Knights of the Old Republic - IC

[Karl Green]

Speaking with the Hiss’agoth again for a few moments, ARRO relays to following “He does not believe you Mistress Shesh. He says that you carry the fire-daggers, and that legends tell them that the Shadow Lords are great deceivers and liars.”

“He also says that he knows not where the Night Warlocks are from, for they raid the camps of all, seeking to capture children and those thought to carry the ‘spark of witchcraft’. He know not what happens to those taken, but assumes they are turned into Night Warlock. And recently these Warlocks have increased their raids, taken all kinds of prisoners, for sacrifice it is assumed. Legends say that the Shadow Lords have returned, too awaken some great hunger or evil that was left to slumber here many ages ago and that they again reside in their fortress in the night’s sky…”

"Please. I'm only a good deciever and liar, not a great one. And that's just due to my natural charm." Serrana says. "No, Arro, don't translate that."

"How long has this been going on?"

 

[Shalimar]

"All we can do is show him by our actions. If Nic, Arro, and Jarec will carry the bodies of the fallen onto the Star Jewel we can transport them to somewhere that we can build a pyre for them to keep to their beliefs. Please ask our friend for a location with the wood to build them a proper pyre."

"How long has this been going on?"

After speaking with the native for a moment, ARRO replies "The Night Warlocks started their raids about a year ago… before that they were almost nothing but legends, like the Shadow Lords. And then they really increased in the last couple of months. They say that they herald a great darkness, and the people are afraid."

"All we can do is show him by our actions. If Nic, Arro, and Jarec will carry the bodies of the fallen onto the Star Jewel we can transport them to somewhere that we can build a pyre for them to keep to their beliefs. Please ask our friend for a location with the wood to build them a proper pyre."

Again the droid translates and the after hearing what the Hiss'agoth has to say, he turns to Jade and says "He wishes to return to his valley, somewhere called Red-Sands Valley but he is afraid that you only wish to trick him so that you can discover the location of his village. He says instead that there is a place not far from here, near the monastery at Summer’s Lake that he is willing to show us to.”

 

[Shalimar]

"We will go to where he is willing to take us." Jade informs Arro and the Hiss'agoth, hoping that the gesture would help build trust. "I think that it is a safe bet that the Sith arrived here and activated the night warlocks to disrupt trade in this region. We need to track the Night Warlocks, if we can find them we could find the Sith."

Jarec snaps the shaft of a bloodied arrow with the toe of his boot. "We can say for sure that if these are indeed the Pure, they are not the heavily armed marauders we had been lead to believe. Others have been conducting these raids in their name. And it seems highly unlikely that these primitives had anything to do with the destruction of the beacon.

"If it is truly the Sith who are driving this situation, however, we are in desperate need of information regarding this evil they are seeking to awaken. To have drawn them here, and caused them to attempt to isolate this world, it must be a powerful force indeed.

"Perhaps we will be able to learn more of the Hiss’agoth legends at the monestary.

 

[Falkus]

"I agree. It seems a logical next step. Should we also, perhaps, alert the Republic vessel that there may be darker forces involved here that we initially suspected? If the Sith are, indeed, involved in this, then they could be capable of anything, including the destruction of the main Jump Beacon station. Our friends on the ship are expecting an attack by lightly trained, but fanatical, natives supported by some sort of offworld group. Not an attack that could be supported by the Sith."

 

[drothgery]

"Somone pretty high in the Republic administration here isn't playing straight. I'd vote for not showing our cards until we know for sure who and can get him out of the loop." Serrana said.

 

[Shalimar]

"While we are in the air we can send a message to Master Sunrider to warn her of the involvement of the Sith, whether or not we are able to resolve this, the Order must know that the Sith, or at least a similair group, are acting to destabilize the Republic. That and your suspicions about the local administrator since we don't have any authority to fix that particular situation. "
