[QUOTE="Daiymo, post: 1077176, member: 2539"] From behind the greenery of a low decorative hedge, a small form emerges, as if out of thin air, followed by a nervous looking Bothan wearing a hooded grey robe. Less than meter tall, with dark green skin, and furrowed brow, Master Vandar approaches the group. Wearing a bemused expression on his wizened face, the diminuative Jedi Master and Instructor stops to look over the three padawans. "You have all assembled. Good.", he begins, his tone grandfatherly and deliberate as always. "I hope you do not mind my request to meet here, but I am fond of these gardens. And it seemed a fine place to make my guest comfortable." Vandar nods absent-mindedly at the Bothan. Master Vandar begins to walk through the garden, looking around, the Bothan close behind. Master Vandar's species was unknown to the padawans, as was his age, but all Jedi in the Temple spoke of Master Vandar in reverential tones, and his great command of the Force was evident to even the most inattentive young Jedi. "I sense you each strain within the confines of the ziggaraut. But then again, one need not be strong in the Force to know this. That is normal I suppose." The Master sighs. "These times in which we live call for younglings to grow up faster than I would prefer. And such is our situation that the Jedi-all Jedi- must serve when they are asked. So it is for you three." Vandar leads the padawans around a bend in the garden to a small bench in an alcove. Master Vandar stops near the alcove. "Padawans, allow me to introduce Kreth, an...." Vandar pauses "...information broker. He has worked with the Coruscant Police and our Order in the past, and he is most reliable." Vandar turns to the Bothan. "Kreth, please relate your tale to my pupils." The Bothan lowers his hood, looking anxious. His fur ripples as he looks around the garden. "Ahh, honored Jedi. Great honor to work with you, yes. As I have told your Master, I have become recently acquainted with a rather small time smuggler, a Twilek named Griff Vao. He is new to this planet, for I have never met him before; and in my circles I know most everyone." Kreth smiles proudly. "This Twilek has let it been known that he has exotic artifacts for sale. Since I have contacts with several important personages in Coruscants, shall we say, [i]Underworld[/i], I was privy to a preview of these artifacts. Griff boasts that what he has are Jedi artifacts, crystals and talismans that I am ignorant of, but they look most expensive." Kreth's fur ripples."To be honest ,this surprises me, for Griff seems to be a being of rather low intelligence." Vandar interrupts."The Jedi Council would normally not be interested in this activity, but Kreth's description of the artifacts seems most accurate; they may well be Jedi in nature.
