Having agreed the Padawan and ARRO follow Joot through the tall grass of the valley towards the huge carvings. As they get closer they see that in the middle of the reilfs there is a crack in the valley wall, leading deeper into the mountains but being no wider then 3 meters at the most.

As the small group approaches, they see two Hiss’agoths sitting in front of this gateway and facing out into the valley. They are wearing heavy, yellow colored robes. Joot seems to hang back, saying to ARRO that he wishes to bad luck to befall him by offending the monks and does not wish to speak to them.

One of the robes Hiss’agoth stands and approaches, saying something. ARRO translates it to “He asks what we are seeking too bring here - peace or death?
 

"We are seeking to restore the peace broken by the Night Warlocks and their masters. We are trying to find their location so that we may confront them."
 

The Hiss’agoth listens to ARRO’s translations and then replies, “He says they have many reasons to distrust off-worlders and wonders why you have sought out this valley. He also asks about those that you burned by the lake…
 

"Joot's band attacked us. We tried to avoid killing them, but with eighteen against six, that's not easy even with the Force on your side; some of them didn't make it. Asked some questions, and it seems likely to us that the story that made it back to the Jedi Order when we were sent here didn't have all that much in common with the truth." Serrana said.
 

"Joot's band of Pure attacked us believing us the be acting wit the Night Warlock. It was unfortunate. Our goal here is to defeat the Night Warlocks and their masters and return peace to this world and to this region of space." Jade explains.

"We were hoping that you would instruct us on any legends and myths surrounding the Night Warlocks so that we can know our true opponents and possibly learn their location."
 

ARRO speaks with the monk again who seems to think for a moment. The sitting one then replies in a raspy voice, which ARRO translates back too the young Padawans "The sitting one there says that they know not where the Night Warlock hide, but that the lands were the vile worm built his den of misdeeds on was a bad place before the off-worlders came. The monks sent people south to warn the off-worlders about the bad place, but they were not listened too. Now the great darkness has awoke due too the actions of you off-worlder and the Night Warlocks again attack the people. If you wish to stop them, he says the place below the vile castle of the lying off-worlder worm would be a good place to start.

“This is starting to make sense,” Elan Xandar Renn said. “The Hutt built his palace atop a place strong in the Dark Side of the Force. This is the feeling Jade had when we first landed in Casino City.”

“Perhaps there is a cryogenic freeze chamber beneath the palace, or a Sith tomb, and the figure we saw in our vision at the palace was released from its resting place.”

“I am still unclear if these Night Warlocks are servants of the Sith we saw in our vision, or something else.”

“This certainly casts the actions of the Pure in a whole new light.”
 

Serrana thought for a second about how to ask what she's thinking of; primitive monks probably wouldn't have taken 'So, what's burried under the palace, then?' all that well...

"Do you know much about the evil that the Hutt built his palace on top of?" Serrana asked. "Or if there is any way to reach it without going through the building?" Fighting their way through a bunch of casino functionaries and low-level guards didn't sound like fun to her.
 

Translating the old monks reply, ARRO says to Serrana “He says that legends say once there was a great evil that awoke deep underground. This great evil called down from the sky, a great shadow. This shadow was known as the Shadow Lord and that it started a great war. It created the Night Warlocks to act as its war-leaders among the people. But the people banded together and fought back, driving the Shadow Lord away, and it was thought, destroying the Night Warlocks. Legends say that the caves under where the evil worm has built its fortress is where the great evil lived and that after the Shadow Lord fled back to the night’s sky, the great evil went back to sleep. But now it is said that it has again awoke… and that the Shadow Lord has returned. He knows of no other way to get to these caves, the evil worm's fortress was built right on top of them.
