Warrior 1

Shombay puts his cold weather gear on slowly, double checking everything.

Jei says, "I have a bad feeling about this..." Shombay nods in agreement, "Me too. Ah think wes shouldn't split up. Or at tha very least, go in pairs. Didja scan any lifeforms on tha way down?" He zips up his coat and looks over Aaluns shoulder.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

With the ship finally powered down, Master Essenu had also gotten ready. She returned to the ramp with a heavy cloak on over her usual grey clothes, the hood pulled over her head. After looking all of you over, she hit the switch to lower the ramp onto the snow below.

It was more ice, actually, but there was a light covering of snow to hide it. The cold wasn't bitter as much as surprising. It was something that could be gotten used to if it was required, and probably even possible to survive in for a long period of time. Once actually outside, it was apparent how large the ruins(especially the arch and statues) really were. At least ten times your size. And that was a low estimate. Whoever had built these were either huge, or liked the idea of grand buildings.

"With a planet like this, the Force will be a strong ally," Marin was saying as she surveyed the ruins, "There is likely little life here..."

((Jei:

Spoiler

You can feel at least one life form not too far away within the ruins. The life itself seems strangely dimmed in the Force, almost as if it doesn't exist within the Force.

))

 

[The Goblin King]

Shombay stares at the now gigantic statues through narrowed eyes. He follows a few paces behind Master Essenu. His hand never strays far from his lightsaber as he watches for any sign of danger or trap.
